Tests on porcelain and dark clay in the soda kiln (both barbaras green over metallic black) love how the soda is with details in the porcelain… happy to share recipes! #potteryofbkuesky #pottersofbluesky #glaze #handmadepottery #pottery #ceramics #art

My first and only sale so far in Philadelphia…., excited for my first time selling at the Swarthmore Makers Market in May :) #potteryofbkuesky #pottersofbluesky #glaze #handmadepottery #pottery #ceramics #art #swarthmore

Will be glazing one or both of these clocks next week, excited to see how they turn out! #potteryofbkuesky #pottersofbluesky #glaze #handmadepottery #pottery #ceramics #art

Here is another mirror frame, glaze wiped off the edges, like this effect but want the clay even darker :) #potteryofbkuesky #pottersofbluesky #glaze #handmadepottery #pottery #ceramics #art

Interested in exploring this metallic bronze glaze combo more, like the dark crystal texture as a nighttime background… #potteryofbkuesky #pottersofbluesky #glaze #handmadepottery #pottery #ceramics #art

Newly glazed mirror frame, not the colors i expected… not sure if i love it…what do you all think? #potteryofbkuesky #pottersofbluesky #glaze #handmadepottery #pottery #ceramics #art

Glazing my first trilobite mugs, going for a waxed, dark clay on the trilobites with a drippy glaze from the rim… hoping to maje a bunch of these for a craft market in early May :)

Really happy with how these drippy glaze combinations look on the dark toasty clay :) #potteryofbkuesky #pottersofbluesky #glaze #handmadepottery #pottery #ceramics #art

Sharing one of the incredibly beautiful pieces by Mami Kato that was shown at the Swarthmore College campus gallery… painting on rice paper, fibers manipulated to create negative spaces…

Another planter that im happy with, this was one was the one with metallic black and barbara’s green on the rim… excited to see more glaze results tomorrow night! #potteryofbkuesky #pottersofbluesky #glaze #handmadepottery #pottery #ceramics #art

Some of my planter’s glazed up nicely! Here is the one with blue ash over sweet cream.. got sone beautiful blue drips off the rim :) #pottery #ceramic #glaze #art #decorative

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Glaze test - mulu blue over shirley shino, wax details, add miraculous black (makes metallic bronze crystals, hopefully!) #potteryofbkuesky #pottersofbluesky #glaze #handmadepottery #pottery #ceramics

Brooks et al. show that the cooperative activity of transcription factors NKX2.2 and KLF4 dictates pancreatic islet α-cell identity and function, contrary to their role in determining β-cell identity in pancreatic islet β cells. Learn more here: ➡️ tinyurl.com/gd352193

Glazed one of my mirror frames last night with a combination of nadia’s black celadon, mulu blue and mello salt… happy to share recipes! #ceramics #pottery #art #glaze

Glazing night! #ceramics #pottery #glaze #art

Excited to introduce students in my course to data on blood cell differentiation as they begin to design independent research projects! Photo shows a marker of the early blood cell lineage (green) in the larval head of our model organism Ciona robusta…the pink marker indicated heart lineage cells…

This applies to many other stores and online sites (whole foods, google, facebook/instagram, etc) plenty to do instead of shopping and browsing on Friday :) #activism #diversity #inclusion

So happy with how the first planter turned out! … check back in my posts if you want to know the glaze combination, happy to also share recipes :)

Kiln opening with the fantastic Bob Deane! #pottery #ceramics #kiln #glaze #art

Its official, kiln unloading around 12:30 today! Excited to share some pics!

Pancreatic cancer killed my mom back in 2010. This rules.

Third glazed planter (and saucer), this time I applied 2 coats of metallic black on the rim, then a strip of wax resist and two coats of barbara’s green…super excited to see how these turn out… the kiln might be opened tomorrow! #ceramic #pottery #art #craft #glaze #handmade

Recently saw this update www.nature.com/articles/d41... on Car-T cancer therapy, an incredibly promising approach for curing cancer, using the immune system to target cancer cells. This breakthrough was made possible by federal research funding. To learn more check out www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Another planter/saucer pair glazed and ready for the gas kiln! For this set, first coat of shirley shino, outer coat of sweet cream then dipped the rim in blue ash. Excited by the crackling of the blue ash glaze in the saucer.. will post the result next week! #ceramics #pottery #art #clay #glaze

Most of the planters are now glazed :). This one, along with its saucer, has a coat of shino, then a stripe of wax resist just below the rim, followed by a coat of glossy blue (mulu blue) , and another coat half way down of a glossy green (barbaras green)… excited to see how it turns out!

Working on some planters, here is one sent to bisque last week, should be ready for glazing tonight :) #ceramics #pottery #art #clay

Excited for our upcoming seminar featuring Dr. Joe Zackular from UPenn who studies the impact that gut microbes have on humam health! Such a fascinating topic, super excited to learn more about the critical interactions between microbes and the cells lining our digestive tract! www.zackularlab.org

Another inspiring tea bowl from the Philadelphia International Tea bowl exhibit. This beautiful piece was crafted by Claire Landais #ceramics #pottery #art #clay #woodfired
