The plastic cup!! Comes in handy in the studio as I sometimes lose the round of the rim after attaching the handle. Also useful to push against when the rim is just a bit too wet. The little things … I could probably play with it all day. #ceramics #pottery #tools #useful #mugshot #handmademug

#blueskyartshow theme is #monochrome. Theme could also be #delicious. I baked this about 2 weeks ago. I need to wake up my #sourdough and get some more loaves going.

Round loaf of homemade sourdough bread with 3 long slits on top and rings of pale yellow. It’s sitting on a cutting board that is the same golden brown.

Day 13 #20pots20days
One of my all time favorites- and I still won’t sell it! Made with minimally processed wild clay taken straight out of my son’s yard. It’s a mustard yellow at bisque and then a beautiful red. #wildclay #ceramics #pottery #oftheearth

A rustic shallow bowl in a beautiful blue going to green then brown at the edges. Occlusions are visible as it is wild clay.

This is a first attempt at bespoke decals. Used a matte glaze - I’ll be trying this again on a gloss.

I didn’t love this bowl originally, so I added a different glaze and refired.
I love the way the glazes played together - not coexisting but each looking to make sure it’s heard. Unfortunately it also made the bowl not so functional. Such is pottery, amiright?
