Instagram Story Save

I’ve loved watching the Instagram community come together in support of the woman who wrote this song and her son. It’s proof of what we are capable of when we come together. ✨
Anyway, here’s a Timelapse of me filling up some molds! It takes about 25 gallons of slip to fill all the molds I have in production right now. That number goes up and down depending on the time of year, what products I am focusing on, etc. All of the slip except the hardened “shell” that will become the finished piece is dumped back in the tank and used again.

I am on a little break from ceramics right now, and I am starting to miss being in the studio! Excited to get back in the mud and make some magic rainbow pottery ✨✨

INTRODUCING THE RAIN CLOUD WATERING BELL! The MOST aesthetic way to water your plants. Get one or gift one this holiday season, releasing soon 😍🌧

I put these in my stories last night but it was really fun to display the final pieces alongside the original inspo image so I decided it deserved a place on my feed too!

I start all my combos with reference images. I’ve actually made 200+ test tiles of underglazes or mixed underglazes recipes that I digitized using a calibrated color reader, so I can color match as close as possible to said reference image. This method is maybe overkill, but it’s helped me really understand commercial underglazes and their application. Given how well the final pieces match the inspo, I think my method worked!

Which one is your favorite??

Oh btw these are all coming to my website today at 3pm pacific 😘

Wax is magic! I wax the base of these plates so they resist the glaze, leaving an unglazed area that prevents them from fusing to the kiln shelves during firing.

Also yes, that is me squishing the bucket so that the plate fits without hitting the sides 🤣 it works perfectly.

Pasta plate preorders open today 3/10 at 5pm pacific time! Get your orders in while you can 😘

PASTA PLATE PREORDER IS TOMORROW (3/10 @5pm PDT) YA’LL AND I JUST ADDED THIS COLOR TO THE OPTIONS! You truly can’t go wrong with a rainbow. 🌈
