Yes, we definitely have them. In fact, a Nazi from WW2 received a standing ovation in our House of Commons (like the US Congress) by our Federal government shortly after the start of the Russia-Ukraine war. Canada is tragically not safe from this level of disgrace. I USED to be proud to be Canadian.

I love porcelain for its smooth texture, whiteness and ability to build really thin. The whiteness in particular works so well for staining (colored clay) and as the ideal canvas for decorating. All that said, it is such a diva.

Perfect (or not?) for dieters. So fun!

No doubt it planted a seed, curious what that might grow into

I was thinking that has potential as a sculptural element

Thanks! I think it's a winner!

I have tried this but despite my best efforts, minute warping (porcelain 🙄)of the mouth guarantees leakage. So I bought a mini wheel to make tiny bottomless cylinders as openings to join to the slab built bodies. Still not *quite* right...

Wow look at this beauty! And is there a drainage notch in the footring under the handle? Love that feature, so kind for the user 👍

When I look at your pots I like to try to identify the script letter used, sometimes it's tricky, but this one escapes me. Is it a deviation from your usual cursive stencils? Stunning as always.

How you embellished the clay with fur & fabric makes so much sense. Such depth! ❣️

Still not really clear on the diff's btwn engobe & underglaze. Not a chemistry person, but open to experimenting. You could be right

Yes Mayco stroke and coat. The intention for the primer is something that has a glass former in it, with a low melt temp. This will fuse the underglaze and the clay together. At least in theory.
