2017-08-06 - Sunday - Handsquatch pot
I collected some pots from the latest firing and one of them was a "handsquatch" pot. It features my hand print that gets stretched out during the process so it looks huge. It's so stretched that a lot of people don't even recognize it as a hand print until I point it out to them.

2014-03-13 - Thursday - Another push
Thursday I made another pushed out hand print pot.
The new bucket of white slip that Susan mixed is so wonderfully thick that my hand print stayed in the top for more than 30 minutes.

2014-03-12 - Wednesday - More pushing
Wednesday it was back to hand print pots. This time I pushed the actual hand print out as well. I think I really like this addition.

2014-03-04 - Tuesday - The start of another catch-up
Life got busy again. Work is crazy. Bear with me while I catch up yet again...
Continuing my hand print series that my friend Kary calls "Handsquatch". Here's a before and after photo: before I stretch it and afterward.
This one is white slip with a blue hand on orangestone.
Have I mentioned that every pot is an experiment?

2014-03-01 - Saturday - Crackled hands
I only had a couple of hours in the studio today. I had planned on glazing, but the gas kiln was already loaded when I arrived. I skipped the glazing and made some new pots.
I decided to make some crackled pots and wanted to add something to them as an accent. I thought of painting designs on them but didn't have the time so I used my hands. I really like the design and will experiment further with it.
The one on the left has blue slip and the one on the right has brown slip. They both have white slip hand prints. It's interesting to me how the hand print grows as the surface is stretched.
Out of the seven cups I trimmed on Wednesday, four had "S" cracks in the bottoms so now I have three. It's been a while since I threw cups off the hump and apparently I didn't compress the bottoms well enough. Live and learn and learn again.
