Just a fun way to show slow + low oxygen vs fast + more oxygen imo😊

No kiln involved! I'm very proud of where I am - this pot was paved by a road of broken chards

a girl and her hobbies

it is one of those things, if you love it you get it😊

and no bisque fire too😊 life was truly raw there for a bit😅

the smoke just look so good with them

combined my 2 projects in this one actually: Wild clay terra sig + atmospheric firing on the grill😊

Oh summertime😆 the pot is in fact not doing well🙄

the ringing sound is a sign that the piece was thouroughly fired☺️

it's the Russian doll of backyard pottery

not fired yet🔥 very excited to see how it turns out. Used wild clay Terra Sigillata on it❤️

when things do go wrong it is typically something 10 min in the oven will fix😊

the road to the kiln is long and arduous

this clay with this [wood] firing technique would make an amazing fox sculpture I think🦊

Att least I think the second "ghost tail" is a fuming effect but I guess it could b something else 2

results in the end😊 this is the biggest pot I've fired in the barrel, and I'm obsessed with it 🐈❤️

excited to see how it turns out (and if it survives)😊

Just reflecting on how it feels like the feeling of the process should correlate more w the results😅

"Rosa rugurosa raku" - it has a nice ring to it don't you think?😉

experimenting with a local rose to see what it will do in raku🔥

tdlr you can single fire ceramics outdoors, but it requires patience and love😊❤️

do you think sealing it with beeswax made a difference on the red clay?😊

ps. The seashells eventually break too - still a big time saver and very neat hack😉💕

some faves from the last year💕

I ❤️ iron oxide mixes in small scale firings - they work with rather than against cold spots +☺️

let's fish these out together tomorrow when they're completely cool😉

fired once from greenware and went from clay to ceramics on my grill🥰 love the results!!

accidently put the "wrong" side of the bladderwrack phasing down on the tray. still slay tho imo😍

Was aiming for black clay cat but accidently ended up with variegated batman😍

I'm actually so in love with the very last one🥹 excited to see how they fire!!!

there's something really poetic about "reading" what the smoke was trying to do🥹

girl math ceramic edition

I've since upgraded to a barell for better heat distribution but I'm so happy I went for this😍

Can't wait to use these smoke & plant prints to create patterns on larger sculptures😍

firing ceramics outside the low tech way is its own universe and I'm addicted❤️😊

⛓️ to the world wide 🌐 in my "about this channel". would absolutely love to see you there💕

always so much fun to try a new method and see what it will do😉❤️ getting fired soon!!

you can see the hint of how this would look at a larger vessel on the little pot in the background😍

hey, it survived two rounds of intensely stressful firings, I'm not gonna b too critical😅

hard wood coal is the nuts for patio/small space firing of ceramics btw 🔥

I do rly hope it turns out nice bcs it was the first piece I fired this way and it rly means a lot🥹

saggar packing in the sun 🌞

excited to fire up this batch and let the smoke interactions magic happen with these🔥

..And if this isn't western raku/raku-inspired, then what should we call it?😅

you've already given me some good suggestions on what to do with this, I'm taking notes👍😊❤️

let's see if we can salvage this without breaking❤️ (very experimental😅)

if u wanna start firing ceramics on the porch, my tip is to get the basics down if that makes sense🔥

dropping my experimental pieces from this year on Tuesday❤️😊 what an amazing year!!❤️
