I’m so happyy, I am not new to sculpting as I finished art school, but my first time actually firing and glazing! I’m so relieved it didn’t crack and worked out :3

Found a peculiar glaze/clay combo ^_^, does it feels groovy?

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to share some of my handmade vases. I've been experimenting with colored clay, organic shapes, and different textures.

Would love to hear what you think!

I’m still learning but so happy to have a bit of a body of work starting to build up.

Hi everyone,

I am an independent ceramicist based in Kurdistan. All of my work is hand-built/wheel-thrown and individually hand-painted with underglaze/overglaze decorative motifs (woodland scenes, deer, botanical details on aged ivory earthenware/stoneware).

am preparing my first small batch of 20–30 finished pieces to send to my niece in the UK to begin selling there. For those familiar with the UK pottery market, independent craft fairs, or Etsy UK:

Realistic pricing: What would a fair, realistic retail price be for:
The handled urn vase 35-40cm

The ceramic table lamp base with brass fittings 40-50cm

UK Market Fit: Does this traditional, illustrative English country / rustic Cotswolds style resonate well with UK interior buyers right now?

Logistics/Assembly: For potters selling lamps in the UK, do you recommend shipping wired with UK Type-G plugs, or selling the ceramic base alone with pre-drilled holes for buyers/stockists to fit their own standard B22/E27 kits?

Would really appreciate honest feedback from UK ceramicists, sellers, or collectors on what to adjust before sending the first batch over. Thank you!

Test tiles with Epsom salts and uranium, with and without silicon carbide, with and without mason stain.

I’ve seen a content creator on TikTok/Reels make things like muffin pans using Mayco Stroke & Coat to paint designs on them. After firing, the colors turn out really vibrant and look great.

I’ve also used Stroke & Coat and experimented with it on different test tiles at different firing temperatures. From my experience, I’ve only been able to achieve those same vibrant colors when firing at low-fire temperatures.

I’m primarily familiar with high-fire clay and have some limited experience with mid-fire clay, so I don’t know much about low-fire clay. However, I’ve had a couple of pottery instructors tell me that low-fire clay is earthenware and isn’t oven-safe.

So I’m wondering, is what she’s making actually safe to use in the oven? Or is there something I’m missing? I’d love to make similar pieces, but I’m hesitant because of what my instructors have told me.
Has anyone had experience making ovenware with low-fire clay, or know whether there’s a safe way to achieve these results?

I made this for my ceramics class using a vintage 90s Amaco bird mold. I love it :,)

Hey all! I’m the studio manager at a local arts center and I recently opened up a bisque kiln to see that 1 of our elements snapped in 2 different places. I’ve never seen this happen before, and am curious to what might have caused it. I replaced all of the elements on July 5th, so I don’t think it’s age related.

It’s a Skutt 1027-3 240volt. The only thing I can think of is that maybe one of the relays is going out? When I run diagnostics the amps are reading at 18, 15, and 10. Voltage is NOLOAD 242, FULL LOAD 227.

That you can see the pincel marks very obvious when it’s dry.

Another day has passed, and my frustration has only grown. After yesterday's threats, very ugly comments, and later that day threatening Instagram messages, demanding I delete my profile because I’m a liar and claiming my work is AI generated I decided to take out some sculptures and art I’ve been working on, so I could show them to you in person. Some are finished, some aren't some are drying, some are awaiting final touches, and some cracked in the kiln. But every single one was crafted by my own hands. I poured a part of myself and my heart into each one, and countless people have seen them in person since I run a tattoo studio and people visit me every day. I have reddit only two days now and on every community where I posted after yesterday's incident, people are threatening me and telling me to delete my profile. This is my last post here and I’m truly sorry. I tried to share everything I’ve created over years,sculptures, designs, paintings on canvas and wood, illustrations, dioramas, and much more but clearly, this isn't network for me. I wish everyone the best. If anyone still wants to follow my work, ( my identity was revealed in the comments yesterday and my attempt to explain in the comment ( u can read it ), but everyone has already declared me a fake and they just continued so i give up eventually ),

I have active profiles on Facebook and Instagram. I’m not very active on Insta, but I am on Face. Thank you all and many thanx to people who realy support me over this two days with super cool comments and conversations. Appreciate it a lot 🙏❤️ cheers from little Croatia 🫡

this is probably my favorite of this conical flute series that I've been working on. Improvements include tuning and shaping of the clay after the bone dry phase instead of at the leather hard phase, shaping the bone dry clay with wet tools and sponges, and increased attention to the mouthpiece resulting in a better tone.
