A ring
PMC being magic, I decided to play with the last trial packet I had, and make a ring. Originally intended as a present for Paul, I didn't take enough into account the shrinkage, because it ended up too small. Fits me well though - I swear it wasn't by design!
Below are a series of pictures, at each stage of the process, from raw clay to shiny silver. (Except photos of firing - not enough hands for torch and camera at the same time.)
Raw clay:
Sanded and ready for firing:
Post-firing, covered in white crap from the firing process:
White crap now gone, leaving matte finish silver ring:
Some burnishing later, shiny silver ring:
