It’s always interesting to see what people are working on, a one off pot, a series, pulling handles, working out a new design, glazing, glaze testing.… just a snippet from your day of something in progress. My question would be what’s on your workbench? (pictures would be a welcome bonus!) -
Oh, that's what I couldn't think of! Knew it reminded me of something. I can totally see making these as a learning exercise for new potters but was thinking in terms of selling them. So many customers saying they are looking to downsize or at least not add to what has already filled up their cupboards that a specialized pot would be harder for me to sell. Not a drinker so I don't really get the whiskey cup, does the spiral in the middle start going round and round after a few?
-
Looking at the design of those and couldn't help but wonder what else you could use them for. Thought it somewhat resembles a lemon reamer. If the middle bit was a titch wider at the base you could carve sharp channels into the center part and if one of the scallops on the rim was sharpened a bit it could be the pour spout. I like having more than one use for pots, it's got me thinking....

Did you figure out what they are? I did a google search and some fruit / compote antique pieces came up. Sort of similar but not really, curious to find out what they are. -
I enjoy trying to answer the questions posed in PQotW and I’m both impressed and covetous of the sheer volume of books Pres has. (no pun intended) Started me thinking about my own meagre collection and which one I find the most useful or enjoyable. So, my question would be, if you could only have one ceramics book what would it be and why? (plus, I’m curious what Pres would choose)

I can relate-thats why I live where its in the 60 year around

Market was okay but not brilliant. Think customers had more sense than I did and stayed indoors with the ac on. We don't usually get this hot so not acclimatized to it at all, especially in June.
-
that's why I moved back to Montana.

Oh, (or should I say Om) that turned out super well! That printer opens up a huge range of possibilities doesn't it?....hmmm going to have to think about getting one. Maybe I should buy one for my husband and he can figure it out ; ) -

Have had this in the back of my mind for a few days, came up with something that makes me shake my head and smile. My parents. Have had comments from them ranging from “people actually buy these?†to a remark on a speckled glaze, “oh, it looks like it has fleasâ€. Doesn’t stop there, at a market my dad came into my tent (while customers there) and said “has it been this slow all day?†Not to be outdone my mum once said, “if we pay your tuition how about going into accountingâ€. My husband and children have always been super supportive. So, question would be, what’s your family like? (if you don't have one, want to borrow my parents?)
-
what a lovely studio you have! -
I meant to make one of those years ago. I got as far as cutting out a plexi circle then somehow forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder. -
looks like getting all those lotus petal tips to line up around the bowl would have been a lot of trial and error. do you use a compass? -
Way to go Kaylee Moore! Good on you Marko. -
they are all lovely but I think the glazes on this one makes it my favourite. handmade form with natural wood like tones (sorry, bad pun) seems to suit the piece very well. -
Is it there? I can't remember? It's something I've been doing with spouts for so long I don't really think about it. Kinda thought most potters do this? -
Ummm, a rolled rim on a pitcher might turn into a dribbler. A sharp edge to cut the flow of liquid is a good idea.
-
Glazes look lovely. I think with the spout you have a couple things going on there, it could be a bit smaller as Nerd said but I also think it is angling down too much also. I would try pressing the side of your finger ever so slightly inwards and upwards just outside the lip at the same time as supporting the lip on the inside with another finger. Gives the spout a little lift and refines the shape of the spout. Do you think the body of the piece is wide enough to have a rim opening that size? Think I would play around with the proportions of the body versus the opening at the top. (if I knew how to add a picture here to explain the lip thing I would )
-
That's a really pretty texture on this one Lee. I like how the glaze is breaking so nicely on it. -
kinda scared to meet you in a dark alley! (just kidding) -
Gorgeous!!!!! -
these baskets of little pots made me smile. reminds me of the candy by the check-outs in grocery stores. irresistible : ) Let us know how the sale goes and how your new green sells.
