Hair Painted Cups, 2014 by Emily Rose Bourne
Thrown porcelain, commercial underglaze, and clear glaze fired to cone 10. The surfacing process was inspired by Stephen Gammell’s illustrations and my own experiments in painting and drawing.
Reblogging again because I’ve really been missing making my own work lately. Happy spring, everyone!
Mountain mug goes on a field trip. (Thank you Emily, I love them!)
I'm so glad! Have fun out there.
Started playing with my new clay on my ancient wheel.
Cute lil bud vase friends!
Sorry for the radio silence. Lately I've been working for Laura Zindel, reading, and taking inspiring walks around southern Vermont with lovely canine companions.
I also recently read Whisperer In Darkness by H.P. Lovecraft, which takes place in this area in the early 30's. He wrote about how haunted and spooky these hills seemed to him, but they've always been magical, mysterious, and beautiful to me. I didn't realize how much I missed my home until I came back. There's more biodiversity and breathing room for everything and everyone.
I do have studio access now, I just need to buy clay and set things up properly. I'm more productive in winter, anyway.
Snowy Skies Mountain Mugs are now available in my Etsy shop, too!
Flowering Trumpet Cups are also now available on my Etsy shop!
Two Purple Skies Mountain Mugs are now available in my Etsy shop!
Thank you all for your patience. I'll have more pieces listed soon.
My boxy robot drawings circa 2010.
I've been home for a few days and I'm going through my rough drawings from my illustration classes. I want to start drawing silly stuff again while making spooky pots.
being in emilyrosebourne's way while she packs an playing with her ceramic goodies from back when.

My baby is home. Now I just need clay. And glaze. And a kiln. Ah man I just want to make stuff now!!
Hair-Painted Plates, 2014 by Emily Rose Bourne
My work. Thrown porcelain, commercial underglaze, and clear glaze fired to cone 10. The surfacing process was inspired by Stephen Gammell's illustrations and my own experiments in painting and drawing. These are not raku-fired, but are instead results of taking chances and doing some weird shit. In the words of Ms. Frizzle, "Take chances, make mistakes, get messy." Do it up.
Susan Dewsnap Plate Appreciation Post
Susan Dewsnap is a ceramic artist based in Maine. She is currently a professor at Bates College in Lewiston, ME.
When she visited the Maine College of Art this spring, she described her various influences and firing process, and also displayed her throwing skills and surfacing process. Her work is soda fired to cone 10 in a neutral atmosphere. Nearly all of her surface work involves painting with wax-resist to produce a highly graphic style, and her vessels and other work have a very strong focus on profile, both interior and exterior.
The profile, tactility, and overall visual balance of her work is phenomenal. I'm so glad I was able to meet her and purchase one of her big beautiful mugs (currently drinking coffee out of it!).

Michelle Summers Cup Appreciation Post
I have loved Michelle's work for years. All of it. Everything. I've read her entire blog, which is full of inspirations and some process photos (not to mention pictures of her adorable old studio). I'm still not sure what kind of magic she uses to get all of those gorgeous surfaces, but that's okay. I like the mystery of her watercolor-like glazes, fine lines, and playful carvings.
My favorite objects that she makes are cups, especially the ones with playful feet and characters in relief.

Hair-Painted Plates and Cake Stand, 2014 by Emily Rose Bourne
Thrown porcelain, commercial underglaze, and clear glaze fired to cone 10. The surfacing process was inspired by Stephen Gammell's illustrations and my own experiments in painting and drawing.
This set was initially meant for serving cake, but as many people commented during my thesis exhibition at MECA, the cake stand could be used for serving just about anything. Also, fun fact: the plates fit inside the cake stand for easy, space-saving storage.
Bob Ross inspired me to draw my own happy little trees today.
It's official! BFA in Ceramics with Honors! Woooooooo!!!
Now to find a studio to work in...
Glaze-Carved Dinner Plates, 2014 by Emily Rose Bourne
Thrown porcelain with black and white glazes fired to cone 10. This surfacing process was inspired by Chinese T'zu-Chou Type Wares as well as the bold black-and-white designs of Mimbres pottery.
These and several other pieces are currently on display at the [In]Habit 2014 Thesis Exhibition at the Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine. The display will be up until May 23.
