Packing up these two bottle vases to submit for the Orton cone box show. #fingerscrossed #woodfired #bottle #shino #carbontrap #clay #potter #pottery #ceramics #wheelthrown #mslocalcreatives #missmadeart

These were a lot of fun and challenging in a few ways! I’m also pumped to be back on the drawing game again. :3

So many different lessons in this little pot... It started off as a lidded jar demo, then morphed into a lesson on the many variations of shino - vertical stripes are wax resist, horizontal stripes are an iron oxide wash, both applied over the glaze as soon as it was dry to the touch. The lid has more orange because it's thinner, so absorbed less water and has a thinner coat of glaze. Lots of carbon trapping, due to being glazed a week before firing, so the soda ash could migrate to the surface, and being placed in the top of a down draft kiln.... And the final lesson, how to remove stubborn lids with a little rinsing, freezing and tapping with a wooden mallet is yet to come..... #ceramics #pottery #demo #shinot #carbontrap #somanythingstolearn #doaneceramics (at Doane University)

Pots loaded up to make the drive to Hattiesburg for @usmartdesign train kiln inaugural ride. Thanks @heyallen26 for the chance to test out that new kiln. Now just make sure the firing is great. #carbontrap #shino #packedup #trainkiln #roadtrip #clay #pottery

#mugshotmonday ? Eh it's not a mug but it's a nice shot. I have been playing around with a shino glaze and the more I do the more success I have the more I keep chasing that rabbit down the hole. Today I glazed more work with a carbon trap shino and did some after glaze experiments. Now to pack them up for a trip to USM for a wood fired kiln ride in a train. #shino #msm #mugshot #carbontrap #ceramics #orange #clay #reduction.

Experimental Saturday, that's a thing right? If not who cares I'm doing it anyways. I decided on a whim to throw some Malcolm Davis carbon trap shino over the top of this Bernard leach base copper red/blue just to see what would happen. We have all heard the shino first or suffer the curse motto and I just had to see what would happen. As Katy Perry said "I kissed a girl" oh wait it was the "I liked it" part I needed to quote. So now I have created a new rabbit hole to follow and see where it leads. #shino #carbontrap #reduction #whiskeysipper #ceramics #clay #pottery #potter #experimentalsaturday
