View fullsize Made this vase ages ago but I have been tweaking kiln temps to try and get the right level of heat to get this glaze to run but not drip off completely. It worked… but only just. I like the mix of blue hues. This was a moving in gift for @alis

View fullsize Ahhh Bonjour drippy glaze mugs ❤️ More of my homemade glaze that’s risky and drips. But I like it. And opening the kiln is always a surprise! So I take the risk. Most pots survived and I stilted everything and put ‘cookies’ down to
View fullsize I made these by throwing black clay and light clay together, then, when leather-hard I turned the pots to reveal the swirls. They are burnished and with just a small amount of white glaze at the bottom. But mostly all raw clay on show. I finished wit

View fullsize I made some more drippy pots. These are glazed in my handmade glaze, a version of ‘floating blue’. When it works it’s glorious but it is temperamental and has ruined some kiln shelves in the process, sometimes it runs straight off t
View fullsize Lots of making recently. I’m setting myself some goals this year…. - To do at least 2 markets - To try and throw 15+ mugs in an hour (not inc prep/ turning/ handles - obvs!) I can do 10 at the moment…. But I get bored doing the
View fullsize I picked these two beauties out of the kiln this morning. Boy do they make me smile. This is the glaze that I made myself but had a kiln disaster with last month. I was scared to use it again but I thinned the glaze and was careful to do two very qui
