My light design had to change after my stencil failing to work, I decided to hand build a smaller version with slabs. Each segment is built up of 7 slabs; a slip had to be made for each segment as each segment is a different colour. Once all the segments were complete and separate, I cut out the space for the light to fit in. When the hole was cut I tidied up each segment and joined all the segments.
I am going to let the piece dry slowly so that the join in the centre doesn't crack. I will fire the piece on a earthenware bisc firing at 1120 degrees, this should keep the colour of the clays richer.
