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

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!

Making some assumptions that this is 1) not great for kiln elements 2) food safe on exterior of drinking vessel, though not very durable.
28.01.2025 19:18 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Any fellow potters have experience using a soda ash wash in ^6 electric firings (1:3 ash to warm water)? Curious about this vs ^6 glaze, especially over terra sig.

A road in winter
27.01.2025 21:41 — 👍 141 🔁 6 💬 2 📌 0Lots 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.

Love the bowl. & those wad marks are something special!
Really excited to dig in to this!

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
