Saturday morning coffee ft. a soda fired Casey Beck mug.

Happy Friday, all!

This morning’s mug is by Matt Long. That movement! That beautiful carbon trapping! It’s a good one.

lots of play happening in the studio recently.

Took a great webinar with Rhonda Willers yesterday and today I’ve made my first batch of terra sig. Wish me luck siphoning tomorrow! 🤞

Had fun playing with handles today. Going for something a little weightier. These cups will get wood fired in April.

It is a snowy Sunday morning here in Brooklyn. Feels appropriate to start my day with this beautiful @noelbaileyceramics.bsky.social mug.

A lot to love about this Perry Haas mug: the movement in the clay, the cool grays and blues, and that handle!

We’re using @neilcelaniceramics.bsky.social rattle mugs this morning.

I have always been averse to making test tiles. All of my work is a test. I make in small batches and am not especially precious about it. I’d rather get in the practice of making a dozen mugs than testing slips & stains on little tiles. This isn’t efficient but I’m maybe a better potter for it?

A wood-fired mug from @theokidokistudio.bsky.social ‘s Train Kiln. OD just announced their summer workshops (Germantown, NY). A great studio - can’t recommend enough!

Lots of texture and information. Need to figure out surface treatment. Thinking white slip / dyed slip. Still very unsure of a clear ^6 glaze. Terra Sig is an option but a whole new can of worms. Always distracted by form.

Really excited to dig in to this!

Hey, all! Excited to be here!

I am in the studio for a short while today working on some ^6 mugs. This is new territory for me, as I need a way to finish work in between wood firings. Excited to build some color and texture on these mugs. #ceramics #pottery #clay
