  1. 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.

  2. Historic alley in Kaolin, Jiangxi province, China 🇨🇳. Do you know Kaolin clay? That ingredient, necessary to make porcelain, was discovered here. Therefore porcelain "China" originates from here.

  3. These exquisite Qing dynasty mukōzuke dishes, adorned with snowflake motifs and a striking pink glaze, harmonize elegance and functionality. Their unique design invites thoughtful reflection. Who do you think would have enjoyed dining with such art?

  4. I was thinking about this sculpture today.

    Irene tending the wounds of Saint Sebastian, held in York Art Gallery.

    It's by Claire Curneen, whose work has grown increasingly, achingly human since this was made in 2006.
