Oki here is some finished work. I got 3 things out of this glaze firing because all of my work is in the kiln I just loaded so I’m gonna get way more and also all of my giant pieces back next Tuesday :) but look at this mug the glaze dripped down so beautifully omg
Prepping for east bay open studios!! This weekend Dec 6th and 7th and next weekend Dec 13th and 14th artists from all over the east bay are opening their studios and letting folks peek in at their work and process!! I’ll be showing with @ace_makerspace my beloved, at 6050 Lowell St and showing a bunch of ceramics made at @laneycollegeart come see me and say hi!! @eastbayopenartstudios
Here’s my second mason stain mug experiment! Did a satin white on this one and a matte turquoise on the other. I loooove the Satin white on this porcelain, practically no carbon trapping at all, and no iron speckles! It’s so pretty with the sunset colors! Do you like this one better or the matte turquoise? I’ve gotten wildly disparate opinions from folks so I’m glad I made both!
Starting to get some of my mason stain experiments back from the kiln. This is Coleman porcelain with essentially straight mason stain painted on, I’m trying to get a more intense color than you can really get with slip painting, and I want the color to really feel like part of the piece, painted on, then burnished in! I add a bit of water to the finished thrown piece, then sprinkle mason stain powder onto it, then burnish the piece before removing it from the wheel to integrate the color into the piece. It makes trimming difficult so I have to make sure that I’m at a finished piece that needs barely any trimming. Anyway, I’m really happy with how these are starting to come out!
Watch Me Crash And Burn!! Completely dropped a pot then SWOOPED IN with a mega save. Thank god for heat guns am I right?? 5lbs of clay, ended up at roughly 10” tall. #Pottery #soothing #speedrun #clay #ceramics #queerpotter #potter #artist #fineart #mistakes
Back to throwing biiiiiiggg. Get stoked I made a good video of this one and you can see where it COLLAPSED and then I fixed it #ceramics #pottery #queerpotter #potter #clay #soothing
