Trying something new. This thread will be the catch all for buying/selling/promotion for stuff. Same rules apply as everywhere else.

The only major rule change is that drop shipping or products of that ilk are not allowed. If you see something suspicious, report it. I will see it.

Work in progress Movable Dragon Prototype

Upvotes

As much as I hate 3D printed dragons, I do kinda like the idea of them, just not how they’re all basically the same uniform thing. So this is my first (and messy) attempt of a moving dragon sculpture, it all went mostly smoothly, but for my next one I’m testing out metal for the joints instead of making the rings by hand. I also plan to try to make smaller ones as well.

My plan for glazing is to use underglazes, and to maybe clear glaze over them in certain places that I can.

Leaf tiles I made recently! Standard Clays Dark Brown Stoneware with Standard Clays English Porcelain Slip, glazed with Celadon, ∆10 reduction. I usually do wheel throwing, so this was a fun departure.

One my favorite projects, a wedge of the LA ‘river’, I also took photos of the tagging in the area and created overglaze decals as a part of the glazing. Mostly underglazes otherwise and spot clear.

Recently getting back into ceramics. Focused learning jewelry making and Metalsmithing for a while but now I’m trying to pull all the media together so they engage and have a dialogue. I see everything as sculpture, including my wearables. Here’s an example, I hope you enjoy it!

Question/Advice Commission Project

I inherited this tiered dish from my grandmother. It has been out for every holiday for 50 years. I broke the base that the tiers stand on and am devastated. I have contacted the local ceramics places asking if anyone would be willing to make a new base for it. No one was interested. It doesn’t need to be the same shape or size or color, just something that would look good. It only needs a hole on top large enough for the bolt to go through.
Is there any other place I could look to get a custom piece done? Someone on Etsy? I can’t bear to throw this away.

Underglaze error. Help!

Thumbnail

I used the shell pink design colours underglaze by walker ceramics, and this was the result I got when fired to stoneware.

I applied a stoneware gloss on top.

Why did this happen? Would this happen if I applied an earthenware glaze?

Any advice?

I’ve been doing pottery for almost 2 years now (on and off) and I’ve been making mostly just Shiba Inu potteries. Pics go from recent to older pieces >>>

Here’s how my style has improved through the process ! I just wanted to showcase my work to the community. Any constructive feedback welcomed! Thank you

Mozaik

Upvotes

Cao,
Interesuje me oprema i proces izrade mozaika.
Ono sto sam gledao i sto mi se svidja jeste keramicki mozaik. U vezi sa tim imam par pitanja:
\- gde se nabavljaju plocice, secice, ona velika sprava za rezanje? Ima masa tih stvari na netu, zato pitam za preporuku?
\- na sta se lepi i koji se lepak koristi?
\- ako zelimo da uramimo, da li onda ide neka drvena podloga i koja?
\- da li je potrebna neka specijalna fuga?

Kao pocetniku, svaka informacija bi znacila.

Stonewear Japanese dishes- safe to use?

Anyone able to give a date estimate on this dishware, or whether or not it is likely to be safe to use? (Concerned about lead/cadmium paint or other harmful components)

Thanks!

Delftware-inspired teapot glaze (pre-kiln). First time trying!

My partner and I visited a local coffee shop/ceramics workshop today. They had a bunch of pre-made designs and shapes but I wanted something a little more unique. Wasn’t sure what to do at first, but I saw some blue and white porcelain motifs on the demo pieces and wanted to give it a go. They helped me water down the blue glaze and I used a slightly darker shade for the details. Just wanted to share because I was pleasantly surprised by the result. Will update when it’s been fired!

What glaze is this?

Post image
Upvotes

Hi all, I’m new to ceramics and was wondering how to achieve something similar to what is pictured. I’ve made a few things out of black clay (Ironstone), and think they’d look great with this sort of effect.

What glaze and how should I apply it to get this effect? Thanks!
