The cone 6 firing yielded some nice mugs. Trying to keep making, everyday.

A pair of ceramic mugs with painted illustrations of lotus leaves, flowers, ducks, and kingfisher birds. The texture is pinched and mottled, and each mug has five small, pointed feet.

Working on some personal projects between work and teaching. Mug inspired by Brandon Sanderson's "Tress of the Emerald Sea" Will see if the colors come through at cone 10

I am slowly migrating away Meta and am looking for my clay community on bsky. This my two chambered wood kiln that I built at my studio in the Ozark National Forest in NW Arkansas.

Part of a recent body of work making porcelain hand forms to react to preexisting crystal glass found forms. I fell in love with the golden color of this Bavarian crystal and wanted to elevate it into a chalice. #ceramic #ceramics #contemporaryceramics #ceramicsculpture #porcelain #ceramicart

Learning how to navigate posts I'm a potter working in Athens, Georgia. I got my MFA at UGA where I now teach (part time). My focus is making pots for the table, using a wide range of making and firing techniques. Handbuilt mugs, cone 6 oxidation. Red clay with slip, underglaze, gold lustre.

Two mugs made from red brown clay, white clay slip has been poured to create areas of contrast. The texture is intentionally pinched and uneven. Red flowers with bright green leaves are painted across the surface, wrapping around the cup and up the handles.
