Canvas Painting

Monday, July 15th at 6pm, we'll paint this village scene together. Canvas is 12" x 16". Call 314-842-0110 to sign up.

The next class will be this abstract triptych. The time has not yet been scheduled.

We are now doing canvas painting classes at Baked Goods Pottery. The first class will be this wildflower painting. The class is Wednesday May 15 at 6 p.m. Call 314-842-0110 for more information or to book your space.

I just finished painting and firing this bird. It's a new shape we got in recently and is fairly large. There are 2 versions: one looking left, and one looking right. I used some crackle glazes on the body and wings to give it an interesting texture. Its coloring is loosely based on an English robin.

Hoots and Scratches

Our next class will be making this owl and vase on Saturday, March 2nd at 10 a.m. The owl is painted on a leaf plate. The vase is a contemporary shape with a pattern of lines scratched into the surface.  We'll do both pieces for $60. You can sign up online at www.bakedgoodspottery.com/classes/classes.html or call us at (314) 842-0110. You can also visit our shop anytime at 11557 Gravois Road, St. Louis, and sign up in person.

Price includes both pieces and all supplies and materials required.  Hope to see you there!

Here are some finished pieces from earlier posts.

This owl...

Painted a quickie owl tonight. This is a new shape we've been pouring in our shop and we needed a sample painted. It's been antiqued underneath, so it's hard to tell what the finished look will be until it's fired. Fingers crossed...

I've been working on a giant dinosaur egg for Easter.  Here it is about 2/3 done.

The back side has some mistakes, but that is what back sides are for. I will post again after it's finished and fired.

Finished Snail

Here's the finished snail. The body is a little dark. I should have done a second layer of orange on the spots to make them brighter. The shell is a little too bright. You can't really see the mother-of-pearl overglaze from the photo.

What do you think?
