Fresh tea bowl setting the pace for my cup game. Very much enjoy the slight transparency / darker tone that the glossy brings to the thin slip pours and the textural contrast between glossy and uncoated areas. #Informatted #Stoneware #Studiopottery #Pottery #Mnartist #Matthewedmondsceramics

Tiny double closed forms opened box on sculptural element drying. May or may not add a bit more slip to soften the high contrast before bisque, or not. Hmmm. #Studiopottery #Pottery #Stoneware #Ceramicarts #Informatted #Matthewedmondsceramics

Letterpress cups with knobs came through bisque just fine, mostly, with one reverting to the oval it was for a moment. :-/ Small batches means slow movement towards desired / favorable results. Poco a poco. #Informatted #Studiopottery #Pottery #Stoneware #Mnartist #Matthewedmondsceramics

Half dozen fussy cups lined up for a bisque, these have impressed letterset type making patterns, which I like very much and I am inclined to repeat despite it being an old “hippie pot” thang as it means more than “decoration” to me. #Studiopottery #Ceramicarts #Ceramics #Pottery #Informatted

A handful of large cups in the works with letter press type patterns pressed into them, they are barbed with little finger rests for ease of use for smaller hands. #Studiopottery #Pottery #Ceramicarts #Mnartist #matthewedmondsceramics #informatted

Two Closed Forms Opened box with zogan (aka Mishima) surface (inlaid porcelain). Largest opened sculpture I’ve pulled off to date. So many ideas in this vein to chase, yet so little time. Poco a poco. #Mnartist #Studiopottery #Ceramicarts #Pottery #Sculpture #Informatted #Matthewedmondsceramics

Here is another “Closed Forms Opened” box, a line of work currently in stoneware made by throwing two closed forms on the wheel, opening them, then combining. #Studiopottery #Ceramicarts #Pottery #Stoneware #Sculpture #Informatted #Mnartist #Matthewedmondsceramics

Here’s the little citrus sculpture sketch from a few days back, all dried up. If you compare the two you can see how they change, as we all do. I now try to breathe n follow my gut, as not to be dragged around by heart or head. #Informatted #Ceramics #Studiopottery #Stoneware ##Porcelain #Mnartist

A little blood orange sculpture sketch, the likes of which have been inspiration for some sculptural and functional stoneware work (poco a poco). These little sculptures have also kept me on the sunny side, serving as tiny reminders to look for and create my own simple joy. #Inspiration #Informatted

I showed a lot of these citrus peel sculpture sketches to my 92 year old grandmother today and she said this one was “frightening”. Perhaps you get the same vibe? These are inspiration for stoneware work of late. #Informatted #Inspiration #studiopottety #Matthewedmondsceramics #Ceramics #Pottery
