Yeah, I never understood the presenter choices, this one seems much less annoying so far. Also didn't know anything about the studio tech, she seems very cool!

also: there have been like three covid positives in my studio which leaves me unwilling to visit. it's making me very sad. haven't touched clay in months.

Oh god, the cheekless Dolly was a nightmare. The other one was amazing though, and I kind of liked it even with the damage, it made it look like a newly-recovered Greek statue or something.

Stick to the brief ya morons!

Shock double booting though, imo.

lol, every time anyone ever does this on a reality show I always cringe. Moron, do you not watch the shows? Don't you know how this turns out?
or the equally stupid "I've never tried this before but I feel like it's worth a shot." It's not! You're on international television! Practice first!

Agh spoilers! hidden tag! not on the t0rr3ntz yet!
sorry! I didn't say who got booted though...

Oh shit, I'll edit that into hidden now.

I do think that sometimes the line between "innovated within the brief" and "didn't stick to the brief" is blurry. But then there are other times when it's pretty clear that the brief has been completely missed or ignored (hi certain people on Blown Away).
― emil.y, Sunday, 28 February 2021 21:10 (three years ago) link
it was a bit brutal and the people will be missed
but it also felt a bit lazy

In the 4th and 5th photos posted today, are those two separate pieces that fit together or is it all one piece with two separate glazes/finishes.
― Carlos Santana & Mahavishnu Rob Thomas (PBKR), Monday, 12 July 2021 18:20 (two years ago) link
two separate pieces joined. it's part of a series of work i'm doing with my friend/collaborator about communities where two pieces are fused into one to support each other structurally and aesthetically. the dancing/loving vases directly above are part of the same project and the first post of a clown shoe shape has a mate of the same size and design that will support from below.

hey forks do you sell your stuff? i really love your style!
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Monday, 12 July 2021 20:31 (two years ago) link
Thanks! I don't sell as a rule so much but make me an offer and a request via ilxmail and i can see about making you a thing? Be warned I am slow!

several in progress pieces, many collabos

Wow! That is trippy stuff. I took a beginner wheel class this summer and made one basic thing (a plant pot) but the idea of keeping on with making pottery was extremely tempting! But I think I would be boring and conventional and make, like dishes...your work is much more interesting.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Sunday, 24 October 2021 15:57 (two years ago) link
well i hardly STARTED there, you can scroll up to the top of the thread and see my boring and conventional work up there! it takes everyone time to progress from basic forms and decoration into their own voice. I strongly recommend you keep with it; it's been a real life saver for me.

New episodes of Pottery Throwdown tomorrow
― koogs, Saturday, 1 January 2022 23:06 (two years ago) link
Pottery Throwdown. AJ's orange sponge walkman earphones, are they functional or decoration? looks like the leads come down and join in the middle with something ornamental there.
― koogs, Monday, 7 February 2022 16:52 (two years ago) link
hahaha i have been asking myself that same question. they could be some sort of retro-enabled bluetooth thing but the fact that they are totally clean and have no clay on them leads me to think they are an affectation.
They are really fun potters by the way!
― i cannot help if you made yourself not funny (forksclovetofu), Monday, 7 February 2022 16:55 (two years ago) link
the ornamental thing looks like a tiny silver hammer. i've seen iron mongers wear something similar, like a thor's hammer (below), but this is a more modern shape.

Might be headphones to block out noise/distraction? I love AJ - in the beginning they were my favourite person but not my favourite potter, but the last couple of shows they have done amazing work.
― emil.y, Monday, 7 February 2022 17:05 (two years ago) link
to further my point: if you wear headphones when you throw, you are going to get clay on them. those little foam earpieces are a magnet.

Right, well that's a new collaboration with a friend: he on sculpting and me on surface. Will revisit when it's out of the bisque kiln and ready for glazing.

And another, this one also sculpted by the same friend but out of bisque and freshly underglazed to emphasize carved textures. Next step is glazing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABX-hW8Oz_g
