Melting ceramics meet surrealism - from Livia Martin, a Chilean-born, London-based artist "This body of work, called Nomad Patterns, represents a true inquiry into the issues of brokenness and recuperation...

I just found out about #Kiln Share—an app that allows you to find people in your area who will let you fire #ceramics in their kiln at low cost. If you don’t already have a membership, ceramics studios often charge a crazy amount per piece to fire, so this is great. I’m going to list my kilns later today. I see that there’s one other shared kiln in my town. I’m curious who they are and I’m interested to see how this may connect me to other ceramic artists in my area.

After working with Zulu potter, Jabulile Nala from South Africa, I began to wonder why #ceramics has become an expensive hobby requiring extensive tools and equipment when originally, it was just earth and fire which are free. I created this workshop series for those who are interested in clay but find the cost of classes prohibitive. I offered it at a sliding scale but now it's available for free. Enjoy! https://potterybyosa.com/blogs/clay-people/clay-is-for-everyone #pottery #HowTo #DIY #PeerTube #MakerTube #OnlineCourse

today's work: faerie cottages ✨ all of my wee houses are made in the kurinuki technique, so carved from a single block of clay. the first day (yesterday, in this case), i shape the basic structure, separate the roof from the building and shape that, and roughly carve out the interior of the house. the second day, i refine all the shapes, carve the rest of the interior, cut out windows and doors, carve the roof, and carve the flowers and plants on the walls. now, they dry (possibly with a smidge more tidying up tomorrow)! the clay becomes lighter in colour as it dries and white after firing. and the more square house has a wee crescent moon window on its side 🌙 #art #mastoArt #ceramics

I was given the recipe for the off-white glaze I use by another potter and it was a game changer for me. Before that, I was using glossy opaque glazes that completely covered my red stoneware clay whose color I loved so much. For years, I would compensate by wiping glaze away from certain sections to let the iron rich clay body show. Finding this glaze made my work more subtle and rustic, recalling antiqued or rusted surfaces worn with age. #ceramics #pottery

I have a #RocketKiln that fires using scrap wood but I've never heard of a traditional wood fire kiln using scrap wood to fire. Typically, people either chop their own over the course of a year or buy cords of wood which can be very expensive. Josh DeWeese, a well-known ceramic artist, shows his wood fired kiln in this video that uses throwaway wood from local cabinet makers who are happy to give it to him rather than pay to dump it. https://ceramicartsnetwork.org/clayflicks/clayflicks-video/Wood-Firing-and-Studio-Tour-with-Josh-DeWeese #ceramics #kiln #pottery
