  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

    The man with the pipe is made at Pottenbakkerij Gitmans end the other image is made at Pottenbakkerij Weduwe Paar.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
