SPLODE!

Figuring out trays today while listening to the soothing song of a jackhammer. Retrofitting is the no fun. #ceramics #clay

Proto-Todd is built. Now on to 2 matching cups and possibly a tray. #fuckingtodds #functionalsculpture #ceramic #paperclay #clay #tentacle #pottery #handbuiltpottery #prototype (at Clay By The Bay Pottery Studios San Francisco)

Proto-todd in progress. (at Clay By The Bay Pottery Studios San Francisco)

Sometimes I look at process photos and wonder why I hate myself so much. Tiny sequin attachment. #process (at Clay By The Bay Pottery Studios San Francisco)

Every session I make an ugly vase. Tonight I demoed slip transfer, painting with slip, sgraffito, and slip trailing on one vase. It's really ugly but I kinda like it. #ceramic (at Clay By The Bay Pottery Studios San Francisco)

Getting shit done today. (at Clay By The Bay Pottery Studios San Francisco)

Gonna walk with more sculptures more often. This Todd got to have an impromptu photo session. (at San Francisco, California)

Walking half way to work with a sculpture and came across this gem of a truck. So awesome I am going to have to find it again and spend some time taking photos. #walkingtowork #sculpture #old #ceramic #texture #truck #oldtruck #pottery #clay #tentacle (at San Francisco, California)

Today I made a Todd. Todds are sculptures that I make when I feel over loaded with new ideas. They are a puzzle I visit once or twice a year to clear my head and try to figure out how to make them stand on their butt spikes with zero breakage. I have never had success and I typically end up pissed off at them. Just like most of the Todds I have met in my life. (Sorry if you a Todd... you're probably quite lovely) I am trying to use up my test clay bits from my @uspigment tinted clay tests. . . . . . . #clay #todd #sculpture #pokey #ceranic #tintedclay #uspigments (at Clay By The Bay Pottery Studios San Francisco)

I must have been inspired by all the penis artworks @kidtofer has been making in the studio. Decorative coils will be part of my continuing Hand Building class this week. # (at Clay By The Bay Pottery Studios San Francisco)
