Paulownia Leaf Dish large blue
These amazing Paulownia trees grow in St. Peters Square. In Spring you may have seen the beautiful purple flowers, which gives rise to the other name they are known by, the Foxglove Tree. Last Autumn I came across their fallen leaves and couldn't believe the size of them! I just had to collect some and make some clay impressions. Clay and glazing can be unpredictable so the success rate of my first attempt wasn't very high! There were only a handful of pieces which turned out as expected.
This is one of them, made from buff clay with blue glaze
