Two clay pieces lay on a table in black and white. The visible sides are marbled.
The pattern of the marbling is shown closer.
A throwable ball of clay is made out of the two pieces, with the pattern of the marbling still visible.
I love every step of making agateware. Even the balls of clay when wedging look incredible.

A marbled curved vase sits next to plants.
A different side of the vase is shown.
More marble vase.

A marbled ceramics oil bottle with a lid on top.
The bottom is shown on the bottle. The marbling is also seen on it.
Holy shit fuck yes this came out so goddamn incredible. I thought I ruined it after I spilled some black glaze on it and couldn't get it out of the pores. This rocks so hard and the lid fits super well too.

A marbled circle of black and white clay is on a pottery wheel.
Today's left behind marble scrap on the wheel. From making lids where the part attached to the wheel becomes the top.

Trimming the bottom of a red and white agateware mug. This goes out to all the people who find trimming videos satisfying (I don't get it).

A white and light red clay patch is on a potter's wheel, evidently the remnants after a piece was wired off the wheel and removed.

Another agateware pieces, this one a planter. I fired it unglazed to see if I like that. I do but I like the glaze more I think.

I don't think I'm ever gonna stop making agateware. The marble effect is just so damn good.

A marbled black and white clay mug sits on a potter's wheel. In the splash tray around the wheel, porcelain black and white trimmings in long stripes sit.
A closer look at the trimming scraps.
I love with agateware, even the trimming scraps are pretty.

A mug with a white and red marbled pattern sits on a shelf.
The same mug now fired, is held in a hand. It is now white and black but with the same pattern and light/dark spots.
Before/After of a stoneware agateware mug. I'm mixed on the glaze, as this clear has some drawbacks, but I love the piece.

My favorite oil bottles yet. The last few I made were loose where the cap sat, so I really hope these turn out well.
They're really efficient for stain use due to the wedging method I've been doing, using ~0.5 lb of dyed clay and ~3 lbs of plain clay.

A few mugs I made this weekend before/after trimming. I love how constrating they are after. I like the blending in a different way though, and I think I may know how to replicate it post trimming if I feel like it in the future.

4 mugs, 2 planters, and 5 miniature vases, all marbled and black/white or orange/white sit upside down on a table.
Currently glazing pottery and trying to pretend the world is not getting worse every day. Wouldn't it be crazy if good things happen?

Marble orange mugs I've been making. Full throwing video at some point (probably). Maybe once I'm back from Winnipeg. Tests are hopefully done soon for new colors, so eventually I'll hopefully have blue, red, purple and yellow marble mugs.

A marbled lump of porcelain is pictured on the left. On the right is a marbled clay oil bottle. A similar pattern is seen circled on both pictured.
How wedging can effect the end result in agateware. Pretty happy with this one. Hopefully the oil bottle cap fits well on this one because honestly I haven't really figured out that part yet.

A marbled clay planter, with stripes carved into it, creating a surface similar to gears.
The carvings seen in closer detail.
Today I tried out some carving on an agateware planter. It was definitely a neat result, but not without incident, as you can see in the last 2 pics. Thankfully nothing unfixable though.

I had some disasters happen with some of my pieces. Nothing explosive, but I think I had clays that shrank too differently, and caused some bloating, bubbles and cracking. At least I was able to look at it in depth after breaking it.

I've made some changes to my wedging process for agateware. This really helps maximize the pattern and effects I can get in a piece with a small amping of stained clay (stain is expensive and takes work to wedge in).

So happy with this oil vase. I have to do some fancy wedging and throwing techniques to get this sort of marbling effect instead of just a spiral, but it's so worth it.

Miniature agateware vase.
These are so cute and it seems people who buy stuff from me love them a whole lot more than I even love making them.

Throwing and trimming process for afore-posted big marble vase. I'm loving how it's coming out but already have ideas for the next one.
Also sorry for bad camera work and not including the top piece attachment (a class was starting).

Quick update on some of my agateware pieces. I especially love mug#2 (white/brown). I need to figure out exactly how I wedges that and replicate it.

Big (maybe 1.5 feet?) agateware vase is now trimmed. Only 4.5 lbs before it's even dry. I think I'm loving porcelain more than I ever liked stoneware. It's gonna look so good when it's fired.
#ceramics #art #porcelain #agateware #wheelthrownpottery
I wish it was more feasible to get these sort of swirls that you see on the bottom of this piece on to the main body. It looks so neat and stark with the black/white contrast.

A marbled mug rests on a table between two plants. The mug is black and white with swirls and patterns similar to marble.
Another side of the mug is shown with other interesting patterns. The white handle can be seen in a side profile.
My first finished agateware mug! It's already been conscripted by my gf, but I have others for future markets.
Unfortunately I also had some busts in the same batch, likely due to a compatibility issue with one porcelain I used.

A ceramic vase is being thrown on a pottery wheel. The bottom 2/3rds is marbled with black and white portions, and there is a section of the vase that is just white on top. It is somewhat curvy, widening from the foot to it's belly, narrowing to it's neck and opening to a rim the same size as the foot.
A big agateware pot is underway. This also literally isn't even it's final form, but a class was starting and I had to stop recording.

Throwback to the time I took my pottery to the Denver Selfie Museum for a photoshoot.

Trimming process for a porcelain agateware butter crock. These turned out so wonderfully and the contrast was so sharp.
And yes, I was spraying water on this dry piece frequently during this, hence a bunch of trimmings sticking to me.
