Not A Lemon Pottery

Glaze tests are posted in an IG story highlight. Here are some of the better ones.

I got my glaze experiments back from and naturally my studio assistant wanted to help me organize the information. Studio assistant has an additional 8% post-glaze casualties. I'll post some of the good ones soon and include the rest in a story highlight.

I finally brought a batch to for bisque fire. The studio assistant has introduced a new layer of chaos to glazing. At this stage we're at 6% studio assistant casualties, that I know about at least.

It only took 3 months for the last bit of equipment to arrive but the pottery studio is now completely set up.

I'm still waiting for one more piece of equipment then I'll show the final setup. I do have enough to start making a mess so I've started reminding myself how to throw. I hadn't thrown since before the pandemic started so, as expected, this will take time and not always be pretty. Luckily I also need to learn how a whole different set of glazes interact too so all pieces will be glaze tests for a while.

I should finish setting up the pottery studio this week. Here's the before...and my studio assistants.

I've been unpacking for nearly a week but I finally found these. Gandalf by and wall hanging by .lotfi. Now...where to put them...

Every so often, when scrolling through other potters postings I scroll ALL the way down to before they figured out their style. It's amazing to see their art evolve and continue to refine but there's nothing so dramatic as when they first settle it to some style that "clicks". My page doesn't have that so here's a bit of a flavor. The first picture is the new thing I was trying with the style that "clicked" for me. The second is the very first inkling of that style (with engobe and dark clay vs. glaze), and the last is a blurry image of literally the first two pieces I made when I started doing pottery in 2012. Pottery, and all art, is a development process that takes years of learning a craft and how you reflect that craft as an artist.

One day I'll be back at the studio... @ Los Angeles, California
