OBA (Old British Artist) gets into The Cabinet of Fame

Very old and decrepit British 'artist' makes the 'Cabinet of Fame' at Morley College, with an over sized pear. 

Made with pugmill clay over a period of five to six weeks.  Spray glazed with 'Lime Green', 'Yellow', 'Philmore Red' and tooth-brushed flicked and flecked with 'Sherry' glaze.  The stem is courtesy of Morley College's garden, and the fruit sticker produced in Photoshop.


Useless bowl was glazed 'Shiny Yellow' inside with a TOXIC 'Sky Blue' outside.  The blue glaze was poured on an upside down pot in patches to achieve this patterned effect.


Grayson Perry's Alan Measles inspired tray.  Depicting Alan Measles on his journey on the Kenilworth AM1 motorbike tour of Germany to Backnang (twin town with Chelmsford).  Glazed with Copper Oxide and Celadon.



These hearts have been lovingly imprinted with Savoy cabbage leaves, glazed with 'Crackle #2' over a red slip.
