#ceramic glaze

it’s like a milky clear colour which is fine, but it pools RED and now I am in love.

it’s Mayco’s Oxblood

I might have to get some, that would look so cool on a textured sculptural creature

the above pictures are from Mayco’s facebook page

and this little jar is by Alexander Seidl

Fawn plate. Super proud of how this turned out.

October 2025.

I started workshopping some potion bottles for Ren Faire a few months ago and I feel like I’m getting somewhere…. They’re different than the standard rounded bottom but I tend to appreciate that I can set them down on flat surfaces. I’m still figuring out finishing off the mouths so they’ll take the same cork but I’m just about there.

My finished Jayvik cheater's plate!

Finally uploaded this one...oops. It doesn't photograph well, since the plate is fairly uneven in terms of base thickness (I think this was my 2nd, 3rd thrown plate of semester?) So I've got a few close ups under the cut to better show off some of my favorite details, as well as a mini yap about the process- No reposting, please :)

One of the things I've started doing is going WAY back into my old pottery journal and looking for glaze patterns on pieces that I really liked. I mainly wanted to do this because I've improved since I started wheel throwing in the summer of 2018 (at least I hope I have, since it's been almost 8 years XD) and I wanted to put those old glaze choices on newer mugs I've thrown.

For comparison, below on the left, you'll find this mug I just threw, trimmed, and glazed in the past two months, and below on the right, you'll find a mug I threw, trimmed and glazed about 7 years ago with this same glaze pattern. (It should also be noted that the mug on the left is MUCH lighter than the one on the right. That 2019 mug is an absolute UNIT and boy oh boy does my wrist feel it when I drink from it. XD)
