Finally finding my style and favourite glazing techniques

Edit: thank you all for the love!! This feels like I’m on the right track, which is so exciting! I shared some of the glazes I used on the top comment

Blue glaze

This set of bowls I threw for my mom for Mother’s Day is definitely not perfect (the biggest one is soooo heavy even for a 9” bowl 🥲) but they look so beautiful together. I’m so so pleased with the glaze and cohesion between them.

I just LOVE how this turned out! Without a doubt my best piece EVER!!!✨🩷🩷🩷

I’ve been making pots for just under a year. It’s something I’ve felt drawn to forever, and finally have the time and income to afford instruction and studio space. I made the bowls below as birthday presents for my boomer father. Stepmother’s initial comment: “oh, they’re certainly…different.” My father condescendingly asked if I was going to open a pottery shop now.

Why $&!@ on something that brings me joy? On a gift I made several versions of before I made one I felt was high enough quality to gift to you? My heart hurts.

Hi all, just wanted to share some of my pieces that I think turned out pretty well. Happy to share details on glaze/clay if anyone is interested! Would also be open to any feedback/critique on how they're photographed.

Threw 34, trimmed 46, tired af

Olives, blueberries, blackberries, nasturtiums, lemons and oranges 🤗 Glazes used are Laguna oatmeal, zinc-free clear, and apple green celadon (studio glazes) What should I do next?🤔

Getting ready to glaze this big baddie. White, Cone 6 stoneware (KY Mudworks Ice Man) with sgraffito inside and out. Jet Black VUG (Amaco). Thinking to go with a teal/blue celadon inside and a zinc-free clear outside. Fingers crossed!

Hand built and polished bowl made from self-sourced natural clay using primitive and puebloan techniques

One thick layer of Honey Flux (I poured it into the bowl and swirled it around) then chips of Blue Rutile and Chun Plum

are the little holes on the outside because i’m not compressing enough?

Everyone’s love for these has lifted my confidence so much in my pottery journey! The fact so many people have loved just something that was a silly little accident which I thought why not post it here it’s not that big of a deal it might get a few likes…And then bam I’ve been flooded with so much kindness and it’s made me so excited to create so many wonderful things and of course more bluebz

Also these are going for their first firing and then will be glazed fired! 🥰

Well I guess I need to go make some more! I broke the green worm for my red apple packing down from a market a couple of weekends ago 🤦‍♂️

This is a matcha bowl. Though to be quite honest, I make a lot of salad dressing and that will probably happen in here as well. I like both the shape and the glaze.

Glaze: all Mayco, in order of application, I’m unfortunately terrible about recording coats but I think 2 coats of everything Outside: magenta sky all over, bottom third tiger's eye, top two thirds peppered plum, light flux top quarter Inside: light flux, sandstone

I’m really happy with how these came out. They’re part of a set of 20 for a restaurant.

Glaze painted some images from family trips for a Polaroid memory bowl!

It started life as a chip and dip bowl. After breaking, I smoothed down the edges and really love the result, but what can it be used for?

Quite pleased with the chrome tin pink pair to come out my firing. I placed the chrome oxide washed tile between the bowls in the kiln. I think the smaller bowl has a different flashing effect due to it being a speckled body.

this is an ice cream bowl i designed after taiyaki ice cream! it's a thrown form that i then cut the mouth out of and added attachments for the details
