Very nice.
Thank you Mark!
-
There is something to be said for a simple form that is executed correctly.
Thank you Nerd! I do believe it is one of my best mugs so far. (:
-
It is a lovely green. Trinkets and tiny things always get me, so cute!
-
Dragons are my favorite. Would love a large piece as gorgeous as yours!
-
Love succulents. They always work well in pottery.
Thank you Mark! I agree, I have a plant obsession !
-
Fantastic design! I love it!
-
This is absolutely incredible. I am in love with this glaze!
-
Amazing glaze, reminds me of those metal camping mugs!
-
succulents are super trendy where I live too. that glaze combo looks perfect for those pots and plants, nice!
Thank you Min! I have loved gardening and succulents since I could walk, and was always heavily encouraged to plant, tend, and invest in plants. I just make ceramics to feed my plant addiction!

Was this with sodium silicate? Mine totally failed on me, and I am devastated that it should be such a simple technique yet my form imploded on itself.
-
Oh my gosh the dark cracks are sublime. Love it!
-
Lovely form <3
-
I do too! Love the form too, the white lip brings it all together.
-
Oh ok, I see. Yep, makes sense. Also, heat guns are lovely. Thank you for your time and advice, Min!

"If the bowl distorts when you peel the paper off then just leave it dry a bit then take the paper off."
If the paper is already off, how do I take it off again?
-
Min, I am right handed, but I throw clockwise and work on my left. When I paint and draw, I also start on the left side of the paper, just as we read left to right. It just feels so much more natural, and I am stronger in my movements this way. I have tried going opposite for a few weeks, and it is significantly harder and less pleasant.
Wow, that paper trick is great! I think I will try that, as well as just ordering a pack of a few dozen batts. Do you wet the paper?
As a side note, I cannot successfully get lids off the hump either. Which is unfortunate, as I have a lot of projects due with lids...

Lovely work : )
Have you tried using slightly stiffer clay for pots thrown without batts?
Thank you Min!
Stiff clay and I do not mix well at all. I have joint problems, and it is very difficult for me to center and pull even walls on harder clay. I actually work very well with porcelain and b-mix, but the other qualities of that clay is what makes it hard for me to deal with (warping, fragility during leather and bone-dry mostly). We ran out of b-mix so I only have the option of a clay called "bone white" which is stiff, very very groggy and difficult for me to use; or porcelain. If I bought my own batts that would basically just solve my warping problem! (:

Thank you so much! I am pleased as well! (:
-
I would love to drink some hard cider in these <3
-
Sometimes simple makes the loudest statement. I like the quiet elegance I see going on here.
Thanks Nerd! (:
-
Glaze combo is wonderful. Very earthy. Love the bleed on the outer mug.
Thank you so much! I love these two glazes together (:
-
This color is such love <3
-

Thank you! It is quickly becoming a favorite of mine as well!
