Thank you!! I’m a glaze mixer, so I’ve got *options. I have no idea what the texture will look like with glaze, so it’ll be a bit of an experiment no matter what I choose :p. I also have a matte bone-white and jet-black that I don’t have tile pictures of (somehow??)

We love a wonky guy :)

How should I glaze it?

I’m really enjoying throwing these silicate pieces, this one is getting a handle too. I can’t wait to glaze them πŸ’ƒπŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ“ˆ

The camera is closing in on newt’s nose. His ears are tucked back and he is looking at the viewer, and his face looks kinda weird from this angle, sorta like that meme cat that looks like Patrick Stewart

The camera is even closer and centered on newt’s nose. He is now looking off to the side. The image is blurry

Please enjoy the mini-studio my partner @littleguys3d.bsky.social made! It was a little while ago but I adore it regularly. The kiln lights up too :)

It is absolutely a specially-personal preference for me too. I know it when I feel it

Wow, what a nice compliment! I’m not sure I’ve seen this exact design, but it’s inspired by other potter’s work and with the shape language of My Neighbor Totoro in mind! My focus is on functional work, so all of the glazed pieces are dinnerware/dishwasher/microwave safe, including these!

Check out my glazes under a microscope. They’re like a whole landscape, I love it.

Taking pictures and video vs. editing it. I love my boys.

A shot of a big cool jar I made, unloading it from the bisque fire shortly and very excited to see it through. :)

First post on here! Pulled these out of the kiln yesterday and I’m in love. My partner @littleguys3d.bsky.social calls the combo β€œwater on mars” and I love it.
