I tested Mayco's Purple Mint pottery glaze fired at ##cone10reduction. Most commercial glazes only work well up to cone 5 or 6. The clay is Laguna Toshi #porcelain casting slip.

I use a lot of colored slips to decorate my pottery. These were dried out, so I had to add water to bring them back to life.

A typical day for me at the studio making pottery art. I'm always doing too much.

Cat mug inspired by @forestceramicco.bsky.social : They make it look easy. It isn't easy. Check out @ForestCeremicCo on Insta. Basic slip casting is easy. This is advanced slip casting.

Is it a tealight candleholder, a coin dish, an ashtray? Who knows? It's up to you! When your medication sesh is over, just pop it in the dishwasher and no one is the wiser. Because it's no one's business but your own.

This is prolly the only before and after video I've ever done where it's the same pot in the before and in the after. I got the finished pot back from the final firing two and a half weeks after I did the sgraffito and painting, and that's a superfast turn around time for pottery.

...immediately I knew that I already knew how to do that.
They make it look easy. One could easily think that slip casting is easy. Basic slip casting is easy. This is advanced slip casting.
The first step is to add Mason stains to color the slip.

This is my favorite kind of pottery to make. The process was inspired by Forest Ceramic Co. In 2020 I watched my first video by them. He lifted a plaster mold off a pot to reveal a wonderful scene created with bright rainbow colors and I had never seen any pottery like it, and

These are time-lapse, sped up videos of me doing sgraffito on my pottery. Hopefully I get better at filming with the neck phone holder.

It's super awkward wearing the neck phone holder to film while I make pottery, but I love watching process videos, so I will make more.

I used a DiamondCore tool to do sgraffito on my pottery. This mug is slipcasted from a vase mold by Jennifer Spring Ceramics on Instagram. I just didn't fill the mold all the way up. The handle mold is from a Mayco soup mug mold.
I'm going to keep making more similar mugs until I get bored.

This is a kinda sorta before and after, because the mugs in this video are not the same but similar. For Summer 2025 I'm pushing myself out of my cool colors comfort zone and working with mostly warm colors. This is a series of warm colored mushroom pots.

I make tealight candleholders to test my pottery glazes. My pottery is fired at cone 10, so most commercial glazes won't work. Some Mayco glazes look amazing at cone 10 reduction.
This is Mayco's Stoned Denim on porcelain

A skipped round off the ground is probably what caused this 40mm foam baton round to penetrate deeply into the leg of British photojournalist Nick Stern ( @plasticjesusart.bsky.social ) yesterday in LA.
