  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

    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. 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.

  8. Just discovered these two images of potters from Tegelen made in 1928.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  14. It's not just acheologists that put shards together.
    Until the end of the 20th C. the 'Topfflicker' or potmender was a regular tradesman on markets in Central-Europe.
    Pots that were considered precious were put together using glue and clamps or put together with a knittwork of metal wire.

  15. Ochtrup, a pottery centre in the North of NRW, Germany, was famous for its ceramic water whistlle called 'Ochtrupper Nachtigal'.
    The whistlle has become a symbol for the town. Their tiny ceramics museum in the former Eiling pottery is worth a visit. toepfereimuseum.ochtrup.de/

  16. To answer @leighleigh6 Not much research has been done yet on the technique of making these medieval pots.
    But from the pots and shards that I own I can see that instead of turning the feet are pinched out of the botom part of the foot.
    Because of the relative high firing pinched feet, like throwing rings on the outside of the pots make for less touching surface so there's less chance of pots melting together.

  18. It’s been a while. I didn’t create anything in 2025, and I needed that silence. But I’m back in the studio now, hands in clay again, and it feels so good. Preparing for a group show this July and I can’t wait to share more.

    Meet Benthic Garden. 🌊 I didn’t know what the glaze would do, it decided to become an ecosystem. Took her outside, zoomed in, and she was keeping secrets. A garden at the bottom of the sea. Debut this July.

  19. "Garden Visit"
    Teableau for 04/14/26

    Bunnies visit my yards, but not nearly as abundantly as they did before the neighbor next door got an outdoor cat.

    Teableau for 04/12/26

    The design on the dangling heart is called Jenny Wren. The bird on the cream pitcher is a bluebird.

  25. 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?

  26. One day before firing... tomorrow is a hot day for these cups, jugs, bowls, whorls and dishes.
