Parrot Clay Pottery brought to you by Sarah Jane Mayberry made at Pearl City Clay House.🦜🎨
This colorful parrot was first etched by hand into the clay before being carefully painted using the beautiful blues, greens, yellows, black, and white seen in the reference photo. After the painting was complete, the piece was glazed, bringing out the colors and giving the finished pottery its beautiful shine.
Reference photo from Sharon Brooks Rutledge.
I loved working with the details and colors of this beautiful parrot and seeing how they translated from the photograph into clay. The etching adds texture and dimension to the feathers, face, eye, and beak, while the glaze helps bring the entire piece to life.
