Sculptures and Sketches by Lauren Scales

Skull with mushrooms and lichen WIP. I think it came out pretty cool, and I definitely want to make more. Sorry for the crappy lighting and photos...one day I’ll get it right, lol.

I will definitely be making more of these and putting them on my abandoned etsy, because they're awesome and so much fun to make

Here is the article if you want to check it out and do a bit of your own experimentation [X]

I took a bit of a break over the holidays, but I'm back in the studio with eager fingers. They're all about 3 1/2 inches tall, and I loved working at this scale. I'll definitely make more pieces like this soon

Functional work!! I haven't thrown/ made functional work since college so I decided to switch it up a bit. the Bottle is slab and coil built and the rest are thrown. I used underglazes a bit of sgraffito and inlay. Hopefully if the work looks nice I'll start up my etsy and make more

A Raku figure WIP. I had a bit of fun with her hair. Can't wait to see her done

The second piece from the NHIA anagama firing. I love all of the colors and textures happening on it. I'll also be getting this piece photographed nicely, so an "official" post will be happening soon

One of my pinecone ladies from the wood firing at NHIA's anagama. The other one broke, so she didn't make it in. I'm happy with how she came out. Its much better in person. I should be getting nice photos of her soon you'll probably see her in a more official post at a later date

The Glory Hole! (side stoking of the anagama at the Sharon Arts Center)

This was from the Halloween night shift firing the anagama. So much fun!

The blow holes (?) ports (?) on top of the anagama at the Sharon Arts Center that was fired over the Halloween weekend. The fire was so pretty at night
