This little sweetie did not turn out at all as I envisioned, which is great because this is better! I’ve been pouring over notes trying to figure out why, and here is what I have discovered: ‘Cuz . Let’s face it. If I could control everything in the kiln, this wouldn’t be fun anymore. 💜 . . . #glazeporn #glazeaddict #glaze #glazedandconfused #cone6 #makersgonnamake #creativelife #instaart #livecreatively #pottersofinstagram #claybuddies #ceramicsofinstagram #makersofinstagram #doitfortheprocess #potterystudio #glazedevelopment #ceramicglaze #lithologyceramicart It’s in the shop.

So a couple of weeks ago I got the opportunity to be interviewed by Paul Blais @pdblais for The Potters Cast. It was a great time and I really enjoyed the speaking about my work as an artist and art teacher. You can listen to it at http://thepotterscast.com its episode 640. #Repost @pdblais with @get_repost ・・・ After tons of tech problems, last Thursday’s episode with Christian Bailey (@christianbceramics) on The Potters Cast is finally up!!!

Mugshot Monday - “Rye Whiskey Cup” by Kara ZumBahlen with Straight Rye Whiskey by Tattersall Distillery

I love this rye whiskey sipper my friend Kara makes. She has a Bourbon version too with a corn design. I picked the rye version because the glaze pools on the rye grain carved into the cup. It’s just lovely. It feels good on the fingers, too.

Apparently she almost sold out at the latest Claybuddies sale this weekend when a woman bought 10 of her cups. WHISKEY PARTY!!

Actually, she said she was going to serve a dessert in them instead. 😂

Claybuddies is a group of artists in Minneapolis who make incredible artwork out of clay in functional pottery, mosaics, and jewelry. Click ‘Like’ on their Claybuddies Facebook page so you’ll know when their next sale is.

I’m enjoying some Tattersall straight rye whiskey with my longtime friend -- and Kara’s husband -- Dave Austin. This whiskey is goooooood, btw. Dave and I had been trying (and failing) to find time to get together and catch up. It seemed like the planets finally aligned for us.

I love it when you get together with a good friend you haven’t seen in a long time and it feels like you’ve been talking for 10 minutes AND 4 hours at the same time. It was a great night. Cheers!

Honestly, I could not be happier with this glaze. I have used this combo many times, but after a pile of test tiles getting the application just right... so happy. The key here is the overlap. My glazes always start with three brushed coats, but I put a thin 4th layer of red over the whole piece. It doesn’t really show on the blue, but there are red flashes and rivulets that tie the two glazes together. And, of course, the iron spots made by sprinkling some brass filings on the wet glaze. I love those.

I like the shape the splash pots make when seen from the top. Pondering dessert plates. 🤔 . . . #inspireme #greenbeauty #creativelifehappylife #pottery #ceramicart #ceramicplanter #claybuddies #craft #design #craftandfolk #artisan #form #homewares #handbuiltpottery #instaart #psimadethis
