#pottery #newjersey #nj #clay

Large clay cubes and a pile of clay chunk dry on boards on the front porch.

Tiny chunks of clay lay submerged in a pink bucket with a hammer laid across the rim.

A slagged down pile of clay lays ontop of a plaster bat in front of a heater.

Two round clay sculptures begin to take shape on a work table.

It’s clay reclaim day in my tiny apartment studio. First I’m drying out old blocks of clay on the front stoop, then hammering the dried clay into chunks to slag down in a bucket. Then the clay is dried on plaster bats. When it feels right, I wedge the slop back into clay and make something from it.

Fellow New Jerseyans! Next Thursday, in Keyport, NJ, is the very first Collective Creativity. An Open Mic event featuring the musical talents of Renee Maskin. I will be the featured artist, bringing along some pottery and my carnivorous plant babies for sale!

Here are my test tiles for a local Jersey wild clay that I mixed with porcelain. From left to right, we have cone 05 ox, cone 6 ox, cone 10 ox, cone 10 red, cone 10 red w/ clear glaze, and cone 10 “ fake woodfire” featuring a shino dipped in too much wood ash. I’m underwhelmed by it 😕

Light brown otter sculpture sits amongst various thrown pottery vessels inside a kiln.

A little black underglaze applied, and into the bisque kiln he goes!

Oftentimes I start with pinch pots but I’m starting to like building solid. Gives me a little more freedom when deciding gesture.

It doesn’t need to be hollowed out. But! It would then be imperative that the piece is fully dried before firing. Despite being built as a solid sculpture, I did cut this guy in half and hollow him out, mainly because I didn’t want him to be a paper weight 😂

A hand holds a lump of brown clay carved into the shape of a grumpy french bulldog.

He’s so grumpy!

Love this artists work. Makes me think of manga

Brown fluffy dog lays in fresh snow, looking up at the camera with a small fluff of snow on the tip of her snoot.

Maisy in the snow 🤍
