Title: Some hand built pottery
Post by: Zuma on January 10, 2014, 12:22:51 pm

I am glad to see potters posting here. I have always enjoyed ceramics and hope to get back into it.
Perhaps with the neat help of folks doing wood firing. A labor of love imo.
I tried my best to copy some Native styles.
Any and all discussion of ceramics welcome.

Also, Joyce Payne in Alaska. Does some cool classes firing with newspaper in garbage cans. She is an old and dear friend, and good.

Super, Ben and mullet. Thanks for the info.
I will check this out.
Here is a lady I admire as well.

Ceramics kept one of my heroin's alive for 105 years. lol


"It was at this time that she bought a pair of baroque plates with a luster glaze. She wanted to find a matching teapot to go along with it, but was unsuccessful. Deciding to make the teapot herself, she enrolled in a ceramic class at Hollywood High School. This hobby turned into a passion that would last over the next sixty years, as she developed a unique form of luster-glaze technique that proved successful"

Lovely stuff! I really like the two-mouthed pots, what's their purpose?
