hopeless pot(tery) head!
Spent the day trimming and adding handles, threw a few more cups too. Some white slip on 3 of the 4 pitchers. Will be ready to carve tomorrow.
More Test pots
After almost 3 years of working in porcelain, I’m exploring a new clay/glaze combination. It’s a dark red stoneware made here in Kentucky. I’m able to combine my love of clay, carving AND PAINTING for this new surface design.
November work in progress
stay tuned to see how they look after glaze firing!
us 62 cups – work in progress
Test results are in!!!
I’ve been trying something new with clay, and going through some trial and error to get the clay/glaze combination to work right.
I finally have the chemistry working! Here are my latest test results:
they are all food/microwave safe. As always, they are not available online, you will have to visit my studio in person to add one to your collection!
100 cup challenge – live video playback
yesterday, for the 100 cup challenge, i threw a few cups on facebook live. Here’s a shortened and sped up replay of a few of the cups.
Today they get handles!!! Stay tuned!
25 July 2022-kiln opening
Today the kiln decided to be really nice to me, and didn’t make rubble out of any of the porcelain plates and bowls that I spent so much time to decorate. (none of the plates seemed to warp either. Lots of bears inspired by my summer at Arrowmont. Also a NEW COLOR!!! I little darker than I expected, but I can adjust it to be more of a bluegrass blue!
If you are familiar with me, you know I ONLY sell my pots in person. No online sales, no shipping. If you would like to have one of these (and support my work) come see me this friday (29 July) at the Pendleton Art Center Cincinnati from 5-9pm. I’m at studio 400.
Hope to see you soon!
