I scavenged some new-to-me pattern inspiration dur

I scavenged some new-to-me pattern inspiration during my clay conference. Starting with this amazing quilt coat worn by @randi.obrien and followed by a stop at the antique mall on my way home. Can’t wait to sketch up some new designs after an inspiring week in clay land.

My childhood road trips were full of stops for antiques. You could either sweat it out in the van or go picking with mom. I always chose the latter.

We invite you to celebrate the opening of “Even More Exuberant Ornament” in our @centurydesignworkshop gallery with us this coming Thursday, March 16th from 5 pm - 9 pm. Refreshments will be served and there will be an opportunity to meet some of the artists!

The show is a celebration of 9 artists who work with a diverse vocabulary, using clay as canvas, for layered expressions of their backgrounds and identities. This show is a part of NCECA, a national clay conference that’s in Cincinnati this week for the first time since the 1990’s!

See the NCECA page for more exhibitions and events.

Arrived! First show is installed. 🙌🏻 More pictures to come.
Meet @colleenceramics “Decorated inside and out and top to bottom, my vibrant hand painted pottery feeds my obsession for color, pattern and texture. My inspiration varies from natural realistic blooms to stylized abstract florals. Vintage textiles, feed sack florals, bold wall coverings, pressed glassware and global folk art are all part of the mix to create fresh functional heirloom quality dinnerware, home and garden decor.” Colleen’s work brings a spring garden into the gallery and we can’t think of more appropriate work to be putting on the shelves on this wintry Cincinnati day. See the work in person starting Tuesday, March 14th, and join us for the opening on Thursday, March 16th from 5 pm - 9 pm.

This kiln load is going to take two days to glaze

This kiln load is going to take two days to glaze even with the help of my trusty assistant. Lots of hand painting even at this stage, sanding, waxing, dipping, brushing. “220. 221. Whatever it takes.” Let’s hope they behave in the kiln.
See some of you next week @nceca in Cincinnati!! #exuberantornament @centurydesignworkshop #galleryexpo @gandeegallery #handpaintedpottery #bisqueware #glazefordays #studiopotter

18 mugs rolled, textured and constructed on Monday

18 mugs rolled, textured and constructed on Monday, 18 handles attached Tuesday and Wednesday a dip in porcelain slip for all. Woo hoo! I’ve never made this many mugs at once! Hope to decorate them all in the next two days and pop them in the last kiln load for @nceca Much appreciation to those who watch the full 90 second video. Over the last decade I have condensed my practice of this technique to be as quick and precise as possible. Tweaking my handle attachment to allow the slip to roll out and not pool. Adding that bit of slip at the top of the handle to prevent a pin hole there. Finding the right consistency of slip and deflocculation so the handles don’t peel off. Learning to use my left hand to dip and roll the mug so my right hand is free to touch up the excess slip.

Productive week in the studio. New work under cons

Productive week in the studio. New work under construction while the bisque waits to be glazed. Cupboards are full of pieces in process for NCECA. Look at all those teapots ready to decorate and a new teapot shape ready to fire. Not sure how I’m going to wrap it up for the weekend. Made myself a mini list of must do tasks for today. One of which is not making a reel to procrastinate. 🤦🏻‍♀️

These slab built mugs fired up a little wonky at the rim. It happens more often than I wish it would. 🙈 The texture is pressed or stamped while the slab is flat then rolled into a cylinder. The heart in the bottom faces you if your right handed.

Many of my irregular pots are headed to @handworkithaca for our seconds sale beginning February 16. However, I’m also listing some pretty decent seconds in my old Etsy shop if you can’t come to Ithaca, NY. Find these mugs there discounted 25% 🥰
