Clay studio update – 16 June 2024

It’s pottery season, so I’ve been busy, here’s a little peek at whats been happening in the clay studio:

I’ve been experimenting with new ways to decorate the surface of my pottery. In particular, I want to carve designs and have more than one color

work in progress forms without handles in various stages of trimming

these work in progress cups have painted patterns (3 coats each) and then are carved for more details

More designs with this technique. I have started to carve into ‘unpainted’ clay in hopes of a variety in the surface once glazed

I just finished assembling these cappuccino or soup style cups. Looking forward to decorating them. The interior is wide enough, there is an opportunity for some artwork!

We are at the beginning of a heatwave here in Kentucky, a great time to work inside and make pots, so stay tuned!

      Thanks for asking! Two (the deer and bunny) made it into my last kiln firing, they *should* – if all goes well – be available on friday or saturday at my studio in Old Washington. I am still working on the rest of the batch, and hope to have another firing in 2 weeks or whenever I can fill the kiln again. Hope to see you soon!
