Footed. Slipped. Lidded. I love this #jar. I've made a few of these and fired just a few of those few. 😉 They're tricky to make and prone to failures (cracking). A fun part about #pottery is the myriad ways in which to make similar pieces. I have plans to try out a new method the next time around.

This will take a few firings in my small kiln. There’s no way around it, bowls and plates take up a lot of space.

Big bowls in this kiln load. 🤞🏼

Back when I was making plates and plates and plates and plates and… 😅 #pottery

These carved sake cups are some of my most frequently made pieces. Despite their small size, they don't come together super fast. I cut into them, turning the piece slowly to feel out a balance. In the end they're quite thin and feel great to hold. #pottery #sake

Lots more ceramic jars. These are time consuming to make, but I think the result is worth the effort.

These little jars are fun. Super clean form, then lots of controlled texture in the glaze. #ceramicjars

Mugs, because, you know... gotta have mugs! These are made with a sandy clay. I'll added granular ilmenite for some metalic specs (too much for my liking these days) and an American shino style glaze. #mugs #shino

I’ve heard this style of wedging clay (removing all the air pockets and aligning the platelets) referred to as ram’s head wedging. To me it always looks like a chameleon.

Another sipper, this time in a black clay. Flux added again to introduce movement in the glaze. #pottery

For whiskey or kombucha? 🤔💭
