I truly sacrificed to create this ridiculous mug. biting clay is a bad sensory experience 😔 who would have guessed

I’m tempted not to glaze the bite marks so it looks like it was bitten through the glaze lmao

And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.

Ceramic Car Coating | MOD Auto Detailing - Bentleigh East

When it comes to protecting your car and keeping it looking flawless, ceramic coating is one of the most effective solutions available today. It’s not just a trend but a proven technology that offers long-lasting benefits for car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike.

What Is Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to a car’s exterior surfaces. Once cured, it forms a strong, protective layer that bonds with the paint. Unlike traditional waxes or sealants, ceramic coatings provide durable protection that lasts for years, not months.

The Top Benefits of Ceramic Coating

1. Superior Protection from the Elements

Ceramic coatings act as a shield against harmful UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings, and other environmental contaminants. This layer helps prevent oxidation and fading, keeping your car’s paintwork in pristine condition.

2. Hydrophobic Properties

One of the most remarkable features of ceramic coatings is their hydrophobic nature. This makes water bead and slide off effortlessly, taking dirt and grime with it. Cleaning your car becomes quicker and easier—a significant time-saver for busy drivers.

3. Enhanced Gloss and Shine

Ceramic coatings amplify the depth and clarity of your car’s paint, delivering a mirror-like finish that stands out on the road. It’s the ultimate way to achieve that “showroom look.”

4. Resistance to Minor Scratches

While ceramic coatings aren’t scratch-proof, they provide a level of hardness that reduces the risk of minor scratches and swirl marks caused by routine washing and daily use.

5. Long-Term Investment

Ceramic coatings eliminate the need for regular waxing and polishing. Though the upfront cost might be higher, the long-term savings and convenience make it a worthwhile investment.

Is Ceramic Coating Right for You?

Ceramic coating is ideal for anyone who wants to:

Protect their car’s paint from wear and tear.

Maintain a stunning, glossy finish.

Save time and effort on maintenance.

(about this guy)

a kiln god is a small clay sculptural creature that stays on/in/near a kiln while it’s firing, to watch over the pottery inside and protect it

mine are all vaguely humanoid and holding pottery, but they can be anything

a lot of people leave their kiln gods unglazed, and only ever make one or two. because I work with a shared kiln, my kiln gods have to be inside the kiln so they don’t get bumped or broken, so it makes more sense to glaze them and keep making more

(^this one I kept, she lives on my pottery desk)

people have lots of little traditions around kilns and pottery. there are so many variables to successfully finishing a piece of pottery, and many of the steps are out of our control. it’s nice to have a kiln god watching over our work

if you take a pottery class, your teacher might mention the kiln gods. for some potters/studios they’re more of a concept than anything physical

what can I say, humans just love to make little guys
