Bought 500g of CMC Gum powder (a gelatinous additive to glazes to improve consistency for brushing).
Mixed up my first batch. 40g to 1L water.
So I bought myself a 25-year supply.
Do I need to put this in my will?

Whoever named this an ‘easy-open tab’ was clearly joking. This design flaw drives me nuts! What’s a design you run into that makes absolutely no sense?

So, unfortunately, I didn't weld the fancy handles on good enough, and they fell off during the firing 😢. (Some other issues as well)
Lesson learned, lol.
But the others survived 😁(pic 2).

Our hands work overtime in the studio and need some TLC. What are your favourite hand care companies?

A set of five ceramic plates in five sizes. Each plate has a snake pattern in a different color made from newspaper image transfers
A set of two ceramic cat bowls with whirling schools of turquoise fish in the bottoms
A set of four ceramic plates - the clay is called “dragonfruit” so it’s so speckly as to appear gray. It has a green paint brush swirl and paint drips as a pattern on each one
Two ceramic Christmas/winter mugs. The one on the left is made of speckly clay and has cute penguins and polar bears in winter clothes around the outside. The other is a townscape of little houses and trees and says merry Christmas with a light blue glaze that has crystals in it that look like snowflakes
man, digging in my garage to take pictures for Etsy is revealing how many pieces I just plopped on a shelf and forgot about - snake plates? Christmas mugs? Cat dishes? I remember y’all, long time no see #ceramics #potteryproblems
I did such a stupid thing 🤣.
I opened a peephole on the kiln cuz I wanted to see the pots all glowing in their molten, semi liquid state and I forgot I had this bottle right up against the peephole 😅.
BOOM! Thermal shock 😆.

Two freshly thrown medium sized jars and their Lids drying out in the clay closet.
Reclaim sludge drying out on a large plank.
These will be Joy Jars.
Also, my reclaim bucket is getting way out of hand so it’s time to dry out clay sludge and wedge some reclaimed clay. #potteryproblems #pottery #ceramics #wheelthrowing
I'm loving all this puppy time, but I'm going through clay withdrawals!

That feeling when your bowl warped while you weren't looking 😆.

I gotta start using my mirror when throwing. My neck 😭.

I want to go to the studio and work, but I'm waiting on some glaze-making supplies to arrive, since apparently nowhere in Denver has the frits I need in stock. #PotteryProblems
