did a wild soda firing last night and here are some results! the pyrometer was only reading 2,120f but my witness cone 6 was already melted! i had to rush to spray the soda before things got too hot. i think i did a pretty good save 😅

the first layer of the soda kiln revealed, numerous highly colorful tumblers and a delicately carved bowl are distributed across two shelves in the upcycled oval kiln

the blushing on this blue porcelain cup is absolutely wild--like a sky blue and cherry red orange peel! the reduction red glaze is also bright and lovely

phi is holding up the witness cones in front of the table of pots from the firing--the cones are draping across one another like soft waves in the ocean

just another day in this terrible timeline--hoping that people will continue to sign up for pottery classes at my lil gay clay studio in tacoma and spread the word about how making stuff with yr own hands is a powerful way to change things around you 💖 please support local artists if you can!!

this was the moment when i thought "well shit, what did i get myself into?"

a wheelthrown cylinder with a gallery lip that has been altered into fluted shapes. it has no floor yet, which will be added on via a slab later in the process

phi @shapemagic.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

i came up with a method to fit an irregularly shaped, domed lid on to an existing gallery and this is my first attempt! i've done oval and squared jars before but this was a whole different beast. thinking of making a video to share my process 💖 #wheelthrown #slab #handbuilt #ceramics

yup, which is also why it's alarming that doge is insisting all government networks be run on starlink, exclusively. aside from being a conflict of interest, and an unreliable service--outright surveillance will be the norm because "efficiency"

finished a set of four ramen bowls for a customer and they sent me this pic! i loooove how the glaze frames the food so galactically ✨💫

shrimp tempura soba noodles in a dark clay bowl. the bowl shape has a ledge on the interior that catches a beautiful glaze stratification reminiscent of a nebula in space, it encircles the food and looks absolutely electric

exactly. i'm not even a car guy but cars are sculptures. as such, the teslas are definitely made by people who would say "i've seen a car, how hard could it to be to make one." and then when they make one--"well i'm proud of it!" no thanks from me 🤣

for some reason, production choices that spurn artisans and laborers seem to lead to the dickhead superiority egocentric totalitarian billionaire mindset. you can see it from a mile away 😅

020

phi @shapemagic.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

the reason why i have never even considered buying a tesla is the sheer fact that as an artist, i find their look and design to be atrocious. they ugly af, people. the newer it is, the uglier it gets. all other cars have traditionally been sculpted in clay by artists, and it shows
