  • Quick video of the colored slip! I added 5% of spectrum’s New Bright Red stain to a porcelain slip- here I am applying it to a greenware piece. This is coat #1- I let it dry between coats and apply 3 coats total, then bisque fire. After that I apply a crystalline glaze and fire as usual. You can use other colors too- just make sure to test first since not all stains fire to all temps.

  • Okay, crystalline appreciators: what say you? This piece has a red slip layered on top of a porcelain clay with my standard crystalline glaze over that. (Yes, I’m gonna make a video!) My first thoughts are that I want to reduce the Titanium Dioxide in the glaze to really let the red shine through. (Titanium Dioxide is an opacifier and whitener that’s used in all kinds of things, including food! This glaze contains 5%.) . . . . . #crystalline #crystallineglaze #macrocrystalline #contemporaryceramics #ceramiclife #womeninceramics #loveceramic #craftsposure #contemporaryceramics #designermaker #instapottery #functionalpottery #handmadecup #potterslife #contemporaryclay #porcelain #clay #ceramic #indiecraft #pottery #claylife #atlantaartist #ceramicist #pottersofinstagram #potterystudio #studioceramics #handmadeinatlanta #atlanta #madeinatlanta
  • Okay folks, decision time: left or right?! (I’m also going to post a poll to my stories.) Winner gets shipped to the mold maker. :) . . . . . . . #slipcast #slipcasting #contemporaryceramics #ceramiclife #womeninceramics #loveceramic #craftsposure #contemporaryceramics #designermaker #instapottery #functionalpottery #handmadecup #potterslife #contemporaryclay #porcelain #clay #ceramic #indiecraft #pottery #claylife #atlantaartist #ceramicist #pottersofinstagram #potterystudio #studioceramics #handmadeinatlanta #atlanta #madeinatlanta #moldmaking #ihavethisthingwithceramics #ceramicsofinsta
  • Guys, I’ve been holding out on you: I’ve been struggling to make molds that are as crisp and perfect as I want them to be, and I’ve been talking with a professional mold maker who’s been making molds for longer than I’ve been alive about making some masters for me. Right now I’m working on designing the perfect little faceted bud vase model to send to him- once it’s done I’m going to see how it sells and go from there. I really like to learn new skills and it’s been a point of pride for me that I do almost everything in the studio myself, from changing elements to mixing glazes to carrying hundreds of pounds of clay into my studio, but with trying to make crystalline work for spring shows I just feel too busy to learn to do this properly right now, so here we are. I’ll keep you posted as things develop- I feel really excited about the palette of cone 6 glazes I’ve been developing to pair with this faceted work, and I can’t wait to have a finished product to show you all. . . . . . . #slipcast #slipcasting #contemporaryceramics #ceramiclife #womeninceramics #loveceramic #craftsposure #contemporaryceramics #designermaker #instapottery #functionalpottery #handmadecup #potterslife #contemporaryclay #porcelain #clay #ceramic #indiecraft #pottery #claylife #atlantaartist #ceramicist #pottersofinstagram #potterystudio #studioceramics #handmadeinatlanta #atlanta #madeinatlanta #ihavethisthingwithceramics #moldmaking
  • Happy belated Valentine’s Day! My boyfriend sweetly offered to pose with the flowers he got me in one of my new vases- he’s a gem. . . . . . . . #handmadevase #ihavethisthingwithceramics #potteryforall #flowervase #contemporaryceramics #ceramiclife #womeninceramics #loveceramic #craftsposure #contemporaryceramics #designermaker #instapottery #functionalpottery #handmadecup #potterslife #contemporaryclay #porcelain #clay #ceramic #indiecraft #pottery #claylife #atlantaartist #ceramicist #pottersofinstagram #potterystudio #studioceramics #handmadeinatlanta #atlanta #madeinatlanta
  • Mixed a big batch of that copper red glaze and glazed a few pieces in it- when it’s thin it gets all patchy like this and the light green of the copper shows through. This is oxidation fired to cone 6! The silicon carbide in the glaze is creating a localized reduction effect. . . . . . . #slipcast #slipcasting #contemporaryceramics #ceramiclife #womeninceramics #loveceramic #craftsposure #contemporaryceramics #designermaker #instapottery #functionalpottery #handmadecup #potterslife #contemporaryclay #porcelain #clay #ceramic #indiecraft #pottery #claylife #atlantaartist #ceramicist #pottersofinstagram #potterystudio #studioceramics #handmadeinatlanta #atlanta #madeinatlanta
  • Guys! Check out this killer glaze test I just pulled out, then swipe for the recipe. This was natural cooled in oxidation to cone 6, and I found the recipe on the glazy website- if you’re not using them as a resource you’re missing out! I’m still working to develop glazes and glaze combos to layer on these faceted pieces and I think this one is going to work nicely. . . . . . . #glazetest #glazerecipe #glazerecipes #microcrystalline #cone6 #cobaltglaze #slipcast #slipcasting #clay #porcelain #ceramics #pottery #handmade #indiecraft #instapottery #ihavethisthingwithceramics #potteryforall #atlanta #madeinatlanta #handmadeinatlanta #glaze #ceramicglaze
  • Pair of moon wine cups with cobalt + gold decals. Fell sleep last night visualizing this lavender stain paired with some of the new glazes I’ve been working on. Hoping to mix one bigger glaze batch today. . . . . . #slipcast #atlanta #pottery #clay #handmade #handmadecup #ceramics #porcelain #resisttaping #madeinatlanta #handmadeinatlanta #goldluster #potteryforall #ihavethisthingwithceramics #slipcasting #indiecraft #homedecor #handmadekitchen #winecup #winecups
