There are more cases of measles in Texas than trans college athletes in the entire country.
Guess what they're focused on.

These roundy pitchers are more practical than the tall skinny ones, but not as challenging to throw.

These colors are a punch in the eye, but still....

I like coffee enough that I don't want to substitute anything for it

A 10 inch tall pitcher with a narrow foot and narrow neck. There is a bit of a belly in the lower third of the body. The glaze is multi colored from the flame pattern in the wood burning kiln. The colors are gray, black, brown, and green.

It's pitcher-making time so I've been looking at some older ones and thinking about handle placement.

The bottom of the handle should attach about a quarter inch lower.

Four pound fatties. A subtle transition between the belly and the neck is better. I only had to throw four to start to understand that.

I finished the day with some 2.5 pound pitchers. They're all the same clay but the late afternoon light is magic.

Three small porcelain bowls with lids for brewing Chinese tea. They aren't fired yet.

I brew a lot of tea with Yixing pots which inspired me to make some little porcelain teapots.

Insta was so good for sharing images it was a natural place for artists to gather. Bsky is a xitter copy, just as text heavy. I don't know where to go see cool pots and what potter friends are up to. Insta has turned into a tickity toc clone, sadly.
