Can we send JD Vance on the next moon mission? Leave him there
.
I'm enjoying making with this very sandy body
.
I find faceting somewhat challenging
.
Not the doing, but after
.
Lengthy trimming needed so they're not too heavy
.

Decided to make a largish platter like the fired one on the right
.
Just a little deeper and fully slipped with porcelain
.
Maybe spray some helmer
.
Fire it upside down in the middle of the anagama
.

You can't leave me alone for five seconds
.
With a squeeze bottle
.
What could I have been thinking
.
Not much or too much, take your pick
.

Future salad plates freshly ribbed with Troy slip
.
Also a fired platter of similar design but an even darker body
.
I'd like some flash
.
Troy usually does, but it hardly did on the platter, so maybe I'll atomize some Helmer over as well
.

Productive day at the studio trimming (my least favorite part of the process) some pieces I threw Tuesday night. Trump still sucks - hope when all is done these pieces won’t! #pottery #pottersofbluesky #wheelthrown #trumpsucks
After getting some real ick out of the kiln earlier in the week, the Goddess of Glazing has blessed me once again!!! #losangelesartist #queerartist #ceramicsculpture #ceramicvase #gaypottery #pottersofbluesky
Gave a final trim to the lid so it fits, as the jar moves toward bone
.
Thinking PD Crackle for the exterior, except lid and ears in gold shino
.
A red shino liner, or perhaps nuka
.
No deco--leaving room for flame and ash to paint
.
Where does maker end and world begin

Impeachment? Congress is dead
.
25th Amendment? There are only self-interested suckups in the executive

Thanks John Roberts, for putting our very own home-grown war criminal beyond the law

Phases of the moon on a black background on a ceramic plate
The Artemis II astronauts will return home having seen the dark side of the moon.
I will have to update the design on this plate!!
Skeet your lunar pottery designs below.

There's a change in color as this body dries
.
It goes from red in the bag (pliable) to yellow on the wheel (throwable)
.
Then back to red, then yellow as it dries to bone
.
Here we are, going from medium leather to hard leather
.
A mystery, but I have a few ideas
.

A plate that holds 6 eggs in a pale blue green celadon glaze
A ceramic plate that holds 12 eggs in a neutral off white glaze.
A ceramic plate that holds 6 eggs in a drippy green glaze
A ceramic plate that holds 12 eggs in a glossy green glaze with dots and flowers
Egg Plates? For Easter? Groundbreaking.

Debating if the lugs should come off
.
Firmly concluded a knob would be better than a strap for the lid, though
.
Still need to trim to fit
.
Funny, the proportions look too squat through a camera, just right through the eye
.

A couple of pilsner mugs
.
Midway through a set of four
.
Don't think I'll do these again soon
.
It's hard enough throwing the narrow form
.
It's a struggle to get a handle on when getting your fat mitts inside the cylinder isn't possible

Copper Matt Raku yesterday. Came out nice. A little duller than the picture.

Three-piece jar today
.
There are always slight imperfections to revel in
.
A little more refining, then I'll throw a lid
.
Handle across the lid
.
Trim

Two lugs
.
End the forever wars
.
They break people
.
And the crockery

More mugs
.
Thrown from Laguna's Amador, a very sandy, high Fe body
.
The reason for the different heights: I kept having to pull wooden splinters from the old, moldy clay
.
The mold increases plasticity, so I didnt mind that
.
Could have done without the splinters though
.

Put that new tabletop right to work cutting ware boards.

Lid and pourover trimmed to fit the coffeepot's gallery

No great insights today

Coffeepot and pourover thrown from "Bruiser"
.
Still need to trim the lid and the flange on the pourover to fit the gallery
.
But that needs to wait until the clay is hard leather

A handmade porcelain bowl glazed in shades of blue and purple
Today's kiln prize!
I also made a bunch of matte pastel cups, but they came out streaky 😒

The warm grey tones of my Beach Rocks wreath vase do compliment his silver tabby colors very well.
I did not know a model was necessary for housewares, but J'Zargo makes a very good point, he is a handsome cat. #studiomanager #model #cat #tabby #pottersofbluesky

The glaze looks more blue than green or turquoise. Background matters.
