Deus Ex Ceramica - Old blog

New post will go on exceramica, not this blog! Creating a new sideblog for ceramics! Currently posting through my backlog of things I've made the past few years until I catch up. Most of my work is either small and delicate or big and weird, with not a lot of middle ground. Some wheel thrown and some handbuilt too!

Switching blog

Ok, I know this blog is not that old, but I wanted to transfer it to a different account, so please follow @exceramica instead, not this one (now renamed exceramica-old)!

One of my first soda fired pieces. We got really nice carbon trapping in this firing!

A set of luminaries I threw and carved out of NZ6 porcelain. This clay cracks so easily while drying, but it's by far the most translucent clay I've worked with! This was also a great project for practicing pulling really uniform, straight walls.

One of my first projects that I was really, fully happy with the result! Mugs inspired by turkey tail mushrooms on fallen tree branches. These are helmer clay, soda fired with various flashing slips. I recently added a thin line of gold luster on the edge of each mushroom.
