In another life, I am an erudite, fascinating, witty, sexy libertine. As it stands, I am mainly a disappointment. Occasional pots. He/Him.

Also I bought this lil guy and he’s brilliant and he makes me laugh every time I look at him

If you’re in Cambridge (UK) then come along to Kiln Cambridge (Ditton Walk, off Newmarket Rd) this weekend for our Christmas exhibition and sale. 40+ stalls (including mine!) and lots of ideas for Christmas presents. 10am-9pm Sat/10am-6pm Sun.

I love the way the white slip and black underglaze drips mirror each other here. Not deliberate, and the underglaze was applied after the slip had already been bisque fired, but a very happy accident.

Look I love Lumines Arise but the name is far far too close to Lumines Arse and also there’s this

Done some product/portfolio/archival shots of the pots I’m taking to the show next week and you know what I think some of them turned out ok in the end. I’m slowly getting better at this, maybe.

A bad photo of a nice pot. Probably the one of this series that I’ve altered the most, and it’s very satisfying to hold. Or put things in, I guess.

If you’re near Cambridge UK, I’ll at the Kiln Cambridge show next weekend (Ditton Walk off Newmarket Road). Come say hi!

I was going to question the fact that 45% of the “contrarian youth” are over 35 but then I remembered this is right wingers and for a lot of Conservative Party associations, being under 75 counts as the youth wing.

Made a Tall Pot. 27cm, about 1.1kg of clay, only nearly collapsed twice.

Hadn’t realised the new Nintendo app catalogs your shame. No huge surprises here though.

also get a load of this weird ugly vase that I love, the glazing is so strange; it’s supposed to be a shino, I have no idea what happened

(the scratch marks are deliberate, but it’s a single uniform layer so i don’t know why the colour has split so dramatically) #pottery #ceramics

The ash glazed versions, uh, didn’t work so well. The tenmoku will also need some tidying up with the Dremel.

This programme is amazing though

Meant to slip these too and forgot so went into the studio early to spray and wrap them, then came back later to slip them. Think I about managed it - hoping it doesn’t crack off in the firing.

Trimmed these today. I didn’t love them when I’d thrown them but I’m glad I went with it because I think the final form (for three of them, at least) is pretty nice. #ceramics #pottery

Also this cute little espresso cup, which is one of 10 I made - the other 9 are being gas-fired and should look quite different.

Kiln pickup day! Pretty pretty happy with this - a combination of the hakame/underglaze decoration I’ve been using for a while with the squashed pots I’ve been experimenting with more lately.

Reviewing today’s making and apparently I made a pot with an ass crack
