A wooden table covered in various pottery pieces all made from black porcelain with white accents and blue glaze on the inside. Mugs, cups, shot glasses, pour-overs, saké sippers

Last two kind firings lined up my workbench. My glaze experiments did not work but everything else turned out good. Now I just have to sand. All. Of. It. 😫

Here are some progress pics of my new garlic roaster design. See the finished pieces in person this Saturday at the Milford Art Affaire. As usual these are made from Blackice porcelain.

Three black porcelain garlic roasters are drying on a metal shelf. Each garlic roaster resembles a lava lamp with the main conical section as the lid which rests in a gallery at rim of the base. The base is a cylinder which flares out at the top to accept the lid.

Trying out a new garlic roaster shape. This one is more angular in keeping with the rest of my work, but pays homage to my original design.

I throw this in 3 pieces: the base, the main body of the lid, and the top handle.

It's been a while, #Bluesky. Took a moment away from the wilderness & found myself in the city streets of Cincinnati. #photography #travel #travelphotography #cityphotography #Cincinnati #Ohio #CincinnatiOhio #Cincy #QueenCity #TheQueenCity #downtownCincinnati #CincinnatiArt #OverTheRhine #Westwood

Another vase, this one in my usual cobalt glaze and a white slip inlay.

Sometimes I wonder if my style is too one-note but I’m the kind of person who listens to the same song for a month and having that come through in my pottery feels natural.

A short black porcelain vase with a wide mouth and inlaid white porcelain band above the mid-section. The mouth and interior of the vase are glazed in a flowing purple glaze with white specks.

I’ll call this another glaze experiment but I didn’t actually change the glaze since the last experiment I just thought it would look nice on this vase.

A painting of a girl in pink tones. She is inspired by a sculpture in the Cincinnati Art Museum "The Artist's Daughter, Nora, as 'The Infant Psyche'" by Randolph Rogers. A bright green butterfly gently sits on her shoulder.

Psyche was a Greek mortal who fell in love with Cupid, the god of love. I painted this after being inspired by a sculpture by Randolph Rogers at @cincyartmuseum.

"Divine Odalisque"

I'm happy because I see improvement, and that's all I can ask for! Also could have done the eyelashes better, but learned for next time. I'm practicing drawing different body types too.
