Salt cellar in progress (greenware)

New form for me. I'm excited about the razor spoon - it has a hollow reservoir handle, so you can scoop up to (maybe?) a tablespoon of salt. Can't wait to finish then test this!

Recently started using Mod podge as a masking agent. I had seen someone use it for water etching, and thought it would have to be burnt out in the bisque, but NO, if it's painted on thickly, it will peel right off. Great tool for underglaze painters.

Do you use primer before underglaze?

I know, sounds weird. Someone suggested this experiment as a potential 'cure' for the intermittent adhesion issues I'm having btwn my clay and one particular underglaze. I'm so curious for the results!

My embossed foot mugs take sooo long to build and decorate, so I've decided to make these instead, ok? Your cups-per-day count will likely go waaay up though.

Seriously tho, I'm liking this idea for Christmas ornaments 2025.

You can have feeds that track specific hashtags if clay people would like to start coalescing around anything specific.

I like the idea of feeds centered around things like glaze, process, discussion, etc.

But im also lazy, so I'm just putting this out into the ether for everyone else.

Refire success! Took a second with the crawling glaze flaws, and patched 'em up, it's a first and I'm so surprised how good it looks!

My assumptions were wrong, I'm so happy about that. More fixes on the horizon. Saving pots, one at a time.

I and several other artists have found this chart to be quite handy, so I figured I'd give it it's own post and pin it.

As someone who is currently shooting lots of portrait-orientation Instax Wide (1:1.6 aspect ratio), this makes me happy.
