Most porcelain collectors have heard of Staffordshire Porcelain, but just what does Staffordshire refer to when we talk about porcelain?
GOOD DAY 
: Monday , September 10, 2012 ReOrganization As part of every new year , we re- organize stuff . In my micro studio I have a 4 foot stretch of counter that is the perfect height for wedging . This was calculated out as I can't stand having to wedge clay at an uncomfortable height kills the wrists I keep plaster wedging blocks , partial bags of clay and general dedicate it to moist clay stuff . nbsp I realized that when I do slab work with my Northstar Slab Roller I really need a lot more workspace . My handy hubby made me a removable counter that sits over all of my messy clay stuff . I covered it in canvas and it will be just perfect when I go into Slab Mode . I can also use it when I am doing other work that required more surface area . nbsp I also moved some shelving to the hallway for
: Wednesday , September 5, 2012 September- The New January September is the New January . nbsp Summer is over , Kids are back to school . Lots of rebirth . For me September is more like New Year than . January Each year I take a stay away from clay vacation with my family . My hands get soft again , my nails grow a bit . I really do like . it Now that I am back I have a brain full of ideas that are just bursting . I started to organize them on paper and map out the next few months . With several orders in the queue , I have limited time for messing around While away on vacation in New Hampshire , I picked up a very pretty wood cut bunny that I know will look great on some bowls or mugs . Bunny Bowls Bunny Glazed Bunny I spent Tuesday morning mixing glazes and ran a few tests that night .
I’ve an exhibit installed at the Cornelius Arts Center. The opening is Friday, March 25th. All the work I put into this really payed off! I had been stressing so much while making this work. Too much coffee and too much worrying. In the end it all came out well!
I’m [...]
I’m gradually playing around with more fluid, loosely shaped forms for the crater glazes. This is a basic cylinder/funnel type form that was twisted towards the top 1/3. I thickly applied the crater glaze so it would flow and be somewhat reminiscent of lava or hot glass. My question to y’all is [...]
This form, for some unknown reason, reminds me of a volcano. Maybe somewhat of a Mount Fuji against a lake so the bottom portion is the reflection. I’ve had to refire this because the first firing the glaze was too thick and flowed onto the foot. I filed off the overflow glaze [...]
I love flower bricks! Their origin, at least what I’m familiar with, comes from the Dutch. They made vases shaped like a brick and about the same size, put some holes in the top to hold flowers, then glazed them with a majolica type glaze and decorated them with a cobalt pigment that [...]
Here’s another angular styled vase that I used the textured glazes on. So what do you all think about using simple shapes and forms for these types of glaze surfaces? Do you think they are good combinations or do you think the forms ought to be more detailed and complex? Enquiring minds [...]
Here’s a much taller piece that has a great color combo and good glaze flow. I really like using simple shapes to compliment these glazes and colors. Scandinavian design is the biggest source of inspiration for me when it comes to form. The surface tends to be from natural sources-bark, lichen, moss, [...]
Here’s the latest in glaze firing successes! I’m quite pleased with how this turned out. I particularly love the pink/chartreuse combo and organic surface quality of this glaze!
I’m glaze firing daily now so more will come!
I’ve been working with color development this past month. Combining color combinations to see if I can get depth and complexity in the surface. I’m loving some of the results! These forms are kept simple so the glaze can be enjoyed without having to compete for attention with the form.
Sometimes I feel like Goldilocks at the three bears cottage. I either apply my glaze too thin and it looks awful or I apply it too thick and it comes out looking like these three pieces! No matter how many times I record the application process there’s always one or two kiln loads [...]
