I made some new stickers before NCECA. I call it meditation with intrusive thoughts. #redpanada #nceca #potterywheel #wheel-thrown #pottery

Oof! That sounds painful in many ways.

Been there, but I didn’t know where it came from either 😕

A gaiwan, a cup with the lid sitting next to it.

I played around with making my version of a gaiwan.

😆 the cute little bum! I love it

Absolutely charming 

True star

Excited to announce that I’ve finally set up an online shop. I can only have 12 items at a time but I’m loading up the shop this weekend! Watch this space for announcements - they will probably go live next week

There’s looking at the bright side!

Anytime! Yeah, It was the only way I could think of to glaze the whole thing without ending up with glaze spikes from the stilts.

There’s a hole in the end of the stem so I could hang it in the kiln.

Thank you, @barnartist457.bsky.social I love when it works out 😄

Correction! I use a community kiln so I don’t set it myself -and just learned that the two on the right were likely cone 6 with a 5min hold. So I guess the more cloudy look is from cone 5 and more glassy is cone 6

This glaze combo came out great. Very heavy coat of the textured Turquoise to start.

Ceramic bowl with glaze dripping down from the rim in all colors like dripping rainbows into a deep reddish brown bottom on the outside and Carmel color to a rustic light yellow on the inside.

Some recent bowls with some fun glazing.

This guy’s child has cystic fibrosis- a disease where the life expectancy has doubled in his lifetime thanks to the research he is taking an axe to. Monstrous.

I burned my pinky and needed to keep it clean, so throwing was out, but I had some fun with hand building organic shapes and slip stenciling.

Yes, it is 🙂

New WIP. Used erosion technic then carved in a bit more and painted with underglaze watercolors

Oh wow, I was so sure it was textured turquoise! It’s wild how glaze can differ between clays and kilns. Beautiful piece.

Yes! So satisfying!

I mean ancient copper is lovely for a daily, but everyone needs that mug for your Cleopatra felling days right?

Ceramic octopus with two of his eight arms formed in circles to hold things. A scissors through one of them.

He was meant to be a toothbrush holder, but the holes are too thin. Now he menacingly holds a scissors. Try and take it if you dare.

Thanks! Yes, a single glaze. Amico Potter’s Choice River Rock. The inside is X3 and the outside is more random. One good layer and then random additional strokes,

Here she is. Fresh from the murky deeps of the kiln.

Watched this over and over

I’m going with PC River Rock glaze. Hope it turns out 🙏 May the kiln gods bless this choice.
