Le coppe rosse di Arezzo
Arezzo è famosa per vasetti rossi lucidi. Si chiamano “terra sigillata” o “ceramica aretina”. Artigiani bravi modellano, decorano e cuociono. Le coppe viaggiano in tante città dell’Impero.

A close-up view of three different colored lumps of dry clay on a cement floor. One is reddish brown, one is off-white and the other is dark gray. They are all from the Gulf Coast region: Louisiana & Alabama. The reddish brown clay looks sandy and contains mica.

Four containers with different colored clay solutions are displayed on a countertop. The leftmost container is labeled "AL KAOLIN," the second one is "NM GREY," the third is "AL PINK," and the rightmost is labeled "TOLEDO BEND.” The solution marked AL KAOLIN corresponds with the off-white clay in the first photo. The TOLEDO BEND solution corresponds with the gray clay in the first photo. The gray and pink solutions in the center are clays I already had—I just needed a refill.

I got three clay samples in the mail yesterday from my #ClayPal @archeaids and it prompted a round of sig making.

I dissolved each clay sample in water and sieved through 60 mesh, added a tiny amount of sodium silicate to deflocculate and now to let them sit […]

I'm experimenting with different ways to create a lava like texture. I've applied a white terra sigillata to a bisque body and brushed on a mix of white vinegar and bicarb. The surface clay has bubbled nicely but will the texture survive being fired?

Two black espresso cups stacked on top of one another.

I’ve been making like crazy and it’s so nice to unload the kiln and see the results.

I’m happy with how things have come out, especially these two little cups that just can’t wait to hold some morning espresso.

These couple of pieces are made from the wild clay I processed a few weeks ago. The white terra sigillata has a wonderful metalic sheen and looks great against the rough textured surface. So in love with how these turned out! What do you think?

A square photo of a decorative ceramic pot featuring intricate geometric patterns in warm earthy tones, with a glossy turquoise interior.

This is the piece I’m donating for the #KaaboClay Award later this month. It’s one of the first I made after developing my #WildClay #TerraSigillata surfaces. In making this type of work, I feel I’m bringing together my reverence for #nature and admiration of […]

some WIP as channeling rage, despair into working with clay has granted some relief. Handbuilt stoneware, some terra sig and exploring shapes

Two small bud vases sitting on a wooden shelf. A beige bud vase sits in front of a red bud vase.

Quick snap of two of my baby bud vases sitting in the Gathering US shop in downtown Boston. The pomegranate terra sig color in back has quickly become my favorite.

Pile of red clay ceramic test tiles in various colors and a notebook with notes regarding what colors were used on each test tile.

Three ceramic pots made with red clay, unfired.

So many choices! Trying to find the right terra sigillata colors to add to these pots. #pottery #terrasigillata #pottersofbluesky

Square photo of two handmade ceramic scoops are lying on a concrete floor. The scoop on the left is brown with a yellow handle and a light green interior, and the one on the right is tan with a reddish brown handle and an aqua blue interior. They lie next to each other, one right side up, the other upside down. Both have unique, acorn-shaped textured handles.

An intricately designed ceramic jar with handles and a light green accent is displayed on a speckled countertop. Next to it, an open decorative scoop reveals yellow corn kernels inside, alongside a lid shaped like a small acorn. The background shows a well-lit kitchen.

Here’s how the scoops turned out. They work really well with my kitchen crocks and the handles feel nice to hold. #beautility #functionalpottery #pottery #ceramics #keramik #terrasigillata

A trio of green bud vases sitting on a wooden shelf

The last of their kind (for now, at least). This deep green didn’t make the cut for my final color palette. Still, it’s a pretty nice color - maybe it’ll make it into a special seasonal line…

Mug from my latest kiln opening—I think this is my most favorite mug that I’ve made so far. Added some zircopax and brightened up my green terra sig and so happy with it now. 🥰

After a few months and 200+ test tiles, I’ve narrowed in on a color palette that works for me. I have a wee bit more work do find a soft, earthy green that will work, but I’m pretty pleased with the results!

A cardboard box filled with ceramic tiles of multiple colors. Mostly in shades of brown or blue.

Seven rectangular tiles in seven different colors.

Out of 200 Terra sigillata test tiles, seven ratty looking samples will move on to round 2 of testing. None are burnished, so the colors are a bit dull and muddy. Next up: 13 color variants - and this time they’ll be burnished!

Small green bud vase in a ray of light. The vase is holding two dried flower stems.

Another piece from my recent collection.

As much as I miss the precision of throwing with porcelain, I do appreciate the warmth and irregularity that coil building brings.

Candle pieces post-bisque, pre glaze firing. They’re all cooling in the kiln right now, prayers and vibes for a successful firing!

A green and blue mug with surface texture that looks like wood. Surface has circles and diamonds stamped.

Interior of a ceramic mug. Outer circle is teal and center has a yellow dot.

Mug shot Monday! Here’s another mug from my last firing. I used yarrow stalks from my I Ching days to add some texture, rolling them over the slab before piecing the mug together. Surface is sanded and feels like butter. 🧈😋 #redclay #standard308 #terrasigillata #pottery #mugshotmonday #redclaylove

Something new. Looks like I will have some pots for Valentine’s Day after all! Mug pair, decorated with colored terra sig. Loving the monochrome moment, let’s see how the kiln treats them.
