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 http://glazy.org, an amazing, free international database of glaze recipes & materials, to search for cone 6 glazes that caught their eye. I love demystifying a process that can seem intimidating at first. #ceramics #GlazeChemistry

Experimenting with some stamps I sculpted, little domes and soft spikes. Had to stop and store it for the day, but thinking about what other to add.
@shockwaver said it reminds them of ferro-fluids 🤩
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 & 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 #clay can captures kids’ attention in that way. #kidsart #pottery #ceramics
Broke one of my favourite tea cups last year but now a kintsugi artist fixed it, and it looks so damn cool.

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.

“very direct and able to be vulnerable very easily (a good thing!) and the most ethically-minded and community-focused person ive met!”
“an iceberg. you’ve got a fun, flirty, smolder of a vibe when people meet you initially. then after getting to talk with you people see that you’ve got way more going on under the surface of the water”

saturday is a chickenish sort of day, yes?
An abandoned pottery factory, somewhere in #France
The small French #pottery works thrived for decades. It remained modest, while competitors expanded and modernised. While this gives the #ruins a quaint charm, it was certainly a major factor in their closure!
Inside, the upper floors have long rows of wooden racks stacked with 100s of moulds. Heavy pieces were moved on wooden carts along a rail system.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 20: Meema's tulip bowl.
My grandmother (my Meema) painted a tulip bowl still life when she was 16; her painting now hangs in my home. I was admiring the bowl's shape and thought, "maybe I could make that!"
So here is my Meema's tulip bowl, brought to life.

I’m offering this #VirtualWorkshop for the second time on Saturday, October 25. If you’ve ever had an interest in working with #clay, I hope you’ll join me. #Ceramics 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 & signup: https://potterybyosa.com/products/virtual-workshop-clay-is-for-everyone
just in case anyone needs some gentleness today 
(quite an old film with older sculptures, but i haven't had the chance to make another this in depth since)
Exploring what other kinds of eldritch space creatures there might be, crystal mountains and chasms, and always craters.
I’ve been making bedside water bottles for years but I don’t make them very often. They’re inspired by Mexican botellones—small clay water jugs with an accompanying cup which serves as a cover. Sometimes the cup has a handle. I’ve also discovered a Congolese version of the botellón. It’s such a simple and effective idea that it’s no surprise it would appear in multiple cultures. #pottery #ceramics #beautility
In 2020 I started having mild stability problems. If I'd had a cane the first time I fell down I would have been *much* better off. I tried some commercial ones but they turned out to be expensive, not durable, and very boring looking. So I figured out how to make my own from half inch copper pipe and porcelain. The picture shows what they look like, and this thread explains how to make them.
Materials:
* Type L half inch copper pipe -- this is the thick kind.
* Clay to make a top and a kiln to fire it in -- Probably other things will work for a top but this is what I use.
* Epoxy -- I've used both liquid and paste. They both work and each has its good and bad points.
* Masking tape.
* Half inch rubber cane tips.
Tools:
* Tube cutter -- it's really hard to cut copper pipe with a hacksaw!
* Tape measure
* Hacksaw -- Even if you have a tube cutter a hacksaw is still needed.
* Pliers
hello!
i'm an agender, autistic, disabled and chronically ill ceramicist with little friends to sell and rent to pay!
(i'm also terrible at self-promotion 
)
my shop is currently OPEN at https://www.driftingspirits.art and will remain open for the next week or so. after that, it'll be closed for some weeks while i try to rest/recover and work on autumn sculptures (autumn!). i'm still waiting for the decision on my disability claim so doing my best to keep going in the meantime.
i ship from france to a lot of places. that includes the US but not most of the EU now, sadly; please contact me for more info and/or see and rage about the EU's new PPWR legislation.
all orders will be shipped within three weeks of purchase. i can't stand up today, so i'll pack them when i can.
thank you for looking or buying or boosting if you can, and i wish you all a lovely day
(and if you'd just like to help with rent but not get a little friend: https://ko-fi.com/moon_bun)
