From the album: Custom Mugs and Commission Concepts
This is a 12oz-14oz. stoneware mug with a piano/keyboard theme. The rim is wheel thrown and re-assembled into a hand-built, slab-constructed base that has been stamped and stretched/altered. Handle is pulled and attached after the rim is in-place and black keys have been cut from a slab and attached/scored & slipped. Interior and rim is glazed with Woo's Blue. Exterior parts are brushed-on Amaco Velvet underglaze sprayed with a couple of light coats of clear. Mug is fired to Cone 10 reduction.© Copyright 2017 - Paul M.

From the album: Custom Mugs and Commission Concepts
This is a 14oz-16oz wheel-thrown, stoneware mug with slab-built (black only) keys attached to a carved/altered keyboard design. The handle idea is NOT original but borrowed/copied/altered from another artist's project. When I find the name, I will certainly give proper attribution. Interior is glazed with Woo's Blue. Exterior details are black and white, brushed-on, Amaco Velvet underglazes with a top coating of clear. This is a concept mug for a commissioned gift project that is currently underway. The basic form and structure may remain the same but the color scheme for the actual project will be altered considerably.© Copyright 2017 - Paul M.

From the album: Custom Mugs and Commission Concepts
These two mugs are a hybrid combination of hand-built and wheel-thrown construction. The rim is the only wheel-thrown piece and is included only because I have never been quite satisfied with my efforts to hand-build rims on mugs. Unique to the stamped-on, tennis net theme are the athletic shoe & tennis ball finials to the pulled handle. The mugs are 14oz-16-oz capacity stoneware, fired Cone 10 reduction. Interior glaze is Woo's Blue. Exterior is clear, sprayed on in two light coats.© Copyright 2017 - Paul M. Chenoweth, Nashville, TN USA - All rights reserved.

This is a concept mug, developed for Nashville's music scene and various associated festivals. The design includes the possibility of a custom name imprint along the top edge of the slab construction. Estimated retail would be around $60.© Copyright 2017 - Paul M.

New pieces do not photograph themselves *sigh*. I'll get right on that...perhaps tomorrow
-
Ah, finally. A stay-cation so I can work in the studio...I hope to see the floor again after 3 days of de-crapinating the space

It's always faster to clean that I think it will be.
Then you'll have a wonderful place to work! -
Decrapinator? Did the Arnold star in that?
-
glazenerd... yes, I believe Arnold came "bah-ck" for that
-
Really dodged a bullet on this latest glaze firing...whatever low fire glaze that was accidentally included was on the interior/rim of a bowl and did little harm (except for a few not-so-interesting drips). Whew!!
-
That moment when the cone 10 glaze firing is well underway, you are cleaning up the glazing table, and suddenly there is an out-of-place container of low-fire glaze sitting in front of you...

how did it turn out? we are all holding our breath
-
It should never be allowed in same building -Its a hard lesson but a true one
-
Mark the low fire with fluorescent paint or something! Mine are on a different shelf, I have to actively go after them.
-
I like the idea of pulling fresh air into the studio, especially when venting a bisque firing...but let's not confuse 'fresh' with 'artic'. #Brrrr
-
Some half-crazed, clay-slinging, glaze spraying, slab-building, old-dude maniac has made a mess in the studio...oh wait.

Ocarinas, Flutes, & Aerophones
Images added to a gallery album owned by ChenowethArts in Browse Member Galleries
Mostly sculptural (but functional) ocarinas. These are built from stoneware, decorated with Amaco Velvet underglazes, lightly covered with a clear glaze, and fired Cone 10 reduction. Each plays a full octave (unless noted otherwise..no pun intended). -

From the album: Ocarinas, Flutes, & Aerophones

Three Living Room Ocarinas
ChenowethArts commented on ChenowethArts's gallery image in Browse Member Galleries
Thanks Joseph! These pretty much stay on the wall. Sometimes a friend/visitor will ask about how they sound and I'll give a demo, but they are still fairly primitive instruments and sound a bit airy. Oddly enough, the first time I showed ocarinas like this in a gallery, a lady walked in and bought 3, saying that she could just envision a time when her grandchildren might sit around in a circle and make music using these instruments. It was also the first time I realized that there might actually be a market for these things -
From the album: Ocarinas, Flutes, & Aerophones
These three instruments represent the experimentation with building, glazing, and firing ocarinas (flutes) over the period of 2013, 2014, and 2015. The shadowbox idea is the direction I plan to take for displays, although the lighting may need some help by a minor adjustment in the box depth. Friends here on the CAC Forum might recognize the "Witch is Dead" themed piece in the middle as a spin-off of a Community Challenge project.© Copyright 2016 - Paul M.

Glazing. Its what happens to people who enjoy making things but then can't always decide what those things should look like once fired

I know how I'm going to glaze something as soon as I texture it, but I still put off glazing till I absolutely have to. I'm definitely a mud potter.
-
I have a stack of bisque in the shop, awaiting glaze. I am having an indecisive moment. or two!
-
I have the same thing going as Roberta12.
-
Love this kind of phone call: "You remember that big mixing bowl you made last year with the texture on it? I want one." *headspin*

And there's no good way of saying "I'm sorry, I don't remember you from Adam."
-
I'll take the "do remember me..." over the "Hey, can I pitch a tent in yore driveway and look over your shoulder for 3 days whiles you makes and fire pottery...you won't even know I'm thar!"
-
I had someone who bought a raku dog figurine call two years after the Saale and ask why I made those (I do have a story and dutifully repeated it.)
-
I'm discovering that airbrushing with underglazes is pretty cool...having the air compressor kick-in at 4am, awakening the wife...not so much

Ooooooo.

I am OK...its just a little cold in the dog house

Maybe the air compressor can keep you warm. í ½í¸‰
