#throwback This summer I tried raku for the first time, which is a very hot and violent firing process! 🔥🔥🔥 I attended a two-part workshop led by Portuguese artists Maria João Cravo (hand building class) and Yola Vale (raku glazing and firing). They are great! #pottery

Hot pottery in the flames from wood chips

Raku pieces (and a small flea market vase) on the wooden shelves.

My most recent favorite coffee cup ♥️ I miss it so much as it sits in a storage container waiting on me to be done with travels and to complete my move to Europe. #handmade #pottery

One of the last items I made before closing my studio. It's the biggest thing I made, it covered the whole 12in bat and I had to fire it directly on the bottom bricks in my kiln. I was pretty lucky that it fit in, as I didn't measure the kiln beforehand and I forgot the thermocouple sticks out 🤦‍♀️

These are the screen grabs of probably the last newsletter email I've sent for a long while. I'm moving across the ocean and I have no idea if and when I'll be able to re-establish a pottery studio. mb-pottery.com #pottery #handmade #sale #lastchance

The moving sale discount is increased to 40%! I will close down the store Thursday, Nov 13th, as I prepare to move out very soon.

1/ Hand-building and glaze-making 2-in-1. These two were waiting for glazing for months. I was really afraid of ruining the forms with some random glazes, and so we waited. #pottery #handbuilding #glazemaking #potteryglaze

Two vases. The closer one in focus is green with tiny protruding balls and vase top off-center, reminiscent of a cactus. The further one, slightly out of focus is blue, gold, and white and in a shape of a pitcher.

I carved this sea urchin- inspired piece the other day. (Not sure why I can’t post the video) Excited to get it out of the bisque so I can glaze. I’m thinking red iron oxide on the outside, and a blue glaze inside 🪼 #pottery #art #carving #seaurchin #bowl

The US tariffs have almost killed my Etsy store. Traffic is way down, as are sales. I cannot even ship to the US. To try and get things moving, I've dropped my prices - now dead cheap for hand-thrown, unique, reduction-fired pottery. Maybe you'd like to have a look. www.etsy.com/shop/DanPalm...

I'll have a couple unique doodle mugs in the next store update. They turn out really cute but recently I'm more in the mood for glaze experimentation. I think I'm kind of winding down mug making for the year and getting "back to basics" - practice & experiment. #pottery #handmade

A cute transparent green and a less cute transparent green: V.C. Transparent Green 3 and Steve's Gloss Green - both page 108 from Britt's △6 book. I like tile #614 the most where the bubbles in the glaze are locked in and cast shadows. #pottery #potteryglaze #britt6

Phase separation study I thought I needed titanium dioxide (or rutile) to get a variegated glaze look. Not really! TiO2 facilitates phase separation but it's not strictly necessary. Details in the thread. #pottery #potteryglaze

John's Jade I - Britt's △6 book p/108 Interesting surface with a mix of glossy and matte (slow cooled) which shifts the color toward turquoise. I wouldn't use it on functional pieces due to: high R2O:RO ratio, high copper content, crazing. Details: glazy.org/recipes/592947 #potteryglaze #britt6

Four white porcelain test tiles covered in crazed glazes of various colors: transparent, turquoise, bluish green, jade green.

Happy @mb-pottery.com day! I get new cups, Sammy gets packing material. Definite win-win situation.

Three cool cups. One with green hand-painted leaves, one with green dots in varying shapes and sizes, and one with green and blue stripes.

One more cool cup. Perhaps the coolest. White with primary-colored 3D shape outlines.
