#porcelain — Public Fediverse posts

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!

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.

This one is getting progress.

I like empty spaces, as well as detailed work, so years ago I came up with a term called 'controled chaos', to have lots of small details, but at the same time bounded by a contour.

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)

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!

3/3

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.

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.

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.

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.
