hello!

i'm an agender, autistic, disabled and chronically ill ceramicist with little friends to sell and rent to pay!
(i'm also terrible at self-promotion :eariz_bun_peek:)

my shop is currently OPEN at https://www.driftingspirits.art and will remain open for the next week or so. after that, it'll be closed for some weeks while i try to rest/recover and work on autumn sculptures (autumn!). i'm still waiting for the decision on my disability claim so doing my best to keep going in the meantime.

i ship from france to a lot of places. that includes the US but not most of the EU now, sadly; please contact me for more info and/or see and rage about the EU's new PPWR legislation.

all orders will be shipped within three weeks of purchase. i can't stand up today, so i'll pack them when i can.

thank you for looking or buying or boosting if you can, and i wish you all a lovely day :Blobhaj_Heart_Rainbow:

(and if you'd just like to help with rent but not get a little friend: https://ko-fi.com/moon_bun)

My little neo-Oribeware dishes put to use as banchan plates #Ceramics #pottery

This glaze combo came out super-interesting, if a bit gaudy, but sadly, a fleck of Celadon glaze from someone else’s piece landed right on my little bowl. (It’s that light turquoise speck with brown bumps.)

I kind of like that random piece, looking like a lost iceberg in a sea of molten lava… though this bowl is technically a failure with that and other issues. I’m keeping it for now… 😜

Just did a kintsugi workshop today as birthday gift from my wife. Even though we didn't get to do the entire process ourselves (takes over a month) and didn't use real gold (it's a tin alloy), it was an awesome experience! Hoping to find the time to do a proper course in the future.

On my not so WTF project, the failed glaze that began to look like Oribe ware to me, one has come out of the oven. There's a tiny bit of crawling, but I can rectify that because it needs to go back in with a final coat of food-safe glaze on top.

And, of course, a curious Dora. #Pottery #ceramics

The recipe for Lana's Chun is here at glazy. https://glazy.org/recipes/525549 #pottery #ceramics

Meanwhile, I made up this recipe for Lana's Chun - a beautiful low fire recipe that seems interesting. In the recipe it is tinted with a small amount of copper carbonate, but I split the recipe in half, added the copper to half of it, and a tiny amount of cobalt oxide to the other, just to see what happens.

And also, I made some tiny little bowls with a few different colours of terra sig, to be bisqued, in preparation to see how they go with the glaze I just mixed up.
#Pottery #Ceramics

Continuing on with my WTF experimentation, inspired by Mary Fox's book. I forgot to take a picture of the orange terra sigillata tiny plate once it came out of the kiln after the oxide wash and the borax went onto it. The oxide was was nice... But I was too timid with the borax sprinkles. In any case, onwards. It how has a base transparent glaze applied (the white), and then I interfered with the leftovers of it, and added some stains to the glaze mix, and did shit. #pottery #ceramics

Aproveché de probar stencils con engobes y hacerme un plato más 😅 #ceramics #MastoArt #pottery #ceramica

Volví al taller de cerámica con Gina que es la Argentina mejor Argentina del mundo 😅

Es una maravilla el barro, se me olvida lo gratificante que es hacer algo desde cero. Esta vez usé torno e hice dos platos, uno para cada gato 🥲

A Bronze Age kiln in the Saudi desert made bichrome pottery for over a millennium. New chemical and petrographic work traces its exports to Timna and Tell el-Kheleifeh, and asks if it counts as an early brand.

Mary Heilmann obituary
By Charles Darwent

Visitors to Mary Heilmann’s show at the Whitechapel Gallery in 2016 were offered the novel experience of looking at art while scooting about on wheeled wooden chairs. These, too, turned out to be artworks. One, Sunny Chair for the Whitechapel, had been made by Heilmann for the occasion. Rough-hewn from plywood, backed in nylon webbing and painted bright yellow, it seemed happily untidy; as an object, but also as a type. This was true of all the works in Looking at Pictures, and was intentional.

Creating a brand. Genesis, transformation and diffusion of Qurayyah Painted Ware

"We argue that the combination of technological continuity, visual identity, and wide regional dissemination makes QPW 4 an early example of brand-making in ceramic production."

I have a Shimpo banding wheel. It was about 65 Euros. There are other brands, probably just as good, but do not buy a cheap one online without knowing how solid it is. You need a really heavy one. If you get a cheap one that only spins a few times before stopping, you'll be so frustrated. So when you go down to your pottery supply place to buy the clay, ask to feel the wheels. The good ones will last a lifetime. #pottery #ceramics 7/ https://potterycrafters.com/the-best-banding-wheels/

So what do you need? To begin with, a lot of what you need you can find in your kitchen.
1. Clay - I suggest white earthenware because it's cheap, easy to work with, and easy to recycle.
2. Sponge, string, trimming tools, an old credit card for smoothing. Old pillow case for rolling out. A rolling pin from your kitchen. Used plastic bags.
3. A banding wheel. This is really the only expensive purchase because you want a good, heavy one with really good centrifugal force. #pottery #ceramics 6/

If you are interested in getting into pottery, and find the whole prospect daunting, I heartily suggest hand-building. It is often looked down on by the ceramics community, but that is stupid. Some of the most beautiful ceramic objects in the world are hand-built. It's not that I disdain the electric potters wheel, but my experience with handbuilding gave me so much knowledge and know-how that I would go on to use on a potters wheel. #ceramics #pottery 6/

I still love pinch pots and coil building. It is the technique I use more than any other and most of my work - which you might think is thrown on a potters wheel - is actually made on a banding wheel.

I have the most amount of control. I am not driven by an inexorably turning wheel. I determine the speed, the amount of water, etc. (hand building uses far less clay and far less water). #pottery #ceramics 5/

When I moved onto the #pottery wheel, it was a steep, steep learning curve, and just getting my hands on it once a week meant that my progress was very slow. It's only after almost a year that I feel confident in slamming a ball of clay down on the wheel and knowing I can turn it into a fairly creditable pot. And still tend to throw things too thin for earthenware - which is what I work with. I still leave too much clay at the base. But yes, now, I can absolutely make you a vase. #ceramics 2/

Crystal mountain lava floes, and an all tech planet (or maybe part of a dyson sphere?).

Also been brainstorming how to add rings!
