I have a dedicated firing program just for this clay, because I love it too much to stop using it.

Freshly trimmed. This is a vase I threw for my mom, and there's a video about it in the works...

Apparently, I decided a regular pumpkin wasn’t enough… so I made one out of clay. 😂🎃
Now for the carving, details, and hoping it turns out the way I pictured it!

I still have no idea what happened here 🥲
One minute I had a cute little spotted dog, and the next… he was losing his spots right where the sun doesn’t shine.
Every little piece that fell off broke my heart a little more 😭💔
What do you think happened#ceramic #ceramicart #potteryprocess #pottery

I've been revisiting some of my very first cup designs, this time with a straighter shape.

I threw and trimmed them mostly by feel, without much measuring, which made for a set of cups that are similar but never quite identical.

And how it got there, from carved clay to bisque to glaze.

#potteryprocess #carvedceramicsTan bisque-fired vase with a rough textured surface and a carved wing-shaped panel on the lower left.

This must have been my first vessel where I had to stand up to be able to throw it and reach all the way to the bottom.

Sunbathing before the kiln.

Sometimes I like to make sure certain pieces are fully "bone dry" before firing, and the easiest way is often to just let them bask in the sun for a while.
