How agateware looks when bisqued vs fired. Tbe difference in saturation and contrast is always sharp and beautiful.

The real secret to making really marble-like agateware is just reversing the wheel when throwing. This allows you to get some pretty much nerokomi like patterns on thrown pieces with some practice.

Some recent oil bottles I made. I really love how the marbled pattern is turning out, and they look so good with the high gloss glaze.

This is an older video I dug up, one of my earlier agateware pieces once I had my proccess nailed down. The mug came out so well, that this may be the piece that convinced me to switch from experimenting to making a whole bunch of these.

I've been away from the wheel too long, 2 weeks straight. Last night I was able to get back to the space, throw some pots, and grab this mug. Mugs are never the fanciest thing to make, but they're fun and simple at least.

I like this view of throwing. It gives a really good idea of what my hands are doing, since the inside is just as important as the outside. This will be an oil bottle, and as with all my agateware clay, was pretty uncooperative.

Some orange marble/agate mugs. These have a pretty small or fine pattern, I think maybe a little too fine. The bottoms look amazing though.

The trimming process for a red and white agateware/marbled vase. This is the step where the contrast really shows up, and you get to appreciate the pattern you made.

New marbling technique. I call this 'second-pass' marbling. You take the trimmings of other marbles pots, and throw a new pot with them. Creates a much more busy, chaotic, and natural pattern. I like it. Excited to see what it looks like fired.

Some more oil bottles. These still had the crazing issue on the exterior, but a different glaze on the interior is fine and food safe.

Finally got to trimming those new marbled bottles. I really love how the patterns popped after. It's always a nightmare to try and trim their bottoms too, but usually I can get it done with some effort.

Live footage from Jupiter/the bottom of a new batch of mugs.

New oil bottles. I have mixed feelings on the pattern (I think it's too small and spiraly) but they're pretty anyways.

I'm getting really good at these tall narrow necked bottles. Really love how the pattern and shape on these are turning out.

This is a semi-historical recreation of a tuscan marbleware piece from circa 1650. The technique used is my default one, so not similar to how those were made, but of a similar shape, which I thought was interesting.

Some purple mug pictures, including how they look at the leather hard stage. I lobe how much more vibrant they end up once glazed and fired.

The trimming process for some of my marble mugs. I love how the patterns show after the slip gets trimmed away. The process for trimming the bottom of these is kind of a nightmare, and can go well or not, depending on how cooperative the pieces are.

Look at the distinctive swirls and colours of her “Scotian Pebble” ware. A pioneer of studio pottery in Nova Scotia, Hagen was also an acclaimed china painter, a passionate teacher and a successful entrepreneur. She continued to make and sell pottery at her Mahone Bay studio into her 90s.

An orange marbled oil bottle. As with the recent red one, it may be a bit too busy, so I need to have a lighter touch when wedging in the future. I think the bottom looks pretty killer though, so the real pot heads out there will probably dig it.

25 years in the outskated made you a fucking agateware!

An unedited 3 minutes of me throwing a mug. As with all my agateware, it really doesn't look like I know what I'm doing since the clay is uneven in terms of moisture and hardness. Anyways, it's still fun to do.

New oil bottle. This one was also affected by the cracking issue, but should be ok for liquids. I think the pattern may be a bit busy. I'm sure it'll find a loving home with someone who likes it tho. Maybe with a firefighter.

Orange mug. This one has a seperate glaze on the inside, so won't need re-firing with a painted on interior glaze to make it food safe.

New mugs. This one is red/pink/white. I think I'm not the biggest fan of this gradient technique as it lowers contrast, but I'm sure someone still loves it. Also some issues with the glaze, probably just a bit too thick.

This is my first large agateware piece since my recent haitus. Trowing something this large, with clay at 2 seperate moisture levels was tough. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out tho, and I didn't waste too much clay, ~6 lb. The marbling came out good too.
