A sculpture on a white background. The sculpture is the head and upper portion of the neck of an owl. It most closely resembles a barn owl. The eyes are dark brown, the beak is gold, the coloration is made using rust red iron.

Very cool! I just ordered Orange-A-Peel the other day because I really liked your mug. I'll post an example once I get around to it.

I'm wearing cheetah print faux fur coat and I am holding my 22 inch tall geometric vase. I'm smiling with my mouth open.

Thank you! I googled LUG and the velvet came up so I was confused. I understand now :)

I really like the raw look of #maycoenglobe over my brown claybody. It has a rougher texture from the grog. I think the clay texture compliments the plant well! Should I do more unglazed englobe and slip work for my plant pots (^04 bisque, ^6).

Thank you. That process is so cool!! I had no idea the underglaze would run if applied to leatherhard clay.

Absolutely gorgeous! Is there a name for the smeary linework glaze technique? I keep seeing it around and can't seem to find it on Google.

Has anyone used WC 606 Speckled Clay from Laguna? I have 2 test trays drying. Would love to see some glaze examples if you have any. I just ordered 2 mayco stroke & coat glazes because I feel like they'd be really cool over a speckled body.

Being nonbinary and gay I also saw this coming. And when I've vocalized it the past year and a half people look at my in disbelief. It breaks my heart. I teach so many wonderful and diverse children. I'm so scared for our collective future. I know we can stick together and fight for everyone.

I'm currently working on a set of 10 marbled ceramic cache pots for the Botany Shop in South Bend. I might make a few that are more spherical.

Truncated cone templates are challenging at first but I think I'm finally getting the hang of them again. The first one is about 10 inches tall. The piece with the red foam is double the size.

Sooo... this happened. Unfortunate, but it is okay. I'll make the piece. Sometimes shit cracks.

Looking forward to see you grow. I teach HS ceramics and I LOVE watching people learn. It's fantastic. You're doing great.

Did you try anything else? I've only used brown bear from Kentucky mudworks and a brown standard clay from my studio. Your test tiles are WILD.

Sweet! Opening a kiln is like opening presents each time. You'll love it.

I've been looking at the porcelain artist #marthagrover 's work and making some altered forms. I really like how this large planter turned out. I'm probably going to use some #amaco #satinmatte glazes for it. Thoughts on color?
