From the album: Work in Progress
This is a special pie plate made with two tones of casting slip. I then decorated it with leaves and swirling vines in slip and sgraffito carving on the inside.© Copyright Giselle Massey 2015

To date this is the most I've ever thrown in one session. A full half box of clay and ohhh were my hands ever sore the next day.© Copyright Giselle Massey 2015

This was a mug body that got way too thin and started to ripple, so I went with it. I really like the result and plan to make something like this again only on purpose this time.© Copyright Giselle Massey 2015

I'm dying to get back in the studio after two weeks sick. I have glazing, throwing, recycling, and lots and lots of cleaning to do.

I'd prescribe a healthy dose of clay work as the best therapy...welcome back!

My first successful one-piece flowerpot with attached saucer! Carved with wildflowers and will be glazed in bright, beautiful colors.© Copyright Giselle Massey 2015

I think that's probably a kind of mold. I pour vinegar into my reclaim clay and it helps keep the growth of mold, etc. down. -

Moroccan platters, slip cast stoneware
GiselleNo5 commented on GiselleNo5's gallery image in Browse Member Galleries
I love slip trailing. I need better lighting in my studio though because I can only do this kind of work with perfect lighting. -
I spent my happy Saturday carving, slip casting, and doing mishima on some little stacking prep bowls. Not enough hours in the day for me, so I ended up putting half my things back into their bins to stay damp for another day.
-
Very cool! I love your surface texture! -
I have some laser cut snowflakes from Michaels', they make really nice stamps. -
If you make this again, try putting it into a plastic lidded container to dry slowly. Helps prevent cracking. Also sometimes with slab items I sandwich them between two pieces of drywall. They dry more slowly and are less likely to warp. I've had so many things crack. It's getting better, though! -
Wow, I can't believe you carved that ... thought you must have pressed a real leaf into the clay. Lovely!! -
I really love this carving, Judy. Beautiful. -
Ahhh yes ... glaze combos. I had an unexpected one the other day. On their own, fine. Together, so thick you couldn't see any surface texture. Probably an hour of slip trailing hidden under there. -
Thank you! These are really fun. -
On my way out of the studio tonight I suddenly had a brilliant idea of a way to move things around, have more storage AND more floor space! I measured and everything would fit so of course I started heaving around filing cabinets and bookcases at 12 am. I neglected to move my shelf of drying pottery first and with a huge crash something fell straight on the top shelf, breaking a mug I can make again and a dinosaur piggy bank for my son that has taken me hours to make.

and one for whatever. They're also about 12 inches deep and I can actually keep them in front of my wall shelves and just swing them out (carefully) like a huge door when I need to get at something stored on the wall shelves (I will only store things I don't use very often). Plus I can move them to wherever I'm working or loading the kiln.
-
I know you cannot ever have too much storage and especially in a pottery studio you MUST have empty shelves for your current work.
-
I have crashed several pieces moving shelves around. They were usually out of view and had been sitting around for a while. I figured they will come out better the next time.

From the album: Wheel Thrown Work, 2015
The holder on the left was done all in white clay and slip. The mountain design was washed with iron oxide and received only one coat of the glaze I used on the rest of the piece. The holder on the right has mountains painted on in a Hawaiian Red slip, and otherwise received the same glaze and treatment. I like them both. I was hoping to find an alternative to the iron oxide wash, which can be a mess.© Copyright Giselle Massey 2015, all rights reserved

From the album: Wheel Thrown Work, 2015
This was my first attempt at "production" (making three of the same size and shape). There is some variation but they turned out clearly a matching set! I was quite pleased. The inside was painted with a creamy yellow engobe before bisque firing, and the outside was decorated with the same engobe and coated with clear before the final firing. I wanted to see if the engobe would end up different colors but it didn't change a bit.© Copyright Giselle Massey 2015, all rights reserved
