This <strong>Textured Amber Brown Frozen Pond<\/strong> bowl by Claire Darwin showcases how layered glazes and glassy surfaces can mimic the depth and stillness of ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soft transitions, subtle movement, and reflective glaze layers work together to create a surface that feels calm and atmospheric &#8211; much like looking into a real frozen pond. The gentle blending of tones adds dimension and visual interest, while the glossy finish enhances the sense of depth and light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This technique has become popular among potters because it combines artistic expression with natural inspiration. Each layer contributes to the final effect, making every piece unique and full of character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A heartfelt thank you to <strong>Kathy McGuire<\/strong> for sharing and inspiring the Frozen Pond technique within the pottery community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ClairDarwin.jpg\" alt=\"Textured Amber Brown Frozen Pond by Claire Darwin\" class=\"wp-image-4615\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ClairDarwin.jpg 600w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ClairDarwin-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ClairDarwin-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ClairDarwin-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ClairDarwin1.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen Pond by Claire Darwin\" class=\"wp-image-4614\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ClairDarwin1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ClairDarwin1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3x AMACO <a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=textured-amber-brown\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"978\">Textured Amber Brown<\/a> x3 all over (inside and out)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectrumglazes.com\/product\/1173-rung-hot-chowder\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Spectrum Running hot chowder<\/a> spots applied with a round sponge tip inside and out<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2x <a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=iron-lustre\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"457\">AMACO Iron Lustre <\/a>outside<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2x thick <a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=power-turquoise\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"333\">Laguna Power Turquoise<\/a> inside<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Credits: Claire Darwin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small Stoneware Bowl by Claire Darwin, featuring Textured Amber Brown The Frozen Pond technique, inspired&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4615,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":197,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,30],"tags":[207,457,333,84,978],"class_list":["post-4612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-combos","category-bowls","tag-frozen-pond","tag-iron-lustre","tag-power-turquoise","tag-running-hot-chowder","tag-textured-amber-brown"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4612"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4612\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12388,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4612\/revisions\/12388"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
