Making friends in the clay world
Ceramicist (but with a lisp)
Glazed all of these bitches. I mixed one glaze with another (transparent and Pete’s cranberry, transparent and blue) for some of the abstract underglaze pieces— they aren’t fish. The fish I did mix glazes as well, but by layering.
I don’t know how that’ll turn out. Glaze feels like a leap of faith to me, instead of the science it’s supposed to be.
I look at other peoples shelves because they make pottery and it’s beautiful and magical. I also periodically clock the items in lost and found, but that’s because I’m curious to what gets considered lost. Every visit I check each bin of reclaim, I’m curious to what gets considered inadequate.
Shrimp, shrimp, shrimp.
Just a beautiful bowl with unknown processes. Seeing something like this will ask me to make better art, with more experiments.
Fish along the way
If I make 1000 fish and a significant amount break, do they still count towards my total?
Unbroken fish, some needing to be dremmeled. Various glazes I recorded improperly.
Broken or inaccessible fish due to the rod. Same improper glazing notation.
The pots, that right one be ugly af.
Allá prima bitch
Some things out of bisque but significant art of the day was painting allá prima and doing it well.
