#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A ceramic Japanese dragon sitting on a black metal stand in an art gallery. The dragon is very long and its body spirals upwards like a coil. Its head is firmly planted on the ground, with a green jade pearl sitting atop its head between its horns. The dragons body is black with scales carved into its body. Its stomach is bright red. Its horns, teeth, claws, and eyes are bright yellow. Above its eyes are three black spikes protruding upwards. On its chin are five black spikes with the middle spike being the longest. On the sides of its face on its jaw are three black spikes pointing straight back from its head. The dragon has two large bottom canines sticking out from the front of its bottom jaw, with smaller teeth in between them. Its mouth is closed, and further back towards its eyes are two more large canines protruding from its bottom jaw. It has black ears swiveled back, and has a sad, defeated look on its face. The dragons lips are blue-ish grey. On the sides of its nose are two long white whiskers made out of fake fur. It's horns are two-pronged and straight. Along the dragons spine are rounded spiked scales that are the same blue-ish grey color as its lips. Its hands have three claws each. The dragons position shows that it is unable to fly due to the heavy jade pearl atop its head, with its body floating upwards and its head firmly stuck on the ground.
On the metal stand sits a white card with black lettering that reads:

One of two ceramic pieces I made for my senior show art gallery at college. No wire used.
Disturbed Tranquility, 2024.
A ceramic kirin depicted in a fearful, defensive stance.
#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A ceramic kirin sculpture sitting on a black metal stand in an art gallery. The kirin is blue with dark blue dots on each scale. The kirin's stomach is a bright orange color. Its eyes, hooves, teeth, and horns are yellow. Its mouth opens into a snarl, with its tongue slightly pushing out of its mouth. It has 6 sharp canine-like teeth. Flames spew from its front shoulders, flowing upwards and back towards the kirin's back. The kirin has a white beard, mane, and tail made of fake fur. Its beard starts from its chin and grows to the start of its jaw. Its mane starts from the back of its head and stretches all the way down its back. Its tail is long and horse-like. It flows somewhat straight behind the kirin, slightly flowing upwards. The kirin is in a fearful and defensive position. Its head is lowered to the ground with its front right leg stretched forward near its head. Its front left leg is lifted up. Both hind legs are spread apart and slightly bent, the position of its legs causes the kirins body to be lowered to the ground, similar to a scared dog. The kirin's horns are two-pronged, and straight. The kirin's chin has 5 blue spikes, with the one in the middle being the longest. It also has three blue spikes on each side of its face on its cheeks. Its ears are pinned back like a horse's. Its mouth is long and dragon-like.
On the black stand there is a white card with black lettering that reads:

A playful blue komainu I made out of a low-fire red clay! He was one of my favorites 🥹

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A blue ceramic komainu in a playful dog-like position. The red clay body color breaks through its blue coloring in various areas. Its rear is up in the air and its front is lowered to the ground. Its tail swirls as if swaying like a a dog's tail when happy. The komainu sits outside during a sunset on a polished wood surface with a tree in the background.

@trinityembers.bsky.social Oct 3, 2026, 2:05 AM

Another jade-colored komainu!
This one is glazed with PC-45 Dark Green from AMACO.

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A jade-colored ceramic komainu. It is in a guard-like sitting position. Its green coloration varies from light green on its surface, to dark green in between the crevices of the sculpture. It sits outside during a sunset on polished wood. There is a tree in the background. The komainu has a serious scowl on its face.

The back right side of the komainu. Its tail swirls up its back.

A komainu I glazed with the same glaze combination as the Jupiter vase I made. I really love the aged look!!

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A ceramic komainu sitting in a guard-like position. It has a myriad of colors ranging from various browns and reds, to the occasional blue-grey coloring that breaks through in certain areas. It is sitting outside during a sunset on a polished wood surface, there is a tree in the background.

8 ceramic tea pets!! Someone that came to our booth back in July asked if I had any tea pets, and unfortunately I didn't! So I made a bunch!
More to come! They are very fun to make!

A small cup I glazed with only Opal Lustre (Mayco) glaze! I really enjoy this look.

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A hand holding up a small ceramic cup. Near the bottom of the cup are two carved out rings that lead to the cups small foot. The cup is a dull olive color with the edges and crevices being a rich brown color.

The same cup tilted to show its interior, it is the same dull olive color as the exterior.

A vase I glazed to look like the planet Jupiter!
I became too attached to it, so it is only for display purposes at my booths 😅
I really want to make a set of cups like this!!

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

The inside of the ceramic vase. It is a myriad of browns and reds, with the occasional blue/grey color breaking past the others. All of the colors melt together, yet the surface retains a matte finish.

The vase sitting on a kiln lid. A section of the vase has a large reddish brown smudge on it, much like the raging storm on Jupiter's surface known as the Great Red Spot. The vase is a rounded cylindrical shape. Wider at the top than the bottom.

