I’ve been experimenting with using more color in my slip work recently which led me to thinking about how I could be more playful three dimensionally. Here’s a vase (inspired in part by some Korean moon jars and Tang Dynasty incense burners) I made using two of my tea bowl forms joined rim to rim with some additions of pulled handle sections. These pieces are a kind of curious experiment at making new functional forms using techniques in my regular pottery practice. #ikebana #vase #moonjar #chawan #potterystack #assemblage #collage #cone6oxidation #functionalpottery #kickwheel #teabowl #floraldesign #spring #pottery #clay #ceramics #contemporaryclay #contemporaryceramics #contemporarypottery #contemporarycraft #instapottery #potteryporn #etsypottery #etsyceramics #minneapolis #minnesota #thrownandaltered #greenegg #newwork #abstractart (at A-Mill Artist Lofts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNbQtK-jyN0/?igshid=ucyjz67m4xbt
I like to think of some of my bowls as “workaday” bowls - somehow ordinary and routine - like a comfortable pair of shorts - a bowl you reach for first and use every day. Not too big or small, comfortable to hold, durable enough to not be precious with. #bowl #workaday #utility #function #form #snacktime #pottery #clay #ceramics #leftovers #breakfast #lunch #dinner #cereal #yogurt #soup #noodles #pasta #rice #porcelaneousstoneware #dishwashersafe #microwavable #kickwheel #instapottery #potteryporn #sendnoods #etsyceramics #contemporaryclay #minneapolis #minnesota (at A-Mill Artist Lofts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNOsDjrj7_r/?igshid=1qex9blx9f3z7
My earliest memory of coffee is taking a sip of espresso with anisette with my grandfather Angelo. A daily ritual, espresso has and always will be dear to my heart. Here is a set of 4 espresso cups for you to make memories with.

This piece lives somewhere between being a yunomi and a chawan with the suggestion of a handle / slip brushed and finger wiped and glazed with my “gak” green oxidation celadon glaze #yunomi #chawan #tea #bowl #mug #glitch #handle #slipware #cone6 #cone6oxidation #grolleg #porcelain #porcelaneousstoneware #underglaze #daubs #kickwheel #pottery #clay #ceramics #celadon #contporaryceramics #contemporaryclay #contemporarycraft #potters #pottersofinstagram #instapottery #art #minneapolis #matcha #ergonomic (at A-Mill Artist Lofts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3U8EiD30H/?utm_medium=tumblr
