Diving into pottery

That grass...... I LOVE IT!!!!

You've been pumping out some pots lately. I'll probably start back up tomorrow evening.

Haha, this week I’m not making any pot. But I am making a trip to the ceramic store for glazes!

This is the last of my mixed clay. This is a 8”x 10” x 2” tall.View attachment 348179View attachment 348180View attachment 348181

I like this marbling better. The one before was too 'busy' imo.

Getting frustrated with large pots.. so going back to small pots. These are 6x8”

They look great! I especially like the cut corner one.

I see you're using some kind of foam for support. What is it? I've toyed with some dense craft stuff but it carved like crap.

I use something similar to this. I get it for $1 a sheet from the local Habitat restore

I'm digging the middle one.... like floating sapphire.

I like the 1st and 3rd ones but all of them are options

Are you mixing your own glazes? If so, what do you think about toning down the sheen?

I am not. These are different glazes applied in different orders and thicknesses.

Any tips to get a thick glaze when applying, yet keeping the inside unglazed? I made a few but painted on the glaze. I would dunk them, but not sure how I would keep the inside unglazed with the drainage holes on the bottom. I'm guessing I needed to do multiple layers with brush strokes. I only did two layers and they came out really matte, light, etc. Curious how you are applying.
