My first student art show! Had a great time showing the pieces I made from my intermediate wheel class and being with friends and family. #pottery #ceramics #art

Another batch of #pottery out of the kiln! This time a mug, a pitcher, and a bowl. I was hoping for the mug to be a bit pinker and the bowl to be a bit more amber and green/blue, but I’m overall pretty pleased with how they turned out. The bowl’s glazes will need some more troubleshooting, though.
A mug with floral sprigs on the body and handle glazed in a mix of studio pink and clear. A small pitcher glazed in a mix of studio green and white. A bowl glazed with 2x coats of Amaco’s Textured Amber Brown and then 2x coats of Amaco’s Ironstone.

First load of pieces from my intermediate pottery class out of the kiln! Decided to try out the studio’s glazes rather than use my own brush-on glazes for most of the pieces, and the results were interesting! #pottery #ceramics

The pitcher handles have been handled! Now it’s on to the bisque firing when they dry out enough. #pottery #ceramics

An assortment of bisqueware and greenware made in my pottery class! Several vases, a closed form with a pocked texture, and two pitchers (currently without handles). #pottery #ceramics

Some green and bisqueware from my intermediate #pottery class! We’ve been focusing on rims and feet and planning when pulling walls—knowing what you want the end result to be and setting that shape in the first few pulls. Much more thought than I’ve put into it than before! #ceramics

So happy to be back in the studio now that our move is done. First thing I did after getting settled was sign up for an intermediate class at a local studio. I clearly have my priorities straight. 😂 #pottery #ceramics

Last batch of glazed ware out of the kiln before a little hiatus from pottery as we move! Here’s a bowl and soup mug both glazed in Mayco’s Stoned Denim. #pottery #ceramics

Some bowls I got back from the kiln yesterday! I’m especially loving the black and blue one. I was hoping for something a bit more dramatic from Chun Plum on the white one, but live and learn 🤷🏼‍♂️ #pottery #ceramics

A summery butterfly mug! 🦋 White stoneware, an assortment of underglazes, and a zinc-free clear glaze over it all. #ceramics #pottery

A baby planter and mug back from the kiln. The planter was a glaze test with Amaco’s Palladium that a friend gave me for my birthday and the mug an attempt to see how Amaco Obsidian and Mayco Green Tea played together. Not totally loving the mug results but good knowledge to have! #pottery #ceramics

A few bud vases back from the kiln! Pictures truly do not do this glaze, its mirror sheen, and its crystals justice. I know Amaco’s Cosmos glazes can be finicky, but I have never had anything but really cool results once I got the hang of how to use them. #pottery #ceramics #Amaco #budvases

A matching teacup and saucer that I got back from the kiln recently! These are glazed with two coats of #Mayco Tiger’s Eye and then another two coats of Mayco Green Tea over that. I really love the flowing green and the brown breaks over texture! #pottery #ceramics #teacup

Some glazed work back from the kiln! A lopsided vase used as a test for glaze (love how the glaze looks but troubleshooting the pin-holing going forward!) and a funky little spittoon-like vessel that the bff wants to use for dipping sauces. 😂 #pottery #ceramics

Did some underglazing on two mugs today. 🌼🦋 #pottery #ceramics
2 greenware mugs, both underglazed: one with a white and yellow daisy the other with simple multicolored butterflies and grass

Sculpted red-winged blackbird on the mug handle, carved and painted cattails, and a painted pond in the mug. Had a lot of fun doing this one, and I think it turned out pretty well for a beginner! Was inspired by the amazing environmental work of @kelseyceramics.bsky.social #pottery #nature #ceramics

A day at the #pottery studio: trimmed a bowl, attached a handle to a mug (it looks like a butterfly wing!), and threw two small bud vases. #ceramics

A mug with a handle inspired by Scandinavian dreki longships (the ships with the dragon heads!). This was my first time doing sculpting, and I’d love to revisit the idea again. Glazed with Chun Plum and Ironstone outside, just Chun Plum inside to give the dragon a belly of fire! #pottery #viking

Another experiment with Amaco’s Dark Star on a small textured planter. I’m really loving the dark metallic oil slick sheen to it. #pottery #ceramics
