The shed is done. I’ll post some more progress pics soon, but imagine a single man, toiling to build a workspace in the scant freetime he can find. This has been my life these 3 weeks hence. #dreams

Oof. Making progress on my potting shed, but it is an effort friends!

Been heads down, and I'm excited to share an update!
I realized handles should be cast separately, always. Clay doesn't like that empty space ;)
I'm working on a new vessel--Here's a render of the handle! It's a modified #cardiod using #bezier functions

Been awhile--I've been really struggling with this cup shape! So I'm taking a break and making some gnomes instead. Might reimagine the cup.

I used a wax resist on the glaze of this casting and got great results. I’m excited to try a red glaze instead! my cup mold needed more work so I decided to take the plunge on a large casting. It’s crazy thin—1/8th of an inch if that.

Reprinting the center mold with 2% draft. here’s hoping this is enough to overcome the vacuum!

I LOVE how this cannon came out—going to be making a lot more of these.

Ideas—like plants—should be constantly growing, and if they’re viable be planted, given support, time, and opportunity.

Cross necklaces came out great.
Let me know if I should make more like this!

Pre-firing pics from the next kiln load
I am excited about the cross necklaces and the tiles. First go at these.

Firing the kiln! Cone 03 is about the top of this kiln’s gauge, but it can get hotter (as my recent melt reminds me)
Coming out of this are the cross necklaces, cannon and whale tiles, and a couple #gnomathy numbered sculptures. The gnomes will be up on the shop, Saturday the 8th!

Teaser pics of the latest mold: my first cup design. I am elated. Will post interior pics and the first casting in about a fortnight.

Tile making results!
A few issues, but nothing some chemistry/ physics can't solve. #slipcasting

New mug coming soon. Not quite sure how I’m going to fire it though as my kiln is too small..
Also, I’m going to try using some clay to seal up this mistake in the mold. Whoops!
