And another team event means another chance to try obvara! Last year, my last pot turned out just right as I was trying to troubleshoot it and I've been hooked! Much better this year, plus testing some terra sigillata with it

Some recent work from my own pottery corner. I have a username to live up to after all. #nerdfarters

After a catastrophic porcelain stoneware firing (all bloated), it's such a joy when raku delivers the goods. The copper matte absolutely shimmers in the flesh. Can't wait for winter to be over so we can start again! #pottery #ceramics

Here are some of my #skulls from this weekend’s #raku workshop at the #annarborpottersguild All three are raku stoneware. The first is “beauty” glaze, the second is obvara, and the third is “copper sand” glaze. Glazed skulls were reduced in sawdust and newspaper for 20 minutes.

Obvara fired pinch pots sculptures!

They were meant to be pomegranates, but they ended up looking more like eggs from the Alien franchise 😅

I love the raku firing process. Here’s a close up of my recent raku pot with white crackle, which sold recently.

I’m excited that we will be doing an obvara firing in a few weeks. Never tried it. If you have, please share any tips!

Hello pottery enthusiasts and creative souls!
After many unexpected setbacks, I finally completed my very first Obvara firing — and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!

Never let fear stop you from reaching for a goal.
More Obvara firings are on the horizon — stay tuned!

I actually really dislike toads and frogs but they make great art and these ceramic pieces done with Obvara firing turned out better then I expected.

Results from today’s Obvara firing! Spending the morning in the desert dipping hot pottery in yeast soup to make cool shit and hang out with interesting people. Sigh 🥹

Choose 20 pots or ceramic pieces that you have made. One pot per day for 20 days, in no particular order.

Obligatory first post. A small obvara vessel from last year.

Some obvara plates from a bit ago. I’ve always thought these look a lot like a stack of pancakes. And I’m here for it.

My 1st time. Raku clay is super groggy and I struggled w it but the effects are pretty cool. The workshop also offered a dip of 50% creamer/water and the color was much browner than the caramel of the obvara - she was testing effects of different sugar content. These are clearly darker in person 🤔
