I don't know if this is common, but I sat down at the pottery wheel today, and suddenly I knew how to throw pots.

It was like some amazing ceiling I crashed through #pottery #ceramics

After I left this exhibit, everything else looked gray by comparison.

A friend asked me to make her flower-shaped bird/bee baths perched on garden stakes. I think the prototype turned out pretty nice. (photos attached)

Close-up view of a flower-shaped bird/bee bath perched on a brass garden stake, surrounded by tomato plants. Inside glaze: Cerberus Oil Spot, then streaks of Running Hot Chowder, covered with two coats of Candy Apple Red. Outside glaze: four coats of Candy Apple Red.

Hot out of the kiln: my latest experiment combining a crocheted round thing with ceramic slip. I feel that I'm getting closer.

Photos show: 1) the crocheted round thing (cotton yarn); 2) freshly soaked in slip and placed in the slump mold; 3) after glazing with Korean Celadon, right side up; 4) after glazing with Korean Celadon, upside down.

This needs a foot. I'll do that in the next experiment.

Crocheted-ceramic bowl dipped once in Korean Celadon glaze, positioned upside-down. It shows off the texture of the crocheted fabric and crinkled paper towels nicely.

The crocheted round thing was soaked in B-Mix slip for about an hour before shaking off the excess slip and placing it in a slump mold lined with paper towels. The towels soaked up some of the excess moisture from the slip. [Note: the slump mold was a failed bowl that I made and repurposed.]
A badly crocheted round thing made from royal blue colored cotton yarn. It is a bit wider than 10 inches in diameter, as shown by the tape measure lying across it.

Back in my happy place. #clay #PotteryWheel #pottery #ceramics
A freshly wheel-thrown vase on the potter’s wheel. The clay is light brown and has a soft sheen of wetness. It is round with a wide, flared neck. Blurred in the background: a shelf, a small kiln, a sink with a window above it.
