These suckers have run through the kiln a total of 4 times. Once for bisque and 3 more for glaze coats. I didn’t think the glaze covered well enough until the last one. This glaze needs to be layed on super...
The Blue Feather project will be a hopefully ongoing project for us. Basically the idea is we’re crafting pendants with a Blue Feather, representing the LGBT populace. I thought they might also be a great way to experiment with new materials and techniques, and also be a fun way to get people who haven’t really...
We’re doing a glaze fire, but going to Cone 04 for this one. We’ve noticed that the stuff in the top of the kiln appears to be less fully fired than the stuff in the bottom so we’re testing out a little higher temp for this one. Witness cones from the firing. The little one...

I did quite a lot with those paints, so terrible and great 🙂 I had previously...

This past few weeks we have been doing a bit of experimenting with re-glazing ceramic objects we’ve found at dollar stores and thrift stores. This is mosly the hus-monkey’s project and doing… but thrifting is fun so I’ve been helping choose items and will hopefully paint a few. We’re trying things that are both just...
Most of the contents of this firing are experimental objects. Ceramic objects we’ve found at thrift and dollar stores. There is one piece in here that was a normal bisque painting (blue and yellow bowl to match the soup spoon I had...
So I signed up for Reddit Secret Santa “Ugly Mugs” because obviously I would.. and this year my recipient is somebody from the UK who listed amongst her interests Pokemon and Makeup… so I decided to combine the two concepts. I went with the other interpritation of ugly mug (as in ugly face) borrowing inspiration...
