one of my first forays into underglaze transfers! the flowers are the transfer, I wanted to combine them with sgraffito.

A little ceramic barn owl! The painted patterns are inspired by motifs found on old New England gravestones.

Skyphos number two! Inspired by the very talented @hellenhighwater ‘s Minotaur sculpture, a painting by Flandrin, a sculpture by Paul Cabet, and a very handsome charolais bull from Google images.

Strawberry Bowl! Thrown on the wheel and hand-painted with underglaze by me.

Progress pics under the cut.

This was probably 30 hours of work (maybe? I don’t really count, but there were at least two nights staying up too late painting).

I also spent a while yesterday learning Affinity Photo to edit these, in an attempt to get away from Photoshop. I learned a lot! Though I ended up taking new photos rather than using the one I spent the most time on.

This was all painted with Western underglaze. Throwing, glazing, and firing were all done at my local community center’s pottery studio.

I’m so thrilled with how my Tress of the Emerald Sea cup came out! I did a photoshoot for it.

studio classes have been kicking my ass this term so i haven't had a lot of time to make art for myself, but! i have some stuff from my ceramics class i'm excited to share!

these little guys have been bisque fired and painted with underglaze - the jackalope should come out a fair bit darker than it looks right now, but the foxes are pretty spot-on for color!

this mug is still waiting to be bisque fired, and once it is the grey-brown color should (hopefully) turn a kind of purple-blue - i mixed two engobes together, which can have unpredictable effects, so fingers crossed lol. i got the idea for the technique from @claypigeonpottery - i've always loved jackalopes and auroras both, and was really inspired by some of their pieces!

Magnets! Too many on here to list out prices and characters and sizes, but please let me know if you’re curious.

Things to know:

- the sherds have very thin magnets attached, so they lay quite flat. The dog in the middle and the two glazed ones (one to the right of the dog and the one in the bottom middle) stick up a little. I just used different magnets for those; they work exactly the same.

- the figure on the top left (also my profile picture) comprises 3 magnets that are a set, and the figure below him to the right of the carved magnet is a set of 2.

Here is one of my latest ceramic pieces! I love how much vibrant color and fine detail I’m able to put into pieces like this! I use underglaze to get the colors and patterns and then use a clear glaze on top to give it that glossy glass like finish.

Skyphos number one! Inspired by a sculpture by Thorvaldsen, a rooster from Google, and my dog who is purportedly a chihuahua but looks like that.
