Had the "exclusive" pyjama party New Years celebration. Drank wine and watched Marco Polo on Netflix, and analyzed for porcelain,and tile work. #claynerd(face palm)

My boyfriend and I had this game we started playing when we got together--we'd go to thrift stores and walk to the section with dishes. He'd point to something and say, "What's that?!" And without skipping a beat, I'd be all like, "Reduction-fired buff stoneware," or "Slip-cast porcelain." He'd laugh so hard and wonder how the heck I could just spit the answers out like that.

I'm trying to find a relatively recent thread where people were talking about adding things to glaze to make it brushable, and things like acrylic medium, glycerine and floetrol were mentioned. Anyone remember which one it

This is one thing, yes
. All my friends and neighbours are wanting to see the new stuff, so I may just have an impromptu open house, and post a few items on etsy. I have a bigger sale Dec 12-14, and I have better hopes for that one.

That's just a rolled bottom with my thumb print 4 times. But it's kinda fun and funky! -

These are lettered because they're a shot I made of rough sketches for a client. I posted them here because someone was curious. But thank you for the offer, Phil. And I am having fun Babs:) -
Fresh mugs with handles, even!

It's from a stencil that I push slip through. No screen to speak of, but I pull the slip over the stencil the same way you'd pull ink over an actual silk screen on to a piece of paper. Then the paper gets applied to a soft pot, because the stencil itself isn't flexible enough. -
Just spent the day spiffing up the website. I'd appreciate any pm's with suggestions or comments. (I know the Facebook link is funky, but it's bedtime)

These are part of a commission for Distress Centre Calgary. They are given as corporate gifts, and read "Everyone is heard". I use a low tech silk screen (a plotter-cut Mylar sheet) to print the lettering onto a piece of newsprint, and gently apply this to the side of the mug. Once the slip is set up, I gently peel the newsprint off and apply the handles. -
