Cow Crock I made for myself :) Now I can finally try out your recipe @sabritree!

alright #pastel #teabowls, today you will dry to the perfect consistency and i will carve you. I was happy with how my stained porcelain looked on my recent batch of stoneware vases, so I mixed up a few more sweet colors :)

looking goopy 💧 hoping this clay and slip combo like to fire together!

The larger two fermenting crocks hold a gallon plus a pint, and the smaller two hold 7/8 gallon :) Looking fancy! Now if I can bust out a few more of these along with plates, bowls, vases, cups and mugs... i might be near ready for my april show! #solarplexusgems #fermentationcrock #fermenting #kimchi #pikeplaceproducers #potterylife #inthestudio #jars #pottery #ceramics #pikeplacepublicmarket

Trying out this glaze... i'm frustrated but it's gonna get better! i need a much heavier application than expected

@caitlinrossceramics wanted to toss this little baby she made, so I squirreled it away and put it through a #raku firing :) now it will live in my studio
