Pottery. Just pottery. I have decided to dedicate this account to ceramic arts. If you make pottery and post it, I will do my Benny best to find and follow you.
A floating white with a flake from a thermocouple? I’m not sure what that dark spot it’s doing.

I actually zoomed in on your latest photos to see if you added grooves! I’m happy to hear you didn’t need them.

That is way cool! Does the saucer section detach like in the next generation?

Thank you! Yes, I just have FDM printers. The larger patterns do just fine like this. Good tip on thingiverse, I’ll have to go see what they have there.

And thank you! I’m learning more every day. This is a good tip.

I see, I was impressed with how the pattern carries around the corner. That makes sense

Those seams look so good! How did you do that without affecting the design?

Nice, I have been watching your progress because I want to make rollers in the future too. I appreciate you sharing your trials here with us!

Can you design a roller with a larger diameter? Maybe even just print a 1” wide section? I am wondering if the clay is moving away from your embossed design instead of going into it. Small features on a big diameter might keep them closer to the clay and let the clay drive into them better.

Excellent work! I would have assumed this one thrown in one piece because of the way the form sits. This moon jar definitely has a sense of permanence at this scale.

Thank you for sharing this! I just had to check out other listings to see if this was a one off. Favorite line about a pyrometric cone so far is, “Their durable construction ensures they can withstand repeated use while maintaining their shape and functionality.”

Just found your work on a ceramics feed. I use fusion 360, I have used the method below for flat surfaces. Any grayscale or b/w image should work. I’m not sure if you can wrap it around a cylinder?

I’m really enjoying the way the brown layers on the white. The brown just kinda floats on top at the transition.

Tony Hansen has an article about reduction speckling. Near the end he talks about adding granular manganese to the clay body for a cone 6 speckle effect in oxidation.
