i've been putting in an average of about ten hours a week for the past month on this stuff and did a six hour session today. feels good man

I'm really glad (even if no one else is) that I've been posting work in this thread for so long. It's helpful to see work I've done from two years ago to compare growth and recognize my improvement... working in a studio alongside professional art and production potters can be pretty intimidating so i need occasional reminders that I've been getting better at this. Also I've given away about ninety percent of the work in this thread and it's nice to have some reference record.

three weeks pass...

Two Adventure Time cups, sides A and B there.

The aardvark cup is part of a much more involved piece of work that will likely keep me busy to the end of 2015 so I'll comment a bit more about what that's on later.

Are the vases made by dipping them in slip and then scraping the patterns in when it's dry?

nickn, Monday, 9 February 2015 02:33 (eleven years ago)

nice work!

Nhex, Monday, 9 February 2015 03:44 (eleven years ago)

thanks!
yeah, with all those I take raw clay, dip it in porcelain slip and then sgrafitto with loop tools and needles
the vase is in quarters: crosses, grey matter, chain links and keith haring homage

This is the most recent thing worth noting that I've made; painting literally thousands of tiny effervescent bubbles in porcelain on the exterior of this bowl drove me half fucking crazy but it came out nice. With apple for scale.

This material can not be other than soil. The project focuses on the natural properties of soil. Earth, or Soil, as a construction material has been used since Neolithic times. The advantages of an earth – soil structure are primarily related to both the environment and economy, being secure and friendly to our environment. Soil also offers the benefits of natural insulation, fire protection, air circulation, low first cost, 100% recyclable structures, stiffness, great strength, thermal flywheel effect, low greenhouse emissions, regulating the climate and providing a healthy Indoor environment.

Does that make you mutter, under your breath, “Damn”? (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 9 December 2015 18:51 (ten years ago)
