An unfired ceramic columnar bird feeder is sitting on a work table. The top is textured like a shingles roof and the body is carved to resemble a stone tower. A ceramic bird is attached to the roof.

OH BOY let's see if I can pull this off #pottery #ceramics #slabpottery
A clay slab with knitted texture
The slab cut in half and pasted lengthwise
Giving the ol' horizontal stitch a go. This texture is so deep it makes any change in form very obvious, but I'm all out of ideas at this point. #ceramics #pottery #slabpottery #knitting
A rounded clay form with knitted texture
Been a while since I worked with a rounded form, relearning a few things as I go. Now to let this bad boy set up and mature like a fine cheese #pottery #ceramics #slabpottery #potterysky
Two knitted texture slabs lain over round forms
Having another go at a rounded form. Will this one end in tears&swearing? Stay tuned! #ceramics #pottery #slabpottery
A knitted texture fondant mold and the clay sheet cast from it
Back at it again #ceramics #pottery #slabpottery #fondantmolds
Two clay cylinders with knitted texture
I am having more success managing this texture on cylinder form. As I go along I find myself learning how to manipulate it with less cracking, etc. There's a bit of a learning curve but this surface is soooooooo worth it. #pottery #ceramics #slabpottery
Three rounded tiles with knitted texture on a semisphere form
So since I've experimented on a straight cylinder form to mixed success, now I'm going to try a gentle curve and see how it do. #slabpottery

You know it’s truly spring when #grapehyacinth season begins☀️🪻😀
Changing my art with the seasons is fun and also helps keep my work small batch and unique. Here’s to pops of spring color bringing pops of hope…✌️🌈✊

I’ve been busy at my #pottery job but it turns out that I can still throw #mugs and make #slabpottery coasters. Here’s a taste from this #transartist and his studio 😊
If you’ve been following along you saw my under/glazing process. Here’s the finished piece! Thank you for your interest😁
Hope you’re finding some joy this week to help you keep up the fight against fascism✌️✊

Hidden Valley Ranch White glaze fired in reduction. #pottery #ceramics #handcarvedstamp #handbuilt #handbuiltpottery #handbuiltceramics #slabpottery
I lived in Northern AZ a few lifetimes ago. Sometimes I miss those sandstone reds🏜️
I had those rocks in mind for this first time marbling two clay bodies together. I sealed these with Liquid Quartz so they’ll be food/dw safe.
Thoughts? Make more or no?

A marbled orange, brown, and white pitcher on a grey background
The other side of the pitcher
Fun throwback of the day: my slab pitcher from my first flirtation with mokume gane. This was from when I finally figured out I can roll all the tiny slices into a big slab instead of using them piecemeal on the mold #pottery #ceramics #slabpottery
Texturizing with hand made clay stamps. Labor intensive but immensely enjoyable. #pottery #ceramic #ceramics #slabpottery #handbuiltpottery

The ag-science teacher gave me a fern today from their foliage order😃 Don’t you love the imprints the spores on the back of the fronds leave on this future planter!?! #natureimprints #ferns #natureartist #slabpottery #handbuiltceramics #fernart #slabbuiltceramics
