I adore how these turned out. I didnt even realize until I lined them up for this photo that the circles look like a setting sun almost

Sometimes the timing just isn't right and the work dries out before I can get to trimming it. Could I just place them all nicely in the bucket and it would break down just fine? Yes, but that's not a nice way to get some small frustration out and it's definitely not as #satisfying

Taping night while watching TV

I love spending time on super detailed pieces but this design is fun to tape

Looks a little crazy but this was my setup for photographing my pieces and my sister's pieces for listing pictures. My board game collection has another use as well!

Haha yeah patience is definitely needed. I have found using a mix of pulling just enough before sticking it down seems to work to keep it from bubbling. Definitely trial and error for sure

The tape is 1/16 of an inch so it bends easily on its own. I just have to make sure I'm not pulling or twisting too much and sticking it down really frequently

Newest design out of the kiln the other day! I am in love with this design and I will for sure be doing it again in the future
What glaze combos would you like to see? I want to do a #70s design with orange or yellow

That's something I need to experiment with in the future. Any underglazes you like more than others?

It really is! I definitely need them but they sure test me haha

Wow that's awesome! I can't imagine the time it took to apply all of the glaze for those. It is the best feeling opening that kiln after glaze firing though

I really love clean designs using tape resists. The more contrast the glaze and the clay has, the better it is. Also, blue glazes of any kind

Glazing pottery is the worst part of the process

I have to paint on my glazes for cone 6 pieces and it takes so long. Who loves the process of glazing?

I love the way these bottles turned out. The way the first one has harsh angles but paired with a really flowy glaze is a perfect contrast. The other I leaned more into the angularity with the glaze application

Since I'm new, I figured I'd show a few of the things I've been making recently. I mainly focus on hand throwing on the wheel

This bowl did not want to be friends

I'm sure it cracked because it was too thick. You can see that with the first crack. Either way it is somewhat satisfying breaking these to recycle back into clay

Hey there, I'm new here and trying this app out. Here's some stuff I was working on the other day. I threw them off the hump and that was the first time I've ever done it. Sadly almost all had cracked bottoms after trimming
