A porcelain mug with a sculpted skeleton (skull, hand and arm) embedded in a mossy, rocky landscape. Held by my hand. Primarily off white clay color with turquoise and green glazes in spots.
A porcelain mug with a sculpted skeleton (skull, hand and arm) embedded in a mossy, rocky landscape. I'm holding it by the handle, which is sculpted to resemble precariously stacked rocks. Primarily off white clay color with turquoise and green glazes in spots.
Another view without the handle.
My last pottery restock of the year is live. This porcelain skeleton embedded in a mossy rock outcrop was such a fun mug to sculpt.

Last year we were lucky enough to see quite a few of the Northern Lights even where we live, so I decided to make some mugs to mark the occasion :)

This pair of little vases is among the most enjoyable I've ever made. I saw them as little personalities and imagined conversations they were having....
or did I dream that?

Before and after glazing of this patchwork vase. The idea being: you turn the vase around depending on the flowers you add so the vase compliments the green leaves, the white or red flowers :)
That's the idea.

Because glazes don't look the way they will be once fired, I decide which glazes goes where on the piece, then I take pictures of it as each square needs 3 layers and obviously, after the first layer, the writing is no longer visible. The pictures help me to keep on the right track.
I apply the glazes one by one - each layer 3 times for full opaque coverage. I chose glazes which are fairly stable and won't run all over the piece once they melt in the heat of the kiln.
As you can see... this is all the glazes applied and drying, ready to go into the kiln for a glaze firing.
(This little one got broken when another piece fell on top during the kiln loading. It will stay with me as I fell in love with it.) The colours look washed out on the left of the pictures as the sun peaked through the clouds but you get the idea.
Sometimes we all need a little warmth - a hug, a kind word, a small reminder that we’re cared for.
I made these small vases, gently wrapped in their clay shawls, offering a touch of comfort and a whisper of “you’re not alone.”

These came very handy during the power outage last week. Playing cards by candle light... it had been a while. It was great fun!

A simple mug from a while back.
The handle was an interesting experiment. Fine for right handed coffee lovers, a bit trickier for left handed people.
Notes taken :)

A small bowl made with love (and lots of patience!)
Slip applied dots with a peacock glaze decoration.
I made a cup and saucer to match .. they're terribly cute.

This small bowl is a one of a kind one as I forgot to take notes and have absolutely no idea what glazes I used!
Feel free to put some suggestions forward as I love this subtle combination.

A bowl in neutral tones. Not what I usually do.
Do you prefer neutral colours for your kitchenware or do you prefer bold and colourful?

Pot with glaze which has come off almost completely during the firing. I had run out of brush-on glaze and bought both glazes in a dipping format. Being a beginner, I did not realise the difference between those and when I applied the usual combo, this happened.
Pot with glaze which has come off almost completely during the firing. I had run out of brush-on glaze and bought both glazes in a dipping format. Being a beginner, I did not realise the difference between those and when I applied the usual combo, this happened. The copper was fine.

And this is what they should have looked like.
When things really go wrong!
Remember the set I made with the copper river down the middle?
These were 5 more pieces but the glaze crazed off every single one of them. Mistake: dipping glaze over dipping glaze rather than my usual brush-on. Lesson learned.

My landscapes always look like they're at risk of collapsing. Want a little precariousness with your favorite beverage?
There's a band of igneous stones embedded and fired into the porcelain.

Bisqued pot with a mix of glaze dribbles on the side.
The fired pot with random glazes drizzled on the side with flux on the rim.
From yuk to pretties!
Prior to rinsing my brushes in between colours, I run them along the rim of a small bisqued pot. The accumulation of many glazes with some flux on the top is always magical.

Made some small dishes to serve your daily greens or fabulous dip sauces.
3 layers Mayco Cordovan with 3 layers Mayco Sandstone on the rim and top 1 inch. 2 layers gives more of an orange result. White stoneware clay, cone 6

Workshop sample pieces - latte mugs and sippy cups with transfers - Yellow, Red and Blue... trust me 😂
2 test bowls and 2 test hearts - trying out new glazes. In between are some pieces to be turned into magnets.
4 Latte cups, 3 sippy mugs and a heart shaped trinket dish.
Starting temperature is 11 degrees Celcius... ways to go to reach 1220.
Early morning so I can fire Dante.
I don't like firing overnight so I start my kiln at 3am for it to be cooling down when I go to bed.
These are workshop sample pieces and a few tests. Hopefully a good haul tomorrow!

When testing overlaps torture 🤣
It's ridiculously difficult to remember which glaze is applied & where. Considering they all need 3 coats to become opaque, this is so much fun, requires total concentration, and a level of insanity!

I really really really crave a larger kiln but
1. we can't afford it
2. we have no space for it
3. it would obviously never be big enough 🤣
So we stick to the sizes that fit in the kiln - just.

Small bowl to hold keys, rings, coins, anything... glazed with Mayco Winterwood and Tourmaline over the top.
Refired with something else over the top. No idea what it was.
When you don't like how a piece comes out of the kiln and you randomly throw another glaze on top, refire, et voila! A beautiful result which I will not be able to replicate (forgot which glaze! doh)
Never give up!
