Repost @dirtkickerpottery⠀ ---⠀ The 4 stages that clay goes through when making pottery. Fresh, bone dry/greenware, bisque and glazed. Each stage the clay shrinks. I was able to determine that my clay blend shrinks approx 12.5% from start to finish. #shrinkrate #porcelain #clay #potterymaking #lagunaclay #knowledgeiscool #claynerd #goodtoknow #thankful 🙌🏻⠀ ---⠀ #pottery #ceramics #shrinkage https://www.instagram.com/p/B4hei93ChDL/?igshid=mtvt1f0qx9nm

#memorylane of past works. Conversation Parade. These are now one of the only works from undergrad that I will allow people to see (though I do have undergrad work on my patreon). This set consisted of around ten figures. I made a second set that literally turned to lava in the kiln and I ruined a lot of people's work. That failure drove me to learn more about the chemistry around clay and now I'm a huge nerd. The text on these pieces was contributed by my bro @mulps_ with things like 100% juice, daily news, and mixedberry #claynerd #glazechemistry #glazenerd #mudwitch #materialexploration #materialscience #ceramics #figures #statuette #sculpture #ceramicsculpture
