Portraits of the day. Working towards getting the new work glaze fired tomorrow. I’ve been having issues with my clear glaze when dipping. It was to hard to control the thickness and I would end up with cloudy areas on the pieces. So it’s back to spraying the glaze to get a nice even coating. I do have plans to test to find a clear cone 10 that works for dipping. If you have any leads on a nice crystal clear or even a matte clear drop me a comment. #makersgonnamake #potsofinstagram #christianbaileyceramics #sprayingglaze https://www.instagram.com/p/BsirbfIAVk2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1geq310gsue53

The other margarita pitcher and glasses. Drawing on large smooth surfaces like the pitcher is so much easier than the undulating ones of the cups. But with a little patience, a lot of hardheadedness and luck I manage to get it done. What challenges do you have while working? #amacovelvetunderglaze #potsofinstagram #howiamaco #nuclearapocalypse #skullopus #skull #octopus #margarita #sgraffito #reductionfired #reductioncooling. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsvx9M4gnR9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17gd0bkgyttax

Finally had a chance to actually photograph this pitcher and margarita glasses. I can say I’m happy. What do you think of them? #amacovelvetunderglaze #potsofinstagram #margarita #howiamaco #skullopus #skull #octopus #clay #pottery #wheelthrown #reductionfired #happydance https://www.instagram.com/p/BstqdNODeMM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s8d45howez7v

A margarita cup to go along with yesterday’s pitcher. I am not a margarita drinker, I prefer my alcohol simple, rum + ice in a handmade sipper. Oh and yeah I’m still overjoyed with the surface and can’t wait to spray the glazes and get these things fired in reduction this weekend. #makersgonnamake #potsofinstagram #christianbaileyceramics #margarita #drinkup #cup #skullopus #skull #octopus #apocalypse #nuclearapocalypse https://www.instagram.com/p/BseY3vQAFYN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tua2jhbsq1

Martini glasses are a pain to photograph. I guess I’ll try a lower point of view to get that skullopus image. Eh here they are and I don’t even drink martinis. #amacovelvetunderglaze #potsofinstagram #sgraffito #nuclearapocalypse #skullopus #skull #octopus #martini #passtherum https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs9UNStAedr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y2ar2ko0vsoq

I’ve been chasing this look in my work for almost a year. I’ve always been attracted to the old, items that have lived a life and tell a story. I can’t explain the attraction, maybe I’m what they call an old soul, or maybe I just have an odd aesthetic. Now on to the glazing and final firing. #christianbaileyceramics #olddognewtricks #worn #skullopus #skull #octopus #clay #pitcher #layers #potsofinstagram #makersgonnamake https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsbyg2fgOHL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i7yb5iwsa6sn

Does size and thickness matter? With pots, definitely No substitute for getting on the clay every day and seeing what emerges.
