I made this piece for an upcoming exhibition at Utilitarian Clay, a #ceramics conference at Arrowmont School of Craft in Tennessee. I’ve made pitcher & basin sets before, but this is my first one with the #WildClay surface. I began to see them as interpretations of Venus standing in a clam shell on the water, representing love, femininity, sex, desire, beauty. I picture this set in someone’s home resting together but put to use separately—as a vase and a serving bowl. #pottery#cerámica

A pitcher with a long neck and pedestal sitting inside a bowl. The pitcher is highly decorative with colors derived from natural clay—brick red, olive green, dark salmon and glazed aqua accents. The pitcher is vase-like with a voluptuous body, tall neck lined all the way up with carved rings and a flowing spout. The bowl has a bright turquoise interior and undulating rim. The exterior is decorated to match the body of the pitcher—with rhythmic geometric diamond patterns in the same earth toned hues. The handle of the pitcher is fluid, connecting the top of the vessel and its waist. This is a profile view of the set, which sits on a wood coffee table in a living room. A couch, plant and other pieces of pottery are partially visible and blurred in the background.

I uploaded a five minute unedited video of me coil building a pot, just as a test since I’m new to PeerTube. The goal is to move toward edited videos that show more of the process and better video angles that help students learn the technique.

Absolutely love this beautiful patterned Victorian tile from Partick Lesser Hall in the West End of Glasgow. The building was designed by William Leiper and was built in 1872.

I was invited to make pieces for an upcoming ewer show. The concept was inspired by the gallery owner’s experience beginning to #garden with his family, enjoying the bounty daily, and using #handmade ewers to drizzle olive oil and vinegar over fresh veggies. I love making pots that pour, so the prompt was a welcome challenge, allowing me to combine multiple elements that I’ve practiced over the years. How would you use these pots?
