Tell me about your best/worst tool mod - these tongs were made from a pair of scissors (not by me) so they are a perfect example of a modified tool. So far they’ve been modified twice and repaired once. 😁🫤

I love mixing in random metal sweepings from the Uni’s metal workshop into porcelain.

Currently unfired, It’ll bisque with a wonderful black speckle but only reveals its true story with glaze.

What will we have? Only silica and heat will tell…

New textures! I’m prepping for a show at the end of Feb so I’m prepping more drinkware, matcha bowls, etc

I've waxed about 7 or 8 vase designs now, as well as a couple of tiny test pieces... But I was really happy to get the first coat of glaze on the clock today!

Tried using imprints on my plant pot water tray dishes again. So satisfying to watch the underglaze fill in the indented creases!

I've been making little pufferfish friends. Small and round is the best shape.

Worked on the lid of the #bakingdish. Now it's just a matter of good drying before the bisque #kiln

The last weekend of the Christmas holidays before the dreaded return to work 😔. I thought I would have a go at throwing a closed form. I’ve got some great glazing ideas for this piece (planning for the many weekend ahead of me). #pottery #ceramic #potterythrowing #art

Got antsy and just went ahead and made a cup with it cause I couldn’t wait.

My first #claysculpture is also a functional #bakingdish. Still working on the lid and the handles, but here'a video of it so far 🐖

A quasiperiodic design built from two shapes: isosceles triangles with 36° - 72° - 72° angles, and isosceles triangles with 36° - 36° - 108° angles. The latter look transparent and you can see a blue sky behind them. The former are pink. These were created by Greg Egan's applet https://www.gregegan.net/APPLETS/31/31.html setting n = 4. This creates tilings are known as “Tübingen triangular tilings”, based on the Aₙ lattice. The n-dimensional lattice Aₙ consists of (n+1)-tuples of integers that sum to zero; it's a lattice in the hyperplane consisting of (n+1)-tuples of real numbers that sum to zero. Taking n = 4 we get the A₄ lattice. Spheres centered at points of this lattice give the densest packing of spheres in 4-dimensional space! For more details see: https://www.gregegan.net/APPLETS/12/deBruijnNotes.html

Happy New Year!

Last year was so bad that I decided that what people need from me most is not more warnings, but a bit of happiness.

Like this design for a stained glass window by @gregegansf.bsky.social, based on a 4-dimensional lattice (see alt text).

You could build it with a few parts!
