This is probably very ambitious and you need to vi This is probably very ambitious and you need to visualise this on my rather more rustic looking mugs but this is my plan. Using some of my own designs stenciled onto my pottery, the execution won't be as refined but if I'm going to glaze them why not add in another experiment along the way. It may all go horribly wrong but I'm going to give it a go, what is there to lose? @creatsyofficial #adventuresinclay #potteryprocess
As the voiceover in this soundtrack says creativit As the voiceover in this soundtrack says creativity is the ability to play, well here is my first attempt at playing with the desktop version of Edits and the continuation of me playing with clay. I may have been slightly over ambitious with my intentions at the pottery studio today but I managed to trim the foot rims of 4 cups, then make and add handles. After the first handle I did think I’d maybe bitten off more than I could chew but they got a little easier as I went along. 4 hours later, a little rough and ready but that’s the charm of handmade, right? Hopefully they haven’t all fallen off when I go in next. #adventuresinclay #clayaddiction #handmadeincanada
I’m so proud to show off my first attempts at pott I’m so proud to show off my first attempts at pottery… no humble bragging here. This glaze has some gorgeous variations in colour so I took a few photos in the late afternoon sunshine that captured it beautifully. There are many imperfections but in a world where we seem to question the authenticity of so many things seeing the flaws of a human touch has a beauty all of it’s own. Thank you for sharing your expertise Emily @blue.cicada.studio #adventuresinclay #handmadepottery #clayaddict
How many things can I find in my studio that match How many things can I find in my studio that match Webster Green HC-130, the @benjaminmoore colour of the year for 2027?
Week 4 of Wheel Throwing today and it was time to Week 4 of Wheel Throwing today and it was time to trim our second set of pots. I think we’re all very proud of our attempts as beginners. Everyone’s pots look so great. These will go in the kiln now and next week we get to play with glazes which I’m really looking forward to. #wheelthrowing #playingwithclay #handmadeceramics
I think I maybe need a new mantra, something like I think I maybe need a new mantra, something like "Make Something Monday”, can we make that a new trend? I recently received these swatches of a friend’s design. It’s such a cute harlequin design and from a collaborative Vintage Travel project we were both part of a while back. Today I felt like doing something on my sewing machine so I lightly padded the swatches, backing them with a soft cotton fabric to see how they’d work. I’ll acknowledge my slight deviation from a straight line that is centred right in my photo, I know the keen eyed among you will see it’s there, then we’ll swiftly move on. This design would be so fun for a child’s quilted vest, or a small bag or pouch, even a decorative pillow sham, maybe a Christmas stocking? Using the lines of the design as guides for quilting takes it to a whole new level of dimension and possibilities but keeps it a relatively easy project to master. The design can be found on Spoonflower by searching 17758207 within the Design ID field. #cheaterquilt #quiltingfabrics #diamonds #harlequinfabric
