Empty Bowls fundraiser is my favorite activity all year because it gives me an excuse to test studio performance of my glazes. Shout out to @ceramicmaterials.bsky.social for the classes and the tools to make these!!!

As a newer potter I’m so beyond excited that the three classes I’m hosting for hand building these cute trinket dishes are SOLD OUT at the studio! I’m floored and SO excited!

P.S. these are PG ones for marketing 🤭🤭

Loving this test clay body. VERY well vitrified and a lovely cream color. Going to explore adding some grog to give it a bit more tooth and maybe some light speckling as well.

Getting clay body samples fired and I’m learning a few things from this @ceramicmaterials.bsky.social class:

1) Porcelain bodies don’t have to suck
2) Stoneware bodies don’t have to be boring
3) Cone 6 Clay body recipes shouldn’t lead to under vitrified wares.

Here’s a matching glaze to match my first post on BluSky!!
