I’m just really proud of this shape okay It turned out so bellied and round and that’s been really hard for me. Bonus shot of the footrim cause I’m also really happy with it:

Here’s a closeup of the other planter I shared earlier. I did a nice foot rim on this one to help with glaze placement, but totally forgot to do it on the other

My plants are outgrowing their pots. So my solution of course is to make them new pots!

The 2 pictures show the same pot at different stages of drying less than a day apart. Left: leather hard. Right: bone dry. The humidity where I live is super low so my pieces dry out very fast, which is a bit of a blessing and a curse.

On one hand dry pots are important once you fire them. Trapped moisture in the clay can cause the pot to explode when water turns into steam in the kiln. But having things dry out so quickly significantly reduces their working time and can make it hard to do the details I want. I counteracted that recently by getting a humid storage bin I can put my pieces in to keep them from drying as so fast and it’s really helped, especially with more intricate things like my cat and snake mugs.

I forgot to bring the pink underglaze with me to the studio so I’ve still got to paint its nose. But otherwise I’m pretty happy with how this little fella is turning out!

Before

After

Just some subtle changes after getting trimmed.

Gonna let them firm up a smidge more and then I can add the handles and start sculpting.
