From the album: Work in Progress
I've seen brush embroidery applied to frosting cookies and cakes, and I've wanted to try it with slip for awhile now. Next time I'm going to use stiffer slip, this was a tad too liquid. But I still like it! -

This one was too tiny to trim with my Giffin so I put it inside another cup. Didn't realize how crooked it was till I took it off, so I decided to go with it and made a topsy turvy cup. The slip trailing reminds me of Ankylosaurus armor. -

Learning to throw off the hump is not so scary when it's low-stakes, mostly-for-fun shot glasses that I plan to use as glaze test cups. No handles so the time investment is minimal and if they come out well I'll sell them at my studio tour. -
Back to my white clay this week, which means a switch to slip trailing instead of carving! Oh so many many dots ...

I've gotten pretty good about cleaning as I go but before I switch I check everything. Still sometimes I get a smear or two. Oh well.
I've been practicing throwing off the hump with little shot glasses, then slip decorating them. I'm about to upload them if you want to see. They're still just green. -
Looking good. I just videod myself throwing off the hump today. It's been a while since I have done it. It really helps to review. Your pots look great.

I was throwing off the hump AND throwing on my friend's raised wheel. I want to try it at home and see if it goes better.

Glazing is one of my favorite parts other than firing.

Three months' worth of work cooling in the bisque kiln right now. I've gotta fire more often and in smaller loads! !

I've been on more of a carving kick lately.

Exciting. Are we going to see more slip work in the gallery soon? I just ordered my super duper extruder based on your recommendation today. And some Flex Grips for my GG. Going to be getting my butt back in gear since my son is back in school now. Can't wait to see your new stuff.

I am going to be glazing a bazillion pieces of bisque and then starting a cycle of white clay, which I slip trail.
Soon! I may even post some YouTube videos. I'm trying to find a really good tripod that I can angle the right way over where I'm working.

Carved Poppy Mug, 18 oz.

Joseph, it's a Scott Creek Super Duper clay gun or something like that. I am really liking it for handles. They're becoming much more consistent. And I like that they have a bit of their own texture. I plan to do an extruder scope soon if you go on periscope. -

Thanks, Mark! I used the larger one yesterday and it was very nice overall! I've recently started using a clay gun for the handles so they feel better in the hand, a little more balanced with the size of the mug. -
Spent 30 minutes this afternoon weighing and wedging clay to throw after my son's bedtime. Only he got sick so instead of throwing clay I dealt with throw up.
