Last year I drank coffee out of a cup at another potter’s house- always a fun activity to see what’s in other potter’s cupboards- and now that it’s getting hot out, the short and shallow form of that cup has been nagging in the back of my mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These cups feel huge, and even though they were thrown to a measured size and I know they’ll shrink down in firing, my brain is skeptical. Scaling down handles to fit such little real estate feels strange too, and balancing aesthetics with function felt tricky. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who’s ready to product test these guys? ☕️☀️🕶
Can we just do some celebrating for a second over this accidental crystalline glaze? 😁🤤🤸‍♀️💃🏻 🎈 At the last minute I changed my mind during glaze tests and tried my favorite triaxial tests on a different base glaze. It did magic. I’m happy. The glaze is happy. Let’s do that some more.
Two of these pieces recently went to new homes. 👋🏼 💕 I’ve had some busy days at the Lithia Artisans Market this year- thanks for your love and support!😊
Numero dos. Ok actually not true because this was post mountain bike and the storm in the distance chased away dreams of paddling under bald eagles and blue skies in this totally seaworthy boat.... but it made for a shameless lifestyle picture for @kneedeepbrewingco 😬
