this came out so lovely I am super happy with it!
this is the first piece I tried out a new wood finish on and I love the color. for those interested I am now using tried and true wood finish (linseed oil / beeswax) it seems to hold up to water better than the cutting board oil I used before!

Yes! I have seen this method work fine without slip but you risk more peeling/worse adhesion without using slip in my experience, though air bubbles are easier to squeeze out without slip :3

Definitely bisque fire in between!! :3

Yesss I have a hoard of a bunch of different sponges for glazing. I love the natural sponges for more rough texture and makeup sponges are perfect when you want super clean fine gradients!!

Wiping underglaze wash off the bison pipe! 🔥 finished photos soon 👀

Luke 🐾 @nevesceramics.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you!! Hell yeah go for it!! It's really fun and a nice way for me to play with illustrating And clay at the same time :3

Luke 🐾 @nevesceramics.bsky.social · 1d

This time I just used a black underglaze wash over the initial painting of browns!! But at cone 6 I bet that an iron oxide wash would look very similar? I applied the brown underglazes in layers from dark to light with a sponge too to make things have a smoother color gradient :3

I'm having so much fun laying beads of metal over @marandart.bsky.social's sketches!
Seriously, new favorite art technique unlocked, it feels so good to make these!

I sprang on getting some really nice linseed oil + beeswax wood finish for woodburns and it's also food safe!! Itching to use it on the boards I'm making

If buying a cutting/charcuterie board from me, would y'all prefer it to be oiled/sealed and ready for use or just the raw wood? I'm not sure if folks have a preference
