Here at merrit fest for the day come through say hi. We got dozens of other potters with their work. Demonstrations and some clay competitions. It’s quite a Vibe.

Working through this plate form. They start off as slabs then are cut and draped on a bisque hump mold. They then are transferred to the wheel where I’ll use a pony roller to impress the underside spiral pattern. Then a coil is pinched on and thrown to make the foot. Once stiff enough slip is poured and decorated. These will be further decorated and glazed for a reduction firing. Something a bit more immediate and less labor than atmospheric firing.

What a wild firing. The coal bed got to high and choked the kiln for a long time resulting in some crazy reduction and a level of carbon trapping I’d had never seen. Also resulted in bloating on bmix and porcelains it was forsure weird. Crew was amazing and we closed her up right on target.
Made some upgrades new steel grates and another side stoking port. If you’re interested in wood firing registration open shortly. It’s a great time full of high vibes, community, 2 firings in 12 weeks a lovely studio a cone ten reduction firing for refires and some really rad folks. It’s no doubt a surreal experience to fire in Oakland with some of the most incredible people. #woodfiredceramics #oaktown #claycommunity

Attempting to fix some cracks. Mixed some of the clay body with some bisque fix. I know you can make your own but I don’t have the materials to do so and the time. Smeared it all up I there and tried my best to push the material in the cracks and a little beyond. I have had very good success with paper clay but I’m interested in trying something new. Some folks swear by this stuff and I’m hoping they take.

Some new work for the wood kiln. The works are inspired by basket making and quilting patterns. Lots of different clays and slips and I’m hoping to glaze a couple too with some matte finishes.
Got a couple cracks that I need to attempt to repair. For those that use bisque fix do y’all ever add clay to it match your clay body? Looking for some tips and or advice. I typically use paper clay where I have good success but I’d like to try something new.
Anyway it’s been a slow process of making lately but I’m excited to see where this new work leads. It’s been a pleasure to hand-build and to be more free.

Wood fired goblet with a slip that’s been really nice in the wood kiln. Reds, oranges and pinks. It reacts really well with heavy wood ash, as well in softer areas.

I have been making some stemware forms.
They are thrown off the hump in one form. Dimpled with a wooden rib.
Then trimmed a bit on the stem and the underside. I trim quite deep as to help the solid stem and base dry evenly.
These are made with bmix but porcelain is up next!
