Yes, we definitely have them. In fact, a Nazi from WW2 received a standing ovation in our House of Commons (like the US Congress) by our Federal government shortly after the start of the Russia-Ukraine war. Canada is tragically not safe from this level of disgrace. I USED to be proud to be Canadian.

I love porcelain for its smooth texture, whiteness and ability to build really thin. The whiteness in particular works so well for staining (colored clay) and as the ideal canvas for decorating. All that said, it is such a diva.

Perfect (or not?) for dieters. So fun!

No doubt it planted a seed, curious what that might grow into

I was thinking that has potential as a sculptural element

Thanks! I think it's a winner!

I have tried this but despite my best efforts, minute warping (porcelain πŸ™„)of the mouth guarantees leakage. So I bought a mini wheel to make tiny bottomless cylinders as openings to join to the slab built bodies. Still not *quite* right...

Awesome sculpture πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Any tips for handbuilders? This looks thrown. Lovely!

Despite the seemingly grumpy face, she's so disarming! Love this cup πŸ˜‰

Salt cellar in progress (greenware)

New form for me. I'm excited about the razor spoon - it has a hollow reservoir handle, so you can scoop up to (maybe?) a tablespoon of salt. Can't wait to finish then test this!

Yes but way cheaper, slightly less smelly and easier to paint on

Yah, peel before bisque :) Might also work as a mask on bisque, I need to try that next

Wow look at this beauty! And is there a drainage notch in the footring under the handle? Love that feature, so kind for the user πŸ‘

Recently started using Mod podge as a masking agent. I had seen someone use it for water etching, and thought it would have to be burnt out in the bisque, but NO, if it's painted on thickly, it will peel right off. Great tool for underglaze painters.

When I look at your pots I like to try to identify the script letter used, sometimes it's tricky, but this one escapes me. Is it a deviation from your usual cursive stencils? Stunning as always.
