Trying my hand (hands?) at throwing larger amounts of clay today. Here's a planter in progress.

@MLE_online you’re getting really good at this

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

A couple more works in progress from today:

Another wild clay mug, and a cactus toothpick holder where the toothpicks will be the cactus spines

[attoparsec@clacks.link]

@MLE_online That mug is *gorgeous*!

@MLE_online
Cool mug! The texture is nifty.

So, do you just happen to live someplace with wild clay just sort of out there, or is it basically everywhere?

[trode@hachyderm.io]

@MLE_online big mug is rad

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@silvermoon82 there is wild clay basically everywhere, but finding wild clay they can survive high firing is a different matter. Coming up with a mix i can high fire out of things i can find locally has been a couple years' saga, and it's ongoing

@MLE_online
That mug texture profile is really nice.

@trode thanks!

@MLE_online
Excellent work on those handles!

[davebauerart@mastodon.social]

@MLE_online Love that texture!

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@bosquebill it's just one handle, but thank you!

[misternineham@mastodon.social]

@MLE_online what a pleasantly shaped mug!

[misternineham@mastodon.social]

@MLE_online i was musing just the other day about a cool way to store q-tips and was thinking about a ceramic cotton plant

[mle_online@social.afront.org]

@misternineham let's hope it is a pleasantly fired and pleasantly glazed mug as well

@misternineham that would be a very fun idea
