Grogged stoneware has some lovely qualities but you need to use ribs to throw with or you'll end up with no skin on your fingers

Results of pre-bisque drying. Lovely dry pots. Overnight programme 65°C/hr to 85° hold 4 hours. Total power used 1.1kWh!!! Cost 8.8pence!! And no fear of pots exploding in bisque firing.

Stacking the small kiln to dry out greenware. Drying programme: 65°C/hr to 85°C then hold for 4 hours. I do this overnight to make most efficient use of the national grid. Night rate for electricity is 1/4 of day time rate, so also much cheaper.

Pre-heating greenware to ensure it is dry enough to bisque fire. The weather has been cold and damp for so long, I can't be sure work will be dry. Damp pots can explode if the bisque firing progresses too quickly and water vapour can't escape.

Trying a new flanged bowl form in #porcelain. Always tempting to push it just that little bit further ... 😄

I'm really warming to this platform. There are great posts by so many artists making their point in all sorts of visual and verbal ways. Really hoping we can replace IG here

For those of you struggling to find the 'animo' to get started again. Try giving the studio a lovely deep clean 😉

Do you want to listen to an angry potter speak personally and eloquently for fifteen minutes about the inextricable relationship between art and politics as it applies to the current fascist United States? Excellent, come with me…

large sage porcelain bowl with hakeme decoration. I love the hakeme technique, it adds such dynamism.
I hope BlueSky will become a new home from home for we refugees from Meta et al. We must build our communities.

Lots of new clay people coming over to Bluesky lately, so I've added a much more to my clay starter pack. I know I'm missing a lot of people still, so add more in the comments if you see that I've missed some! go.bsky.app/F9B8tPp #clay #ceramics #clayartists

a small #hakeme #stoneware bowl. I just love texture and the organic earthiness of this style of work, although I do a lot in #porcelain as well.

Porcelain with coloured porcelain decoration and clear glaze. I call this collection 'Winter'. Inspired by a recent trip to Norway - snow covered coastal hills with tracks and vegetation seen through the mists.
