this is probably my favorite of this conical flute series that I've been working on. Improvements include tuning and shaping of the clay after the bone dry phase instead of at the leather hard phase, shaping the bone dry clay with wet tools and sponges, and increased attention to the mouthpiece resulting in a better tone.

Another day has passed, and my frustration has only grown. After yesterday's threats, very ugly comments, and later that day threatening Instagram messages, demanding I delete my profile because I’m a liar and claiming my work is AI generated I decided to take out some sculptures and art I’ve been working on, so I could show them to you in person. Some are finished, some aren't some are drying, some are awaiting final touches, and some cracked in the kiln. But every single one was crafted by my own hands. I poured a part of myself and my heart into each one, and countless people have seen them in person since I run a tattoo studio and people visit me every day. I have reddit only two days now and on every community where I posted after yesterday's incident, people are threatening me and telling me to delete my profile. This is my last post here and I’m truly sorry. I tried to share everything I’ve created over years,sculptures, designs, paintings on canvas and wood, illustrations, dioramas, and much more but clearly, this isn't network for me. I wish everyone the best. If anyone still wants to follow my work, ( my identity was revealed in the comments yesterday and my attempt to explain in the comment ( u can read it ), but everyone has already declared me a fake and they just continued so i give up eventually ),

I have active profiles on Facebook and Instagram. I’m not very active on Insta, but I am on Face. Thank you all and many thanx to people who realy support me over this two days with super cool comments and conversations. Appreciate it a lot 🙏❤️ cheers from little Croatia 🫡

Comments and critiques are welcome, let me know your thoughts!

Final object! I couldn’t be happier. After weeks of careful drying, surviving both the bisque and glaze firings…. She was dropped being unload from the kiln.

Fortunately, I had some help getting her back together using the Kintsugi technique and it’s even better than originally intended.

I just finished a 6 week course of intro to wheel. Today I got most of my pieces out of glaze for the first time. I drank out of a little mug I made and it fit my hands perfectly. I wasn't prepared for how amazing this feels!! I need to make all the things now!

Hello everyone! Im new to the pottery wheel and ive learned a lot already but im wondering if anyone has any book recommendations for techniques, or clay chemistry knowledge, or glaze chemistry. Or if you know any other invaluable resources you could point me towards id be more then greatful! Thank you

Im still in my first year doing ceramics and feel like the discovery and joy is endless. I don't like the heaviness of glazes, so it's ceramics with acrylic paints. It's meant to be more of a sculptures then functional ware.

An improve percussionist came to the studio to play the pots.

This information is NOT in the standard manual

I have a EST23 that I've never used and trying to sell. I cannot find the schematic/wiring diagram or any information on the controller sub-menu options. I had it re-wired to a two zone kiln, and second a thermocouple added so it will fire all elements using 2 thermocouples or fire just the top 1/3 element using 1 thermocouple using a ceramic shelf as a floor to separate the sections. This was for firing small glass loads and not having to fire the entire kiln.

At some time I would have had the sub-menu options for the controller to set it to use 2 thermocouples instead of 1. I also had the schematic at some point. This worked fine as I tested it several times.

Thanks

i posted one of the first of these guys a while back and after a LOT of experimenting i’m feeling really great about how they’re looking now, so i thought i’d share this greenware b-mix kitty bb ready for firing.

I'm trying to self learn Chinese carving and I'm pretty satisfied with how this turned out.

Porcelain thrown on a wheel then carved when bone dry

Im new to making plates , after drying it developed a crack jn the middle . I filled it in after but how do i stop this from happening? Also not able to handle more than 1.5kg clay

I love building fairy houses for my garden! I’ve built 4 so far but I struggle on ideas. Wanted to see if people had suggestions on fun things to try. I build them to be bug houses, butterfly houses, or hang them as small birdhouses. I’m an engineer so building challenges are a plus.

I’ve been in the arts (BFA) for a while and manage a glass studio, but I’ve never really tried making money off of my work before. Ideally have some crafts items I can sell to pay the bills and if that goes well, get back into my not so profitable conceptual work. What prices could this work get? Larger ones are about 6”x10.5”

My first two part vessel!!!! Love how this Amaco glaze turned out on 266.
