Thank you! My original plan was for the top to sit flat but I tested my slab before it was totally dry and liked how it curved in. I love how things iterate!

Sure can! They’re meant to be vases for live or dried flowers alike. Glazed inside. Technically food safe if there’s something someone wants to eat out of them. 🤣

Oooh yours is super cool too! Love the straw concept for making texture!
Nope, no raku for me. It’s all electric oxidation. The finish is all in the way I apply slips, rocks, and other aggregates to the surface. I love soda/wood but don’t have access so I’ve been testing ways to get a similar feel.

Go in the off season! October or April-ish. Things aren’t totally blocked off by snow but it’s also not really green and in bloom, so it reminds you of the surface of the moon.

Sometimes the wire does force a separation between the tail and the clay, but most of the time the amount of clay is small enough that it makes no difference with the shrinkage.

Pig tails are tough in the kiln. Nichrome wire inside the tail helps. It also looks cute if you use Nichrome for the tail without any clay, too.

Thank you! That’s how I feel about the Icelandic terrain, which is a huge part of my inspiration.

That sounds amazing!!! I just posted the two pieces I bought in a new post. We also have to find the person who bought this one so that I can at least have some matcha in it once. communityartscenter.org/product/purp...

Ok so not kidding - I was there today, and I saw that teabowl, wanted it, saw that it was sold, and turned to my husband and said I wonder if I could fight whoever bought this for rights to it. Then I came on here to circle back with you that I went and it was amazing and I see who the culprit was!
