    Ceramic Mask Making

    The night before our big Boston snow storm I got to sneak in a few hours at the pottery studio. Granted, I spent 2.5 hours cleaning up and organizing the glaze room because I just couldn't help myself --I made new glaze labels! I saved about 30 minutes to throw on some black mason stain for my mask and quick, sketchy cups.

    Girl starts weekend photography business

    That girl is me! I finally did it. I did the time, I paid online, and I learned how to code-up my own website, powered through WordPress. No cookie cutter themes for me, no thank you! While I have been dabbling in personal sites built...

    Featured Artist – Emmalyne on Etsy

    Emmalyne (aka Emmy Ludwig) is a photographing artist on Etsy. She has a love for taking everyday common objects and making them into a beautiful, soulful photograph. I love these two photographs she has captured with her smart eye. These two photos are hauntingly evocative of something... almost bordering creepy. This is something I love, because they are also completely innocent shots taken with observation. Simply beautiful.

    Pottery Artist Alex Mandli

    Alex Mandli buffs his pieces to a shine, and uses a pit firing technique. Not only is his work full of labor intense skill, it has the organic quality of fire added to it that I love. It's like a kiss of nature working with fire to finish your ceramics.

    Marina Bychkova – Ball-Jointed Porcelain Dolls

    If you are going to work at being great at something, it becomes so much more appealing when you can find the worth inside to do it. Marina Bychkova is somehow... visually emancipating the Barbie's and Ken's of our current cultural mindset.

    Another: I love my dog… post.

    This is Chloe. She sleeps... all the time. We got a Rhodesian Ridgeback because we heard they are so active, but this one's a dud. :) She loves to silently hunt, stare, and sniff. I think she saves up all of her energy just so she can be extra good at all of that.

    Ceramic Artst Penelope Withers

    I am newly obsessed. I just got done ordering some new glazes, i.e. crackle glaze... a candy colored red glaze, some mason stain for some traditional looking China Porcelain. So, I decided to look up how other people were using their crackle glaze on their ceramics. Behold: I came across...

    Slab built porcelain clay houses

    I'm in my first pottery art show and it's coming up in a couple of weeks! Yay, rah rah rah. I took a quick shot of some of the pieces I finished tonight to go in the last batch for bisque firing in the kiln. This picture is essentially, the little clay houses in their "greenware" stage

    A Review by Thomas Garvey

    I got a kick out of this review by Thomas Garvey. He has a great writing style, and stays on topic (unlike... me!): covering concrete in our city and sourcing the line of influence.

    Slab built porcelain clay houses

    Just ran in to studio to drop my greenware into the line for bisque firing in the kiln. I'm so excited for them to be going into their first ceramic art show! Well, for that matter, it's my first art show too.
