Sculptural upside down planter with bumpy texture and small tentacle at the bottom rim. Planted with a small succulent at the bottom. The planter has a creamed glaze that breaks in brick orange contrast over bumpy texture
Definitely a favorite. Upside down pot with a little succulent friend.

I had my first international order on Etsy yesterday and holy smokes shipping prices bite. I do free shipping in US and factor the cost into the listing. So I was thinking of mentioning an international shipping discount in listings to help offset the cost for inter customers. What do you guys do?

Four clay sculptures in a bisque state. Large fish with opening along the spine creating a vessel. Rocking horse with rocket shaped fish. A woman statue with hands on her hips and bracelets, the statue does not have legs on the bottom and there is an opening at the breast levels that turns it into a vessel. Small pommel horse figuring that is somewhere in-between of being an animal and gym equipment
Congregation of bisque sculpture pieces. They all survived the initial firing and are now waiting for gutsy decoration muse

Composter in progress with rough sketch for scale. Middle section
Almost finished middle section of the composter. Wet rags at the top will prevent it from drying overnight. This way I'll be able to make a gallery to hold the lid another day
Starting a new big boy, this will be a composter with a bottom section dug into the soil. It will have three sections and this is the middle par

Top view of an open kiln after successfully bisque firing.
What is your word for when you open the kiln and everything is intact?
Mine is "kilning it!!"

I would suggest linseed or tung oil if you want to be fancy. I usually use coconut oil, it doesn't go rancid fast like other kitchen oils. However this time it was canola. Considering how frequently tools get washed - it should be a problem

Wooden tool for hand building freshly oiled dand drying on the board
My personal time with clay has been limited in past month. Between the kid spending a month at home and the kick off of clay classes - my studio transformed into a staging area. But alas kiln is loaded, studio cleaned up and wood tools oiled #ceramics #handbuildersofbluesky #clay #art #potterystudio

A handcrafted ceramic vessel with a tall, tapered body and wide, flat handles extending horizontally from both sides. The surface features a rich, earthy palette with deep reddish-brown tones and vertical streaks of olive green glaze. The vessel has a wide cylindrical neck with a mottled brown glaze, giving it a rustic and sculptural appearance. It sits on a light wooden surface against a white brick wall backdrop.
This large planter is available for local pick up /delivery in #philadelphia
I have a listing on FB marketplace for those who are interested

I could see that happening.. to be able to abstract well you have to start with knowledge of the details to abstract from.
Not sure what you mean by seemingly "bad", is it the opinion of the artist or the audience?

If we separate bad and good as qualifiers from the "eye of the beholder". To the artist, I would think, it's all a process, the art that might have been seen as "bad" could be a crucial step for creating "good"

Sculpture of horse with stylizes tail and mane
Two legs have half circles at the bottom, starting to look like the tail end of the plane or rocket
These sculptures have been rather spontaneous and come from very deeply personal space.. triggering all sorts of feelings in the process