A green heat resistant glove holding the very hot vase. It has just been taken out of the hot kiln.

Crystalline glazes are a bit finicky, but they are so very cool!! Dark Star from the AMACO Cosmos series is my favorite so far! I love the metallic stars.

Temmoku and Lapis Flow pair well together!
Originally going to be a jar, I decided to make it a small vase instead.

A cup glazed with Opal Lustre(Mayco) and Indigo Float(AMACO)! This glaze combination is really nice! A very cloudy sky look!

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A hand holding up a ceramic cup. The cup is a melted mix of indigo and a washed out light blue. Similar to a cloudy blue sky.

The same cup tilted to show the inside. The inside is the same colors and pattern as the exterior.

Smokey Merlot and Midnight Run glazes go extremely well together!!
Definitely using this glaze combination more in the future! Im curious to see it on a red clay body.

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A ceramic cup with 4 rings carved out towards its bottom, starting from the middle. The cup is a foggy purple with a bright light blue melting into its top half. The edges of the cup are a light brown color.

The inside of the cup. The inner rim is the same light blue from the exterior. It quickly melts into the foggy purple on the cups interior. The rim is light brown.

@trinityembers.bsky.social Oct 2, 2026, 10:54 PM

A cup glazed with Ancient Jasper. Its one of my favorite glazes due to how vastly different it can look with different amounts of layers.
I always glaze at least one piece with it when I make a new batch of ceramics!

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A hand holding up a small ceramic cup. The cup has two rings carved out near its bottom half. The cup is a light brown color that trickle and fades into a darker brown near the base. The rim itself is dark brown and runs off into a blue-ish grey color, then fading into the cups light brown body.

The same cup tilted to show its interior. The inside is a rich brown, with the center having a red tint to it.

A cup I glazed with only Lapis Flow. It instantly became one of my favorite glazes, I really like the variation it has over textured surfaces!

I made a 2 piece set of a daruma themed cup and bowl! I made these while I was losing weight as a reminder to keep going! The kanji on the side says 「身体健勝」meaning "Good Health"! I met my weight goal soon after making them, so thank you little daruma!

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A red daruma shaped ceramic cup stacked onto its daruma bowl counterpart. There is a green background, and the daruma are sitting on a black table. The daruma only have one eye filled in, their right eyes. Their faces are white and their bodies are red. Black painted lines imitating facial hair adorn their faces.

The view of the left side of the stacked daruma ceramics. The kanji is visible on this side. It is written on the side of the daruma's faces, and is a gold-yellow color.

The daruma bowl with food and chopsticks inside of it. It is alone in the same setting as before.

A salt cellar I made in the form of the Golden Egg from Splatoon for a commission! It was the first jar form I had ever made. It was really fun to make!

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A hand holding up a bright deep yellow ceramic salt cellar jar. On the top of the jar stretching across the lid is a fish skeleton glazed a metallic gold. Theres is a metallic gold knob in the center of the lid connected to one of the fish ribs. The fish skeleton has an eye painted white with a black dot as a pupil.

The lid is being lifted off the salt cellar revealing its deep orange interior.

A porcelain chicken soap dish!
I'd like to make more breeds of chickens as soap dishes. I really like chickens!

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A hand holding up a white ceramic chicken in the shape of a soap dish. It has an orange beak, black beady eyes, and a red crown and waddles. It has a stubby tail on its backside. Three elevated rows sit inside the dish to keep soap from sitting in water that falls into the soap dish.

The front view of the chicken soap dish. It is staring directly into the camera.

One of the larger pots I've made. I really enjoy how the glazes melted together on this one!

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A ceramic pot sitting on a kiln lid. Its base color is a dim/dull grey-ish blue color, dark purple streaks melt into the base color across the pot. The glaze colors look fog-like or frosty against the surface of the pot.

The inside of the pot. It is grey, similar to the grey in thunder clouds. There are small thin wispy dark grey streaks throughout the inside.

@trinityembers.bsky.social Oct 2, 2026, 9:38 PM

Two of the smallest komainu I have ever made. The one on the left is the smallest I have been able to make them! I ended up keeping him. He currently sits on my desk.

#EmbersCeramics #ceramics #art #handmade #陶芸

A hand holding a red ruler vertically on top of a kiln lid. At the bottom of the ruler sits two very small ceramic komainu. The one on the left of the ruler is a green jade color, it's just under 1inch tall. The one on the right of the ruler is a dark brown color with light brown/goldish highlights on its surface. Inside the crevices of the komainu is a deep blue color. This komainu is about 1 centimeter taller than the other komainu, but is much thicker.

@trinityembers.bsky.social Oct 2, 2026, 4:27 AM

Two smaller komainu made with a low-fire red clay and glazed with LG-46 Leaf Green glaze.
