Planning and using a yellow engobe on some slab built ceramic vessels.

Having made some small slab built ceramic pieces I am now thinking about the surface and how I will apply marks, colour, texture etc. These vessel forms have more horizontal proportions than the pieces I usual make so thinking about how the marks and shapes are applied to these is more of a challenge. I have decided to use a variety of yellow colours on the surface of these pieces. It is a similar colour to one I recently used on a larger piece that was successful and had potential for further use.
This video includes a time lapse section of me applying the engobe and slip to the surface as well as incising and impressing marks and using underglaze pencils.
At the end of the video I show how the pieces turned out before they dry ready for the first firing in the kiln. Following the firing, some oxides and glazes will be applied before a further firing.
