Honoured to have 2 of my Phase Change vessels included in the Shape of Change group show, curated by @do-the-art-thing.bsky.social. Really looking forward to seeing the exhibition, such a neat theme.

Seven inches tall, newly made pinched porcelain vessel. Standing on a narrow foot that seems to disappear. The form is a bright sky or cobalt blue that will become even more intense after firing. The surface is deeply textured, due to the unique pinching technique that Christine Pedersen has developed over her last 25 years of pinching clay. This technique means that each piece is always unique--the texture emerges from the clay, as the artist encourages the clay to tell its story.
Pinching process underway: looking down into a half-made blue porcelain vessel, resting gently in the artist's hand. Its' interior is beautifully smooth, though the exterior is intensely textured. Another highly textured blue vessel is in the background waiting for its turn to be worked on.
A couple of blues.
My pinching process gives both of us--me, and the clay--time to develop our stories.

S l o w job--adding teensy bits of clay to create the modelled rim on a blue and white porcelain vessel (see last post). Inspired by the UN’s 2025 International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation.

I love the Alien movies, this is my drawing of a venomorph, this cup was from a few years ago for a buddy. I might have to do another on of these, this was a blast to carve. #pottery #ceramics #porcelain #alien #contemporaryart #contemporaryporcelain #celadon
One of my all time favorite cups, I love the celadon glaze on this cup, it highlights the carving perfectly. This is one of those pieces that you wish you never sold but it went to a great home #pottery #ceramics #porcelain #celadon #translucent #succulent #contemporaryart #contemporaryporcelain
Cheers to a hopefully better place and community!
Looking forward to talking about ceramics, art and life in general...
