Miki Furoshu Native Clay

I was given the book ‘Urban Potters’ for Christmas a couple of years ago, and of all the artists this work is the one theta has stuck in my mind. Finding my own clay I fully understand why she wants to preserve the natural striations of colour. The clay I have found is orange rippled with blue grey. I was sad with my first batch that I had to dissolve this and wedge it into a conglomerate mass. But I have found another little patch and I hope to try out this effect.

I need to sketch out a lot of forms. Perhaps mimicking the fragments of found glass and ceramics?

I feel it best to fire these at university since I don’t want the whole thing to go black, however if I make small forms then there may be room to do both.
