Day 10! This is my little forest spirit for Battersea park, and my first London kiln guardian. He sold not too long ago. Side-note! I’m moving, so I got very distracted with that for a while (and will be for a while longer still) but! Finally I’m feeling up to posting! #20pots #ceramics #art

A small deer-like creature sits on the edge of something black, in front of a black background. He appears to be wearing a chain-like shirt. One hand is raised and waving, while the same leg is kicking forward. He is smiling with a small tongue hanging out. He has two anglers, covered in very subtle glaze dots. His general color palette is brown.

Day 9! I missed a day yesterday whoops! This piece, Observer, was technically the first part of my dream inspired pantheon from my thesis at the RCA! #20pots #ceramics #art #folklore #fantasy

A sculpture in front of a concrete wall. The sculpture appears to be emerging from the ground. The head is the only discernible part of its form. The head is a skull, seemingly a mix between a canine and deer skull, with 5 pronged antlers. It is stoneware, rubbed with oxides and black underglaze, with spot glazing in the form of metallic tips to the antlers, and tears from the eyes, mouth, and nose.

Day 4 of #20pots ! This piece was originally made at the start of my masters in 2023, though I didn’t glaze it until 2024. I call him the Filthy House Spirit, he was inspired by one of my close friends experiences in her childhood home #ceramics #art #folklore #fantasy #sculpture

A sculpture is viewed from the front on a white background. The sculpture is a furry creature, with large round red eyes and dirty greenish yellow fur. One leg is sticking forward, and it is balancing one arm on the other leg. Its other arm is being used for balance, almost as if it was in the process of standing up after being pushed over.

The face and torso of a sculpture, in a dark setting surrounded by other sculptures. The face has large red eyes (resembling those of a bush baby), a humanoid nose and lips, and round ears on the side of its head. It is furry, the fur a dirty greenish yellow. This is a front view.

I saw some people doing #20pots on here, where you post 20 pots for 20 days, and thought I’d join in! Here is Day 1! Mine aren’t all going to be pots, but I thought I’d start it off with an older mug! #ceramics #fantasy #mug #sgraffito #art

A mug, sitting on a rock in nature. The handle is to the left, showing the front of the mug. The mug has a blue interior. The surface is decorated using sgraffito to have Alice from Alice in wonderland, and some large mushrooms.

One of my favorite recent pieces: this is wood-fired porcelain. You can see on his tail where some clay fused and split off in the firing. However, I wasn’t really expecting him to survive the wood kiln and was pleasantly surprised! Ft: A dramatic picture of us together #ceramics #art #sculpture

The artist holding a sculpture. She is facing left, using both hands to cradle the sculpture which is just above eye level. The sculpture is a white clay base. It resembles a Corvid type bird lying on it’s back with both feet up. It is white, mottled with grey, green, and yellow from the ash of the wood firing.

The more lil sgraffito doodles I do the more I realize I really needed a bit of a sculpting break! I’m hoping to be back in the groove of things soon but until then, these are very fun to do #ceramics #sgraffito #raven #art

The image shows an in-progress coaster, on a board. The coaster is porcelain, covered in black slip, which was then carved away to reveal the image of a raven.

I’ve missed sgraffito! As soon as I can, I think I’ll be trying to do some on some mugs again, it was so much fun to do today, very meditative. #ceramics #art #sgraffito #natureart

This image shows a slab of porcelain on a banding wheel. The porcelain was covered in black slip, and then carved to reveal a black and white image. The image shows a caiman with a small round bird on its head, on a riverbank with tall stylized plants around them, and one cloud in the background.

A sculpture on a white background, facing right. The sculpture itself is the neck and head of a creature most closely resembling a white hare. This side of the face has 3 visible eyes. The clay is white, with darkness rubbed into the detailing. The eyes are an antiqued gold: ranging from a very muted gold to black. There are patches of light delicate pink under the eyes, on the nose, and inside the large ears.

Question for anyone who needs or benefits from alt text: is it okay to describe the vibes of an image? Or should it just be strictly what is visually there? And is there a point where it’s too much? I can be a little wordy, and I want to make sure I’m not making things harder for those relying it

Fantasy Archive 001 The smallest sculpture from my recent series! #fantasy #ceramics #sculpture

Someone’s right hand holding a small ceramic sculpture. The hand in cupped around the sculpture, which is facing slightly to the right.
The sculpture is the head of a creature most closely resembling a shrew or possum. Its flesh appears to be uneven, and close to the bone. It has 3 small sharp teeth sticking out of its closed mouth on this side. It has a pink shiny nose, and a bit of pinking around its eye sockets. This side of the sculpture shows two eyes, one above and behind where an eye would normally be. These eyes are dark and round, with just a glint of antique gold in the center where the glaze pooled.

Hi, I'm Magdalena 👋 I do pottery in Bellevue, WA. I'm still learning, lots of my creations come out as garbage and I can't do two of the same thing 😂 But! If something comes out nice, I share pics and put it on my online store. To kickoff: the first item I ever made next to my more recent ones.

Arrangement of 3 pottery pieces: a white/blue wonky pot, a small vase with variegated light green/brown glaze, a red clay cup with with white glaze and geometric pattern.

It has small rounded ears on the sides of its head. It has pinkish, human-adjacent lips, and huge round eyes resembling. These eyes are a bright red. Its hands taper into long black points.
The feet also end in black, however they seem much more human than the hands. The toenails are yellowed and cracked.
The creature has it’s right leg thrust forward, and it’s left leg crouched to it’s side. Its left arm rests on the leg, and the right arm is placed on the ground, just outside the right leg, for balance.
