Quiet street, wet sidewalk, nighttime. Huge trees, red lights illuminate their leaves
Spooky war-ravaged #Portland bids Bluesky goodnight 🎃👻

I guess it depends how one defines failure. They’re lovely

First, I know this feeling and it sucks. FWIW I think your work is beautiful. Can you refire any of it?

That’s insane! So good!

I’m excited! I’ve been a wheel potter for most of my life
An asymmetrical curved, four-sided form in greenware (unfired) clay with hard edges, standing just over a foot tall
Hard slab building! Learning/trying some new stuff. Greenware cone 10 Lincoln 60 fireclay #pottery #potteryprocess #ceramics #decorativeceramics #clay #art #sculpture #potterysky #artist #abstract #form #portland #portlandceramics
Six thrown and trimmed demitasse cups in beige-green clay with pronounced throwing rings
The same six cups with generous looped handles on a work table in front of a pink-tinted window
About to handle some cups/same cups with handles #pottery #ceramics #clay #functionalceramics #smallbatchpottery #wheelthrown #potterysky #portland #pdx
But also, if one in five persons did identify as transgender that’s an awful lot of humans to subject to repression and discrimination.
Eeee! I got name checked by my favorite antifascist friend IRL! World’s On Fire Truck did look pretty great. And because 100 percent of the proceeds from my antifascist mugs are being donated, we are sending $100 to @democracyforward.org #antifascist #ceramics #pottery #potterysky

Getting a little obsessive with this design #pottery #ceramics #potterysky #design #originalart #functionalceramics #cats #wip
Side by side before and after. In the first photo the base glazes are pale green and beige and the black glaze is dark rust red. The after shows hues of pale copper green, yellow rust, dark turquoise, and moss black
A fun before and after of a #cone10reduction fired small vase. First layer is Steven Hill matte turquoise, then Anderson Ranch oribe, and the squiggles are Candace Black. I love how these glazes interact. #ceramics #pottery #potterysky #potter #wheelthrown #portland #pdx #portlandpottery
Shino glazed bowl with brushed turquoise accent. Though this is a “white” shino the colors range from bronze to deep burnished red

So sorry to hear this 💔
A clay platter, unfired and unglazed, loosely oval or leaf shaped with thin clay bands “dividing” the platter with loose, easy organic lines
I’ve thrown many platters but I haven’t handbuilt them before now. 🙂

Soooo I’ve been taking a hand-building class.

Oh but YES
Two freshly thrown midsized planters in brown clay on a shelf
Planters are satisfying. #ceramics #pottery #pottersofbluesky #portlandpottery #pdx #clay
But her hip is … well not anatomically possible
who is this oddly formed ai generated human???! What happened to her hip?!?!
She’s all spritzes and speckles, like someone tried to tie dye her but did a terrible job
Facts! But since this is my pottery account here’s the studio cat visiting the handbuilding class #cats #studiocat #ceramics #pottery #potterysky #hamdbuilding
This is gorgeous
