Mame pots on a mini pottery wheel

[Pitoon]

Wow! You know how I love texture. Did you use the sodium silicate method?

Yes, sodium silicate and a hair dryer. It was a bit challenging not being able to touch the outside of the pot when making this one.

What does that mean? All your pots are pretty special.

You are a real tease.

You are a real tease.

I was just going to say that....

 

[Pitoon]

I was just going to say that....

A few of us potters that make smaller pots on Instagram are doing trades/critiques of each other's pots. Some of these pots are for that purpose.

Once these are done I will be concentrating on Batch #3.......my goal is 100 pots for that batch!

Pretty ambitious but I know you will do it.

Will they all be the same?

 

[Pitoon]

Will they all be the same?

Some will be the same style of pot with different glazes possibly with different feet, others will be detailed pots I typically do that are one of a kind.

You and your pots are at fault for making me try to develop some mame trees.

[Crawforde]

Nice!
literati mame seem like something that will be fun to try, and very difficult to do well.
a perfect little challenge.

 

[Pitoon]

These two pots are shipping out to Australia next week. Really grateful that my pots are generating interest abroad.

I just saw that there's 16K views! I would have never guessed so many views on this thread.

I've decided to offer another giveaway when the thread hits 20K.

Thanks for all the support along the way!

Fifth pot of the 'Special Batch' is done. The double bead was no joke..

 

[Crawforde]

That looks nice.
glazed or unglazed?
I can see an unglazed version of that quickly developing nice patina and algae/ lichen growth on and between the beads down here in the heat and 76,005% humidity.
