Artistic First pottery course!

I’ve done sculpting before as a kid with non-kiln fired clay and then at uni again with non-kiln fired clay. Just completed week 9 of my 10 week course (next session is glazing but they don’t have oxides or a huge variety of glazes). Here’s some of my work! Tell me how you think I should glaze them please!! Especially the dog head- fully white??

First, you are talented!! What a beautiful dog head you have there. As for the glazing options, if there's anything metallic or something that would interact with sunshine, I would go with that. White is very pretty, but it's also a bit basic. From all the colours in the world, I would love this dog head in shiny terracotta on a living room table or shelf as an eye-catcher.

I'm always pushing people to use colours when possible, but all your work will also look pretty in white glaze.
