Clay play.
Some lil cat dishes finally done! (Sat on glazing them for a while.)

Finally back in the studio a bit. I’m finding greenware & bisque on my shelves from 3 months ago like some weird time warp happened.

Stole Claire’s photo of this one but it’s also from the gas firing (black slip with 1 layer icy “blue” celadon)

My favorite glaze from the gas firing (oribe with Barb’s green spots) - made this as a cup with finger indents.

Accidental glaze combo in a gas fire batch - but I like it! (1st oil spot, 2nd multi blue, rim Jeff’s red)

3 hour stained glass class. Cutting on a curve is brutal.

When something is pretty bad but you keep it anyway: this wood fired vase. I didn’t make it back to the studio in time to sculpt it & I don’t work in 🔺10 usually/didn’t want the reclaim. I used it as a big test tile. It’s like a log of ceramic with weird blue glaze but I ended up liking it anyway.

Scrap clay buddies. (The black is our new studio black slip with sgraffito & a test tile) #pottery #handbuiltpottery

Finally underglazing these so I can get them on the glaze shelf at @blackhoundwest.bsky.social tomorrow

Getting some dishes going for @projectmeow.bsky.social , hopefully in time for a tabling event in the future. ⏱️🤞

The only item I have ready for bisque firing - using them as a test tile for the new black decorative slip at @blackhoundwest.bsky.social

Still making tiles. In a week the first batch of 50 should be complete and then we can figure out how usable they are/how many we need. 🤞

After making 45+ tiles I used the tiny scraps I had left for a cat bud, surprising not one single person. #handbuiltpottery #pottery

Some tinies that went home with a friend 💕

Test tiles for our kitchen stove backsplash area. 1, 2 and 3 coats of glaze. (Mayco’s Stroke & Coat cottontail confetti)

If this doesn’t crack it will be a bird bath basin. If it does crack I will smash it for mosaic or for the bottom of plant pots for drainage. Glazing is truly a nightmare.

Hand painting between desk flotsam and jetsam.

Crocus!

My table lamp is fully fired - now I just have to wire it. Learned some lessons on glazing & adding charms. ☁️ ☁️ ☁️

I made a bunch of mini mugs for a December holiday market and I forgot about them until now. I want to get back to making some minis again.

Underglaze vs digital mockup. I’m going to leave it unglazed (who am I?) and hope the eyes glow blue & light comes out of some of the spots holes. (It’s a luminary.)
