  1. The results - the plain glaze is nice. The added ilmenite needs to be better suspended, and the manganese version is a tad dark. #pottery #ceramics #glaze

    this was my first ever teapot that i made in ceramics in college and gosh do i miss throwing clay

    i love having so many interests in my life; keeps it interesting and i learn a lot (i love learning in case you didn't know)

  3. I do, however actually buy physical books by glaze makers because it is often the only way I can show some concrete appreciation for their immense generosity in sharing their knowledge. #pottery #ceramics #glaze

  4. One of the most fantastic tools I have found online is the Glazy.org calculator that can compare between a successful glaze and one you are trying to reformulate.

    This is very helpful when it comes to adjusting a glaze for local ingredients. #pottery #ceramics #glaze

  5. Today I am doing some glaze experiments using Mary Fox's beautiful Earthenware base glazy.org/recipes/798944

    I have had to do a bit of improvising, changing the feldspar, adding a little silica and iron oxide, etc, and also done some tests with the addition of ilmenite and manganese dioxide.

    But most of all, I want to see how the glaze interacts with a iron oxide stripe on the lips of the cups, both over and under. #pottery #ceramics #glaze

  6. I knew my mug handles were way off, but didn't know how to approach handle design. This fantastic breakdown of aesthetics and function gave me the basic understanding I needed to start refining them, from leverage and torque to friction and pressure: oldforgecreations.co.uk/blog/m

    In the photo, left is before, right is after. It's night and day how they balance when you hold them.

    (They also use the same glaze combo, just different amounts.)

  7. Another nerikomi experiment, this time a lil snek. I colored the porcelain myself -- the yellow is a Mason stain. The green is that same yellow with a touch of cobalt oxide. I'm not sure where the dark spots came from but I'm guessing they're due to tiny lumps of cobalt that I didn't mix in thoroughly. The red eyes are porcelain slip colored with a little bit of Mason stain.

    This piece was inspired by a version of Henry My Son by Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie that I listened to obsessively as a kid. The song is a humourous American reworking of the Child ballad Lord Randall.

  11. Exquisite craftsmanship shines in the Ming Dynasty "Jar with Dragons Pursuing Flaming Jewels." The interplay of dragons and cloud motifs in vibrant colors captivates the eye and tells a story of pursuit and symbolism. What other narratives do you see in art?

    I’ve been nudged into trying forms and ideas I might never have wandered toward on my own, and it’s been a fun kind of stretching.

    Which one are you drawn to?
