recently finished this broken/dissected frog for ceramics class, really went ham on the underglaze. symbolizes stuff about being useless to society as an artist/not stem smart
This handmade cup is a bit pricey, but worth it 😍
It took a while but this is a teddy bear I made. What do you think?
In the past i've used a stroke and coat for the inside of my mugs and the elements for the outside because I assumed they were not food safe/dinnerware safe. On the Mayco website it says this (outlined)
CL health caution, but also dinnerware safe? Is it safe or not? Idk if I want to risk it, but also how bad can it be if they are saying maybe use it??
Not sure if anything I said makes sense, but I'd love some advice!
Asking this because ive read that some people use fiber as a temper. Hoping that i can because i have tons of wool that i want to use for more things. Thanks in advance!
I'm new to throwing clay (sometimes, if I can keep from getting frustrated I actually throw clay on the wheel rather than the wall or floor), and like with a lot of new potters I'm not so good at centering. So... has anyone here used a Strong Arm to help with centering?
This fella's head blew off during a bisque fire, but I decided to glaze and raku it, then secured it with super glue afterwards.
As you can see, the crack around its neck and chip on its shoulder (hehe) are very apparent.
I'm working very hard to make as much product as I can for (my first!) market, but I don't have much right now! I would like to try and sell this guy, but I am not supppper stoked about selling something that is clearly damaged. Right now, my thought is to add some gold lustre in the cracks. I'm also in the process of making a gold lustre chain to put around it's neck, although it doesn't hide the crack well.
I would love to hear some of your suggestions on how to conceal the damage that doesn't involve doing another Raku fire (as I won't be able to). Is it worth trying to salvage? Thank you!!
On spirit of Halloween, here’s one of my latest creations. I’m Audi having a sale today :)

Hi! I'm currently taking a ceramics course in college and I'm working on a set of celestial bowls. What glazes/glaze combinations would work to create a sun spot/surface of the sun look? I'm looking for bright red and orange colors that run into each other. We're doing cone 6 oxidation firings.
Kind of like the left picture here: https://pin.it/67ESTbkYr
I'd appreciate any ideas or information, even if it's not specific glazes. Thank you!
