Custom round porcelain tile with finely detailed sgraffito portrait of a couple framed by delicate white floral motifs. The carved black lines of clay contrast against the white underglaze, creating a striking hand-etched illustration with elegant detailing

Definitely a favorite. Upside down pot with a little succulent friend.

Sculptural upside down planter with bumpy texture and small tentacle at the bottom rim. Planted with a small succulent at the bottom. The planter has a creamed glaze that breaks in brick orange contrast over bumpy texture

I had my first international order on Etsy yesterday and holy smokes shipping prices bite. I do free shipping in US and factor the cost into the listing. So I was thinking of mentioning an international shipping discount in listings to help offset the cost for inter customers. What do you guys do?

Congregation of bisque sculpture pieces. They all survived the initial firing and are now waiting for gutsy decoration muse
#ceramics #pottery #handbuildersofbluesky #handmade #clay #art #potterystudio #sculpture
Four clay sculptures in a bisque state. Large fish with opening along the spine creating a vessel. Rocking horse with rocket shaped fish. A woman statue with hands on her hips and bracelets, the statue does not have legs on the bottom and there is an opening at the breast levels that turns it into a vessel. Small pommel horse figuring that is somewhere in-between of being an animal and gym equipment

On the left finished dig-in-composter in three parts. On right dovecotes of Alexandria, inspirational image for the shape.. but also picking up some Dalek vibes😄
#ceramics #pottery #handbuildersofbluesky #handmade #clay #art #potterystudio #blueskynightmarket #composter
Finished composter, on the right will be buried in soil with two sections on the left stacked on top. The top most section have stick like handled protruding around the perimeter. All sections have holes for ventilation and directly mingling with the soil Inspiration image of dovecotes in Egypt. Three vertical structures with holes and sticks protruding near some of the holes

Starting a new big boy, this will be a composter with a bottom section dug into the soil. It will have three sections and this is the middle par
#ceramics #pottery #handbuildersofbluesky #handmade #clay #art #potterystudio t
Composter in progress with rough sketch for scale. Middle section Almost finished middle section of the composter. Wet rags at the top will prevent it from drying overnight. This way I'll be able to make a gallery to hold the lid another day

What is your word for when you open the kiln and everything is intact?
Mine is "kilning it!!"

My personal time with clay has been limited in past month. Between the kid spending a month at home and the kick off of clay classes - my studio transformed into a staging area. But alas kiln is loaded, studio cleaned up and wood tools oiled #ceramics #handbuildersofbluesky #clay #art #potterystudio

A handcrafted ceramic vessel with a tall, tapered body and wide, flat handles extending horizontally from both sides. The surface features a rich, earthy palette with deep reddish-brown tones and vertical streaks of olive green glaze. The vessel has a wide cylindrical neck with a mottled brown glaze, giving it a rustic and sculptural appearance. It sits on a light wooden surface against a white brick wall backdrop.

These sculptures have been rather spontaneous and come from very deeply personal space.. triggering all sorts of feelings in the process

Alright me fellow mud wrestlers, this is paper clay fired to cone 6 (and it can go to 10). Bisque was straight but got this awesome lean after glaze. Feels like I need a wire inside, does anyone have pointers for embedding wire into clay?
#clay #ceramics #kilnfails #kiln #handbuildersofbluesky
Pot with a very long handle. The handle got a lean after glaze firing.
