lorielle Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 It seems every potter has their special "thing" that they love to make. What is your favorite item to make out of clay? Why? Post an image to share if you'd like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Its a toss up between bowls and ceramic splash pans-I favor bowls more but after reading certain posts I want to make up a few new splash pans. I have been looking for this green glaze to match these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffCenter Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Great idea, Mark! Can you make a stoneware Griffin Grip, too? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJR Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 o.k. You guys, it's enough already.We all know the joke. It is now long past old. Besides, Mark, that colour is yelloow ochre and not green. Can we please move on.[stifles a yawm]. TJR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 OK its all bowls -I like throwing and trimming them-as well as glazing and firing them. I enjoy using them almost as much. A great bowl is good for so many uses. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Righ now I like throwing orbs..smooth as a baby's butt. Naturally with terra sig. then I can experiment with saggars , foil, Obvara, or dare I say feathers! Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEP Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 My current favorite is a lidded jar, about the size of a sugar jar. Can't get enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denice Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Well I'm still hooked on tile murals but when I need to connect with the inner potter I make a teapot. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJR Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I usually start by making mugs. Sadly, I still have 83 of them sitting in the studio.[see Left at the Altar.[. I like the challenge of making a teapot that pours. They are slower to sell, though. TJR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 bowls, all sizes all shapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzine Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I like to go with good sized mugs, about the size of a small bowl. Like Mark said about bowls, I feel a large mug is so versatile. Good for soup, cereal, ice cream, and a buttload of caffeine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen B Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I love to make large platters, 20" or so. It sets off my imagination to design the large flat space. I spend a long delicious time working on one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy pots Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hi, I love playing with teapot designs, each one different & yes the pouring part counts. Bowls are good too. Joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrgpots Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Native American Flute making is my newest trend. I have a B flat, C, F, and G with three more in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
