Look at what just came out of the kiln!
This is a brand new design. also new; using porcelain instead of stoneware for the first time-because a tile like this should be fancy.
more coming soon--waiting for the kiln to cool off.

I just got home after an action packed workshop at Arrowmont with Lisa Orr--a potter and educator whose work I have admired for some time. She is also the inventor of the Rocket Kiln- a simple and extremely clean and efficient way to wood fire pottery using things that might otherwise go into a landfill.
For you potters: we fired to cone ^10 in less than 6 hours!!! -that's really hot, really fast

I just finished making a mould for my new tile design---it's a goat 'admiring' a corn plant.
Mould on the left-sloppy test press with clay on the right.
other than one pesky air bubbly under the bird's wing (easy to fix) i'm happy with my casting!!! Hope you all are having a great day!

if you liked the cardinal tile I shared yesterday, you might also like this fox art tile that was in the same firing.

🧀Say cheese! Dear internet, it is clear some of you have a cheese obsession. I had quite a few comments from people saying at first glance these shelved items kind of look like cheese wheels!
This is the abandoned Falcon Works pottery factory, near my home. These are pottery molds stacked up and stored, hundreds of them spanning decades of craftsmanship and manufacturing.
Or, a cheese factory with a cheese kiln and ovens. You decide ;)

Good morning my pottery and peace loving friends!
I just opened my first kiln firing after a long break from working in clay. Here's a first look at one of my favorites from the firing. Porcelain can be a fussy (and expensive) clay to work with, but I love the translucence so much, it's worth all the extra effort!
Wishing you all a great Sunday!
