Question for all the #sgraffito people out there, do you clear glaze the outside of your cups? Or do you leave it as raw clay?

I'm going to do some test pieces but I'm curious to know what everyone else does since I'm still new to this surface design

I’m getting better at sgraffito the more I practice! I’ve been waiting to make something that would fit my luna moth sketch and this plate using a GR pottery form was perfect!

One way to ID a turkey vs a black vulture is the underside of the wings. Black vultures have light feathers only on the primary feather tips; turkey vultures have lighter feathers all along the wings + the tail feathers. I thought this would translate nicely with my new venture into sgraffito 😊

New cup shapes. New designs. New techniques. So many new things! Yet the same subject matter, I can’t let go of opossums or moths ☺️

This mug had to go through 3 glaze firings due to the studio kiln having some issues with getting to cone 6 temps, but she came out looking great! Which I am very thankful for cause she was my half of a trade!

Posting some older work from the 2024 holiday making season. The first whale I have painted on pottery!

The nice thing about moving social media platforms is I am finding a lot of awesome potters and ceramicists that I've never seen before!

I’ve been sketching out a lot of new things I want to put on pottery, including some turkey vultures! I tried to post this on IG, but the picture kept looking ridiculously fuzzy so it’s going here instead!

My Amaco underglaze color mixing chart is so close to being done! Inspired by the amazing @caitienorth.bsky.social

I’m honestly not sure how much I am going to post here but I do want to have this set and my favorite people from IG followed just in case I decide to use this more.
