Some new cups available in the studio.

this second video is after the first glaze firing. I've just applied iron oxide decals. Next up is a decal firing. To be continued...

I'm working my way through the process. This first video is the underglaze stage.

I put the liner glaze on these 60 mugs today. I under glazed them in groups of 10, so there are 6 different color combinations for this batch. Tomorrow I’ll apply the rust/weathering treatment, touch up the metallic glaze on the handles and rims, and load them into a cone 5 glaze firing.

A nice selection of my work will drop tomorrow morning at the Akar Gallery (@clayakar). Check it out :)

Painting underglaze on the last 10 of 60 mugs for this round.

Oh yeah! It’s mugshot Monday!

Started applying underglaze today. This will go on for a while. Painting all the little numbers takes a lot of time.

Assembling mugs today. I “date” them using impressions taken from the back of license plates.

Scenes from a studio Friday.

Taking ya’ll back to 1972.

Almost time to start underglazing. I’ll do one more 20 cup throwing sesh today to bring the batch up to kiln capacity. #pottery #mugs #potter #basementstudio #wisconsinpotter

This is my first post on this platform. I've recently stepped back from a 38-year career in higher education. For the first time in my life as an artist/educator/administrator, I am no longer "slash" anything. I am an artist.
