A fun before and after of a #cone10reduction fired small vase. First layer is Steven Hill matte turquoise, then Anderson Ranch oribe, and the squiggles are Candace Black. I love how these glazes interact. #ceramics #pottery #potterysky #potter #wheelthrown #portland #pdx #portlandpottery

I’ve thrown many platters but I haven’t handbuilt them before now. 🙂

This platter came out of the cone 10 reduction kiln. I am so happy with the glaze combination I’m trying it next on other clay bodies #pottery #ceramics #wheelthrown #functionalpottery #potterysky #reductionfiring #pottersofbluesky #clay #glaze #green #design

And after the glaze firing. I’m pleased; the lines and definition are sharp and the design works well with this speckled clay body.

This guy has been glazed with a white shino glaze with brushed turquoise matte and fired in the cone 10 gas kiln. #pottery #ceramics #potterysky #pottersofbluesky #wheelthrownandaltered #art #abstract #portlandpottery #pdx

I think it is. It’s a nice clay body to work with and doesn’t bloat at cone 6 like some other dark clays. Here’s a “no filter” pic from some stuff I made with it recently

I like posting #wip, both because ceramics — like any act of creating — is imperfect, and to demystify these processes. Here, I’m painting, carving away, and (sometimes) painting again. The pencil marks and uneven surfaces will disappear on the finished pieces. #pottery #ceramics #potterysky #design

I am *hopefully* getting these dynamic abstracts into the cone 10 gas kiln being fired tonight. After pics coming soon, praise be to the kiln gods.

Yes! I did the same. Here are a couple of plates from that sesh (my niece and her friends were in college so got the knack of the transfers pretty quickly)
