ceramics

<p>This was my student’s first time making glaze. Exciting! They’ve finished building their pieces which are now ready to be bisque fired and we’ve made a small amount of glaze to test on little tiles before we apply it to the larger pieces. I referred them to <a href="http://glazy.org" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">http://</span>glazy.org</a>, an amazing, free international database of glaze recipes &amp; materials, to search for cone 6 glazes that caught their eye. I love demystifying a process that can seem intimidating at first. <a href="/tags/ceramics/" rel="tag">#ceramics</a> <a href="/tags/glazechemistry/" rel="tag">#GlazeChemistry</a></p>

<p>These photos are from last weekend. I provided a free Clay Play table for an event at the local skatepark. My husband’s a skateboarder &amp; skatepark designer so I got linked in through his network. It was so sweet, fun and, best of all, relaxing. A few kids got hooked and stayed at the table for the entire four hours I was there. It’s incredible how <a href="/tags/clay/" rel="tag">#clay</a> can captures kids’ attention in that way. <a href="/tags/kidsart/" rel="tag">#kidsart</a> <a href="/tags/pottery/" rel="tag">#pottery</a> <a href="/tags/ceramics/" rel="tag">#ceramics</a></p>

<p>Broke one of my favourite tea cups last year but now a kintsugi artist fixed it, and it looks so damn cool.</p><p><a href="/tags/kintsugi/" rel="tag">#kintsugi</a> <a href="/tags/tea/" rel="tag">#tea</a> <a href="/tags/ceramics/" rel="tag">#ceramics</a> </p><p>@tea</p>

<p>A rather beautiful wally close in the west end of Glasgow. For those not familiar with the term, wally refers to the ceramic tiles used to line the communal stairwell (the close) of a tenement building.</p><p><a href="/tags/glasgow/" rel="tag">#glasgow</a> <a href="/tags/wallyclose/" rel="tag">#wallyclose</a> <a href="/tags/tiles/" rel="tag">#tiles</a> <a href="/tags/ceramics/" rel="tag">#ceramics</a> <a href="/tags/tiling/" rel="tag">#tiling</a> <a href="/tags/hyndland/" rel="tag">#hyndland</a> <a href="/tags/architecture/" rel="tag">#architecture</a> <a href="/tags/architecturephotography/" rel="tag">#architecturephotography</a></p>

<p>I’m offering this <a href="/tags/virtualworkshop/" rel="tag">#VirtualWorkshop</a> for the second time on Saturday, October 25. If you’ve ever had an interest in working with <a href="/tags/clay/" rel="tag">#clay</a>, I hope you’ll join me. <a href="/tags/ceramics/" rel="tag">#Ceramics</a> used to be a free creative medium but has become an expensive hobby. In this workshop, I will explain exactly how to take advantage of the therapeutic benefits of working with clay, but at minimal cost. The workshop is sliding scale beginning at $10. Recording available. More info &amp; signup: <a href="https://potterybyosa.com/products/virtual-workshop-clay-is-for-everyone" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="potterybyosa.com/products/virtual-workshop-clay-is-for-everyone"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">potterybyosa.com/products/virt</span><span class="invisible">ual-workshop-clay-is-for-everyone</span></a></p>

<p>I usually make things for people to use at home, but it seems to me that the only purpose of this bowl is to bob and spin in the Gulf. </p><p><a href="/tags/ceramics/" rel="tag">#ceramics</a> <a href="/tags/pottery/" rel="tag">#pottery</a> <a href="/tags/nature/" rel="tag">#nature</a> <a href="/tags/water/" rel="tag">#water</a> <a href="/tags/beach/" rel="tag">#beach</a> <a href="/tags/florida/" rel="tag">#Florida</a> <a href="/tags/birds/" rel="tag">#birds</a> <a href="/tags/peacefulmoments/" rel="tag">#PeacefulMoments</a></p>
