Bisq pile ahead of the queer craft fair next Sunday.
A picture of a cluttered table covered in bisq fired ceramic objects. There are whistles shaped like fruit, bud vases shaped like birds, candlestick holders, and mugs. In the background are various buckets.

Made some ceramic birdies.
Three ceramic sculptures depict various birds on a white pedestal. The leftmost object is a candlestick holder. It has a round, wheel thrown bases and top. The middle is a green sparrow angled down as if in a dive from above. The middle object is a rooster stomping on a trans angel. The rightmost object is another candlestick holder. It depicts a purple sparrow resting on a lemon as if it's an egg.

This u? 🤨
Reference images from adventure time depicting a large pink dragon character with humanoid arms. The creature is reaching up and suckling on a root and is oozing red liquid. To the right of the image are reference notes with a color palette.

Working on some new clay babies. Sparrow lemon candlestick holders and swan mugs.
A grouping of ceramic objects on a gray table with a blurry background. The objects include a variety of mugs and candlestick holders. The mugs have plants on the side and the handle is the neck of a swan. The candlestick holders are made of wheel thrown bases with a variety of birds and lemons stacked on top with a wheel thrown top for the candle. They sit on a drywall board. An in progress shit of the mugs in the previous image. They sit on a wooden board on top of an amaco banding wheel. Two mugs up front have swans built into the body of the mug and the two in the back are unadorned.

Skin rain, drippy flesh. Ceramic cloud precipitating life.
A ceramic sculpture on a mossy stone staircase. The sculpture is made of round bulbous forms resembling a cloud. In the center is a face gazing towards the camera with a neutral expression. Pinks, reds, oranges, and purples run down over the form.

Wacky crazy wild in the clay studio
Person sits in a chair with their tongue out, looking up at the camera. An in-progress ceramic sculpture is just behind them. The scene is situated in a messy basement.

Critter bowls in the pottery studio
Three bowls in a line sitting on foam. Two are right side up and one is upside down. All three have three little feet

The creature grows.
A ceramic sculpture in progress. Limbs grow out of a shapeless mass. The sculpture is in a messy brightly lit studio.

Artifacts from the ceramics studio.

A fortress, a cavern, a painting, and a rash.
A top down image of a square piece of clay on a table surrounded by a wall of clay with supports. The interior of a ceramic sculpture, full of scraps. The interior surface of a plaster mold. The texture is loaded with clay making it more apparent. Ceramic glaze against an arm. The person holding it is wearing a pink shirt and holding it over a blurry background of the floor.

Broken wing of a monarch butterfly, a swirl of molten gold, cracks through the earth.

Magic in the pottery studio.
Close-up of the edge of a ceramic bowl. Oranges reds and browns break into black along edges. Close up of a ceramic bowl. Golden brown swirls are broken by flashes of orange and black. Close up of a ceramic bowl. Craggy texture along the surface makes black lines across a deep brown clay surface.

Loving life in the world of queer ceramic sculpture. I'm looking for more queer models to continue this series if anyone's interested 👉👈
An unfired ceramic sculpture depicting a human bust. The top half of the face, beginning above the nostrils, is replaced with a cloud. The cloud is supported by two buckets, a sponge, and a roll of toilet paper. All of this is on a canvas topped table in front of a white cement wall.
