  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. Received the 2 ft / 600 mm long ceramics tubes from the factory. They are amazing! The thinnest is 2 mm outer diameter and has two 0.25 mm channels for the thermocouple wire. Perfectly straight, if you look straight in the hole you can see the back table.

    Used with type K or type C thermocouple wire to make some temperature sensors for the 2500 deg F to 3500 deg F range

  7. I did an interview with VoyageTampa that went live a couple of days ago. I talk about my journey with clay beginning in 2013 and included some hopeful tidbits for artists beginning their careers including how to access lessons for free and how to build a lasting base of collectors.

    My apologies—the article is ad pop-up city. I use Kagi and it wouldn’t load so I had to view it in a different browser.

  8. Today was a glaze day. These are already glazed & currently in the kiln.

    Fingers crossed!

  9. No, I'm not refusing to believe summer is over, really. In my neck of the woods, the farmers market bounty still screams SUMMER!

    Made a Japanese fusion salad with ripe tomato, peach and corn, with shiso leaves and slivers of ginger, plus good vinegar, EVOO, salt & pepper. Served in a stoneware bowl I made with three glazes in a pinwheel pattern - not that you can see much of it. 😜

  10. Just discovered these two images of potters from Tegelen made in 1928.
    The man with the pipe is made at Pottenbakkerij Gitmans end the other image is made at Pottenbakkerij Weduwe Paar.

  12. I made a gallon of porcelain slip yesterday and today a gallon of terra cotta slip with one pound of kaolin and nine pounds of redart. Lesson learned? Don't touch the wet redart for any reason! The manufacturer's spec sheet says it's messy and oh my God what an understatement! It sure is pretty, though!

  13. A few months ago Claire van Damme a student from @designacademy Eindhoven visited the pottery here in Steyl and she made these pictures. It's always nice to see the pottery from someone elses perspective.

  14. RE: tech.lgbt/@Natasha_Jay/1170260

    As a ceramicist - these are beyond exquisite, and 100% works of art.
    It's the kind of thing that as a maker, you're just...damn. That's on a whole 'nother level.

  15. Herman Melville, writer of the epic novel 'Moby Dick' was born on this day in 1819.
    The book about the chase of a mythical white whale is not just about whaling. The book is also about a multi cultural society and gender equallity, ecology and an energy crisis and a maniacal leader who is blinded by his own madness.

  16. Traditional slipware ceramics from Piadela, Portugal. Made by Lino Macedo and his family.

    Pictures from the beautiful book 'Europäische Töpferkunst' by Anja Nottini.

  18. Here's the model I used for the mold. It's a plastic pencil holder. The shrinkage was over 18%. Also a picture of the mold itself. You can see ghosts of the colored slip trails I splashed around in it before filling it with casting slip. Casting plaster is really an amazing thing!

    4/3 (really the end)

  19. These are so thin that they're translucent at cone 10, which is something I never thought I'd be able to do!

    Now I'm on to the next phase, which involves sprigs and very tiny pieces of glass melted onto various parts of the outside. More news when I have it!

  20. I made press molds from some Czech glass buttons I had laying around and used those to decorate the bottom handle attachments. These are a little blurry, but so are the originals.

  21. A couple years ago I had a vision of a porcelain mug but it was far beyond my skills at the time. At the beginning of this summer I finally felt like it was within my grasp so I started learning the necessary skills. Slipcasting was the most complex but two months in I feel like I'm good enough at that to move to the next phase. Here are a couple of slipcast mugs I finished yesterday as proof of concept. The decoration isn't what I ultimately want, but it's beautiful in itself and I thought I'd share.

  23. This is a six inch cotton doily that I saturated with porcelain slip and draped inside a bowl to shape it. I then fired it as usual and the cotton burned out, leaving an actual porcelain basket.

    Somebody sent me an Instagram showing this technique and I immediately said "no way that could work!" But I was wrong-- it totally worked and it feels like a miracle! I haven't decided whether to glaze it or not.

  24. 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.

  25. A #rainy day today, so I won't be going out on a walk. Fine opportunity to reflect on things I'm grateful for. Among them is this happy little #raindrop; I've re-strung him twice in the years I've worn him, but he still brings a smile to my face.

    Thanks again to @moonrabbit and to her excellent little shop at driftingspirits.art - you're doing great work.

    Stay kind,

  26. A little playtime in the studio.

    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?

  27. Just listed in my Etsy Shop bigdogpots.etsy.com/listing/18

    These don't stay in stock long. Hours of detailed glazing involved in getting these gnomes to POP! Comes with a plug-in light kit.

    They make me happy just to look at them. I hope they bring you joy 😊.

    P.S. kiln opening later today!

  28. 2023 Photo Challenge 149/365
    This was me trying to find new and interesting things to photograph. It was in pretty harsh sunlight and with slight tweaks I think I got it where it was noticeable but not overbearing. @big_head_ceramics on instagram made this. #studioceramics #handbuiltceramics #ceramicsculpture #ceramicsofinstagram #ceramicsculptures #ceramiclife #ceramicist #sgraffito #sgraffitopottery #artforfun #ceramics #glassart #snails #skulls #glazing #handmade #art #2023photochallenge
