Theresa Gong Porcelain

Thank-you for checking into my blogspot.

I make functional pottery on a potters wheel or slab roller.  I am currently working with a Cone 6  porcelain  clay body from Archie Bray in Helena.  My designs  are carved into colored slips and fired with a high glossy glaze in an electric kiln.

The Design Process

After a piece  is thrown on a potters wheel, I paint a thick layer of colored slip over the entire white clay body.  My designs and motifs are carved thru this slip.  A glossy glaze is applied over the slip design and fired to 2200 degrees faranheit.

For those of you who have been  inquiring about my teasets...   Most of the galleries listed below have one of my teasets.  You can e-mail or call these galleries to get more information about my work. I will have several teasets and many  other new pieces fired by the end of June.  E-mail and let me know if you want me to forward pictures and price list.  Thanks for asking....Theresa
