Best intentions… meet defeat. I fucked up in the first instance and added 20 grams of titanium dioxide instead of whiting. I did try to wrangle about half of it out, but I didn’t have the heart to throw it away, so I mixed it up. I’m guessing it’s going to crawl like crazy #ceramics #pottery #glazes

See my admirably orderly preparation for mixing a new glaze series? So neat, so organized, right? #ceramics #pottery #glazes

I want to share my new favorite pottery tool with you all.

It is a real life porcupine needle! a great tool to get into those hard to reach spots for smoothing and compressing clay, it also has porcupine magic added to it!

PBS News Hour: Descendants of enslaved potter David Drake work to reclaim ancestor’s art. “The descendants David Drake, known as Dave the Potter, have traced their lineage back to the once-enslaved potter and launched an effort to reclaim his work. So far, the family has recovered six pieces of Drake’s highly valued glazed stoneware, and they’re working with museums to bring even more back into […]

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!

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!

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.

To make a long story short, I am forty-two, and for most of my life, I have been interested in the so-called blind trades, both for pleasure and as genuine crafts. These include chair caning, mat making, basketry, broom making, rug weaving, yarn weaving, bookbinding, soap making, pottery, etc. I didn't include brush making because that requires a real workshop and can be dangerous from what I've heard. Likewise, piano tuning takes many years to learn, though i believe there is a school for that. I wrote to many blind schools asking for assistance, guidance, or even some general advice, but none wrote back to me. I contacted a mainstream basket weaver, but although she was nice, she couldn't help me. I found a very good series on broom-making on Youtube, though I must check to see if it's still there. The problem with many videos is that they explain things in a visual way i.e. "look at the diagram", "follow what you see me doing here", or the hosts talk while they're doing an important step that they're not describing, etc. Regardless, I started learning chair caning, but the place was far from my home, and I kept having issues with paratransit, so I had to stop. I have, however, made soap using the melt and pour method several times, and I've worked on both a lap loom (made of cardboard many times), an inkle loom once, and used a potholder kit at least once. I've also taken several pottery classes, but to go beyond air-dry clay or the type that can be baked in a home oven, it's necessary to have a kiln, which is prohibitively expensive.

Having said all of that, has anyone here ever been involved with any of these, or perhaps something I didn't mention? If so, was/is it as a hobby or to sell crafts? Where were you taught and how i.e. all hands-on, or with books, manuals, etc? If you sold/sell them, how did/do you do so i.e. through a workshop or factory, at a traditional flee market or craft fair, online via Etsy or Ebay, or do you have your own site? Would you be able to give me any general tips or advice regarding your craft?

La p’tite sœur est descendue de #Lamèque pour me visiter en #Abitibi. Son amie, qui est potière, l’accompagnait et nous a offert ces magnifiques tasses pour nous remercier de les accueillir.

J’essaie de la convaincre de joindre #mastodon #qlub pour partager ses créations 😉
