How do I go from round to rectangular? Slowly! This is at 10x speed. Handmade things take time 🩵 -alt text is important and can be found in the first comment- #McCannStudios #Pottery #ProcessVideo

Prototyping a new shape is messy work! #McCannStudios #Pottery #Casserole

It’s the time of year where we try our new toys and tools! What has been added to your collection recently? *alt text is important, and is available in the first comment* #McCannStudios #Pottery

The egg trays turned out pretty well! I finally got some pictures with them all together.

Do other potters do this? Sneak a quick picture of the top of your cooling kiln? #McCannStudios #Pottery #Anticipation

They can’t all be keepers! *alt text is important, and is available in the first comment* #McCannStudios #Pottery #Smash #ASMR

I think this one is going to be fun & maybe a keeper? Only time will tell! *alt text is important, and is available in the first comment* #McCannStudios #Pottery #Timelapse

This is the blue vase from the timelapse video, still. I’m particularly pleased with the crackle pattern on this one, and will be trying to work out what causes various effects. #McCannStudios #Pottery #Crackle

A quick timelapse of a vase with sodium silicate crackles. This vase has some fierce stretch marks! *alt text is important, and is available in the first comment* #McCannStudios #Pottery #WheelThrownPottery

For a long time I’ve wanted to try a pottery technique where you use sodium silicate to create a crackle effect on your pot. I finally tried it today! What do you think? #McCannStudios #Pottery

Finally getting a bisque load fired! It’s been too long #McCannStudios #Pottery

Works in progress, I think cleaning up the holes takes more time than making the bowls! #McCannStudios #Pottery #BerryBowl #WIP

Working on an idea to make a pond themed egg tray. In case they’re duck eggs. 🦆 #McCannStudios #Pottery #Quackers

I’m finally getting quicker at the egg trays. (Not this quick, but you get the idea) *Alt text is important and is available in the first comment* #McCannStudios #Pottery #ProcessVideo #EggTray #EggCarton

Why are smaller versions of things always cuter? #McCannStudios #Pottery #HalfDozen #WIP #ClaySky

What does evolution look like in my clay? These are, from left to right, prototype, attempt, overconfident attempt, okay let’s try to solve some challenges, and the most recent iteration. #McCannStudios #Clay #WIP #BehindTheScenes #HandbuiltPottery #ArtWork

Feeling cute, might crack later #McCannStudios #Pottery #Eggs #Crochet

Lately I’ve been learning to make handbuilt butter dishes using a pattern. It’s a slow but satisfying process. #McCannStudios #Pottery #Clay #Crochet

These were a surprise for a person who has been a big supporter of my #Pottery habit #McCannStudios #Blates #WheelThrownPottery #Art #🐝

My #MayFlowers are looking nice 😊 #McCannStudios #Pottery #Clay #HandbuiltPottery #FunctionalArt #ArtSky

I'm a 🦉 Epic Wise Owl Artist! Position of arrival: #27,207,729 📎 skyzoo.blue/stats/mccann... What about 🫵 ? 🐾 !? Well this is fun :)

#Silver is a fun glaze effect, but tricky to photograph (or video) without catching your own reflection! *Alt text is important and is available in the first comment* #McCannStudios #Pottery #AColorADaypril

Splashes of #Coral are part of the merriment in this drippy bowl (inspired by Caleb Zouhary!) #McCannStudios #Pottery #Clay #AColorADaypril #MondayFunday

#MintGreen is the perfect accompaniment to these tulip blates. #McCannStudios #Pottery #AColorADaypril #🌷 #WheelThrownPottery

#Orange and #Maroon dishes for a commission for a high schooler heading off to a particular college. #McCannStudios #Pottery #AColorADaypril #ConGradulations

I’m definitely not a brand shill, but #Turquoise is good timing, I just pulled this little vase from the kiln. Who else glazed one of these at #NCECA? #McCannStudios #AColorADaypril #Pottery #IGlazedWithAmaco

My very favorite #Gray is the #Grey of wet clay. So much potential just waiting #McCannStudios #Pottery #AColorADaypril #Clay

#Black is always a solid choice for a cauldron mug. In this case glittery black, and black underglaze on the feet to complete the outfit. #McCannStudios #Pottery #AColorADaypril

Apologies for the tardiness! Here’s our list for the month! A color a day every day in April. I’ll try and get us a more official graphic made soon. Welcome to #acoloradAyPRIL

I think it’s possible that potters are a little extra partial to #Brown The color of so many beautiful clay bodies just calls to us. I had to show it off by leaving lots of this little vase unglazed. #McCannStudios #Pottery #AColorADaypril #NakedClay

This glaze turned out even more #Pink than I was expecting! #McCannStudios #Pottery #AColorADaypril #HandbuiltPottery

My #Purple for #AColorADaypril is found on this very first berry bowl I’ve ever made. #McCannStudios #Pottery #Blueberry

Delicate translucent #Blue is another way to highlight the #Crochet impressions in my blates this spring. #McCannStudios #AColorADaypril #Pottery

These #Green crochet patterned blates are part of my new collection this spring. #McCannStudios #AColorADaypril #Pottery #Crochet

Adding a wheel thrown foot to a handbuilt platter helps to keep it from warping, and will also allow me to glaze the underside. #McCannStudios #Pottery #BehindTheScenes

How fitting that #Connect comes at the end of #NCECA where ceramic makers of all stripes joined to learn from and celebrate one another. #McCannStudios #MakersMARTch #Pottery #MugShotMonday

Left #NCECA early this morning to drive west and hopefully beat some snow over the mountains, but I did take a quick selfie at the Bonneville salt flats. They look so different in overcast lighting! #McCannStudios #RoadTrip #CaliforniaOrBust

#ClayBuddies it was so awesome to see you! I won the pottery lottery at the exchange tonight thanks to @seacoastceramics.bsky.social, Alisha Haven Art, and a currently unknown spoon maker. Thank you! #McCannStudios #NCECA #Pottery

Already had to unload my pile of treasures from this morning back in my room. This is the best sort of shopping! #McCannStudios #NCECA #Swag

We made it! #McCannStudios #Pottery #MermaidMug #NCECA #NCECA2025

Need a mermug in your life? Get to the #NCECA cup sale this coming week! This mug will be one among hundreds. #McCannStudios #Pottery #RoadTrip #Art #NCECA2025 #HandbuiltPottery #Mermaid #Maker

I can use pencil to #Draw designs on bisqueware, and it will burn away in the kiln. #McCannStudios #Pottery #Sketch #Pencil #MakersMARTch

How is this #Fire you may wonder? These are pictures of the inside of my kiln. The dark lines are electric heating elements. When I turn it on and “fire” it will heat to temperatures over 2000°F. #🔥 #McCannStudios #Pottery #MakersMARTch #HotKilns

Dish of the day, fresh from the kiln! #McCannStudios #Pottery #NewWork #PotterySky #Crochet

I’m not saying it’s very practical to #Sculpt fancy tails on your mugs, but it’s pretty fun 🙃 #McCannStudios #Pottery #MakersMARTch #HandbuiltPottery
