Tri-colored short pitcher


This pitcher is part of a set of handled objects I made in this batch. The handle is a little too big and feels weird in the hand. The spout was simplicity itself except that is kept me from trimming the object on the wheel because of the heigh distortion of the rim. So step 1 to making a pitcher is throw a perfect thin cylinder that doesn't need trimming (except on the foot. Then trim the pitcher on the bat so you don't need to rely on the irregular top edge.

Multi-hued soup bowl


This multi-hued soup bowl has purple, speckled ivory, hazelnut, and texturizers. I think it is porcelain.

A new batch (part2)


This is the underside of that last bowl showing the shape and exterior glaze. I think the brown is hazelnut with TX-2 applied as an overglaze. I applied TX-1 to the interior of most of the pieces in this batch and TX-2 to the exterior. Unfortunately the TX-2 peeled away in places leaving very sharp ribbons of knife-edged glass. After chipping off the larger slivers, I will need to dremel smooth the rest. I would also like to dremel down the feet of my pieces.

A new batch!


This is a soup bowl shaped piece with a crystal blue rim and a speckled ivory and shadow green interior. I love the little flecks in the speckled ivory. There is TX-1 texturizer applied as an overglaze using a syringe to create a droplet stream. I think this was thrown CKK-6 grogged porcelain.

Tri-colored black-stroked bowl


This is a wide almost plate-like bowl made from alpine white (I think.) The colors are speckled Ivory and some kind of red... there is a purple highlight and everything is dipped in shadow green I think. There are black or brown accent strokes made with a long floppy thin brush.
