Someone at GCS studio wanted know how to make defined colored "speckles" on white clay. So I thought I would have a go.
Carved out grooves in body at leather hard stage which is then filled with terracotta clay. Compressed terracotta into body with wooden tool on the wheel followed by some trimming.
Some sanding and burnishing when bone dry. Have to use finer sand paper next time.

Bisque, sanded and glazed on the inside and lip.
Finally out of the kiln. Thought that the results were pretty neat. The black specks near the mouth is sand I got from beach in Taiwan.
However it crack in the kiln. No idea why.
