I made a new Feed specifically for #ceramicglaze posts! There's uh... nothing in it yet, but hopefully some more #ceramics and #pottery people will come along and start posting about their cool glazes!

As someone who uses em dashes semi-regularly, it really annoys me that AI uses it so much to the point that people see em dashes and immediately assume it's AI. I use them because they're somewhere between a paranthetical and a comma, we are not the same!!

Despite growing up atheist, my family would always go to this Easter buffet when I lived in the US. It was always something I looked forward to. Now that I live in NZ with found family, I try to do things with them that carry that tradition on. So I got us this big glorious strawberry cake 💖

Takeaway cup attempt 2 - much better!! Only problem with this one is that I overcompensated on the duct and it will only hold a small flat white, not a large 😅 The clay is Potters Clay Nelson HFW with grog made from a rock I found on the 309 Road in Coromandel. #ceramics #pottery #handmade

My first attempt at a lidless reusable takeaway coffee cup. Too wide! Doesn't fit in my car cup holders, feels awkward to hold. Mouth opening is fine for drinking though so there's that!
Do love the way the tenmoku breaks and changes over the clay body too

Sorry I've been so quiet here bsky friends 💖 I got the Amaco ceramic printing Inks in blue, red and yellow and mixed them and did these little testers. They've just come out of the bisc and then I'm going to clear glaze half of each tile and fire to cone 6.

Experimenting with my #pizza game. This one uses a considerable amount of corn meal in the dough... Probably too much! Not my ideal texture, but still tasty. Toppings are olives and pork sausage.

The painful dance when you have an upset stomach and you can't tell anymore if you are hungry or if you need to puke and so you just lie there and suffer

This is the first thing I saw this morning, so it was a pretty great start to the day

Just did an extra-long sensory deprivation tank float. With how stressed I’ve been about work stuff and… *gestures at the entire world * it was pretty great to just float in a void for an hour and a half. Definitely recommend doing one of you can

Don't sacrifice your authentic self for other people. Especially in these times. That's all I have to say.

The absolute -rage- in my heart when I found out that orange dipshit used Do You Hear The People Sing? as part of his campaign marketing. How absolutely dare you

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's yunomi is a cute little cherry blossom inspired guy I made the other week to use my new glaze with. Love the way the overglaze combos with my pink one! #ceramics #pottery #handmade #ceramicglaze

First post using Flashes! Went to the beach today and had to come home early because the fog started rolling in.

Feel like I'm coming full circle, career-wise. I'm working on some Twine stuff to help my students with glaze and ceramics decision making... back into game dev and SOP writing, like I was doing straight out of undergrad

This is a really interesting bit of new science, especially coming from a #ceramicglaze perspective. Maybe this is why historically we could 'get away with' using lead-glazed ware? www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
Brewing tea removes lead from water
Researchers demonstrated that brewing tea naturally adsorbs heavy metals like lead and cadmium, effectively filtering dangerous contaminants out of drinks. Researchers tested different types of tea, t...

I can't stop staring at this #ceramicglaze test. I made a new layering glaze, Riches and Wonders and this is it over my pink glaze.

Pet peeve for #scifi #horror that I've been encountering in Too Many books: the trauma-hardened lady protag. Something horrible happened in their past! They can't tell anyone about it or else everyone will think they're weak! They have to shove it down and bottle it up, no matter what!

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's mug is another from my Driving Creek residency last year. I'm NZ pottery history, they're is a classical mug shape referred to as chimney pipe mugs - usually a tall mug with a small, lower handle. This was popular amongst the classic 70s and 80s group of potters like Brickell

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's mug is from @hamishpottery.bsky.social that I got while we were both at Nelson Clay Week. I think my favorite parts of it are the subtle wave of the rim line and the blush on the underside of the mug.
