Hulk reacted to Joseph Fireborn for a gallery album, Dreams 2024
Woke up at 3AM, have had this cup in my head since then. Finally sketched it just to get it out of my thoughts.
Top part is unglazed with my black crackle slip, sprayed with wood ash mixture lightly to sheen versus too rough of dry feeling to the lips, but still will be tactile so that you know what you are drinking from.
Inside glaze is a high iron glaze like an oilspot, but slightly oversaturated and crystallized as it cools, sheen but satin not to take or distract the eyes from the eruption of the cylinder.
Bottom half of the cup is a cracking pinholing glaze, sort of like my surface experiments but safe in the hands, tactile but not sharp coning into the surface of the black cylinder.
raw clay foot allowing the pinholes and cracks in the white glaze to match so that it isn't flawless design but purpose.

Hulk reacted to LeeU for a gallery album, LeeU Hidden Mask Series
The Hidden Mask Series (HMS) is about surviving prolonged severe physical/emotional trauma. Specifically C-PTSI; Complex Post Trauma Injury (not "disorder"). Derived from different contextual episodes (i.e. from being an armed robbery hostage to domestic violence to severe mental health conditons to surviving natural disasters etc.) over an extended period of time. The "masks" are primarily "selfies". Intended to at least partially represent some of the journey toward a functional, stable, healing. Here is the link to text about each mask, on my website (blog section ) https://www.leeuceramics.com/single-post/hidden-mask-series-hms

Hulk reacted to Kelly in AK for a gallery album, Anchorage Wild Clay
Local clay from my area. Porous at cone 04, vitreous at 03, slumping and bloating at 02. Glazed on the inside, the exterior is bare clay with terra sigillata (made from the same clay). The darker pieces are reduction cooled. Blacks are from reduced iron, not carbon or smoke.

Hulk reacted to oldlady for a gallery album, ready for museum show, 2018
most of these pots were re-fired to intensify the green glaze color. spraying glaze on bisque is much harder than spraying glaze on greenware. the wide open background is very difficult to cover evenly and without a mark to mar it. so, the need to refire. i am very fortunate, everything came out well this time.
