Pottery and Ceramics made in Milwaukee
Back from when I made a very large planter. This was the largest single piece I've ever made in terms of clay weight. Flipping it when trimming was a very intense experience.

I made a series of agateware vases with a few different techniques, using only black&white porcelain. The first one has been requisitioned for our own use at home, and probably won't be making it to another market.

I've been making oil bottles lately, including some agateware ones. These fire to black and red, and the last picture is after a bisque fired. They're not done just yet, but should be glaze fired soon.

Miniature vases I've been making out of scraps of agateware pieces. If you trim bits off during throwing, it's hard to re-use agateware. By making tiny things out of those trimmings, you can preserve the pattern/contrast.

A zebra agateware mug, and the model posing behind. Taken at the Denver zoo.

Believe it or not, I didn't plan to take this picture but like 4 things aligned for me to have the vase on hand at the right moment.

My process for making agateware. Wedging process + throwing.
