Chicago ceramics friends—im happy to drive to @beale_pottery (my happy place) if anyone is interested in signing up!

First half of test tiles are out! I have to wait to get the second half out of the kiln because the kilns too hot to lean up against (short people struggles)

Overall, I’m very happy with the results, especially the high calcium blues and the reactions they had with all the layering glazes I paired them with (odyssey white, strontium crystal magic, and a proprietary glaze I’m tentatively calling alkali chaos—still needs WAY more tests before i share it on glazy)

I’ll post again with the second half once I can get them out of the kiln!

Throwing tons of mugs as i impatiently wait for the kiln to finish.

In the winter I like throwing when the kilns on because my studio is only partially heated 🥶🥶🥶🥶

I haven’t started the migration yet, but I’m getting ready…

I hope to see you all there if you’re headed that way, potter friends.

Showing off my new throwing skills from @beale_pottery! I would say I’m throwing vessels at least twice as tall and twice as thin consistently so a HUGE thanks to Eric and Milissa for sharing knowledge

I had SO much fun at @beale_pottery at Eric’s Throwing Big Workshop. Got some super useful new techniques to keep walls thin and strong! Here is an “after / before” pic, same amount of clay!

They’re having a Raku Workshop on memorial weekend and you can bet i will be there! Milissa and Eric are amazing and have created such a warm environment to learn in. I highly recommend!

I didn’t love making glazes the first time i tried it. But it’s addictive to (kinda) have control (glazes are hard) of glaze effects. Plus kits kinda like Skyrim alchemy IRL so who can resist that really 🥰😂
