My demo whistle for a recent workshop—It was fun to teach this project and see people’s surprise when their whistles started working!

One of my final projects from this semester! Three Yuan dynasty vessels recreated based on Ilkhanid illustrations. •A spouted bowl (known as a Yi) •A stemed cup •A bowl

Some new celadon experiments from this summer!

Crabby apples + baseball sized hail = DESTRUCTION

I’ve been experimenting with texture, and these cups are some of the first results! The second one has subtle purple stripes which remind me of a record (I have never actually held a record so take this with a grain of salt).

I’m trying to finish a bunch of pieces before the end of the semester, so here’s another pot!

These mugs came out of the kiln earlier today, and I keep picking them up just to play with the texture on the surface :)

Louise from the 1991 classic ✨Thelma and Louise✨. Scroll back for some process pics!

This bowl started out as an experiment to try and emulate Monet’s later paintings in celadon. Now, looking at the photos, I’m struck by the way the colors disguise the bowl’s depth. Bonus black and white pic because it looks like the moon :)

I thought this pot was a goner before it went through the glaze kiln. Turns out Ancient Jasper can cover a multitude of sins.

This vase is one of my favorite pieces to come out of the kiln so far! The red clay is super easy to burnish and I’m having a great time experimenting with it.
