This seems like a good time to introduce myself. I’m a hobby potter living and working on the coast of
#California
. When I’m not potting I rescue sea mammals and do a lot of
#traveling
.

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-

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.

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?

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

?

#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.

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.

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

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.
