As an artist who has tried it all, from paints to embroidery, I've finally found my happy place, pottery! This channel will be a spot that I can share my ceramic journey with you. My goal is to both help you learn more of the craft and to bring you along as I learn new things myself. Happy throwing!

    I like the cup with the pale orange inside and the sheep outside. Looks great. I love finely speckled clay too. I love the glaze on the shot glasses and footage 13:24. I wondered if you hollowed out the sheep nose? Since it’s a thicker body of clay.

    The new kitchen piece is Amazing! I can see it on a lazy susan next to the stove with my favorite most used spices and EVOO along with wooden spoons. With the handle it can be portable for when my husband and I are both in the kitchen. Maybe you could make a raised ring in the bottom of it for setting your oil bottle and sell as a set? I DEFINITELY want one when you get it sorted and have gotten them made!

    I am taking lessons on the wheel. So far I’ve had two and I can’t cone up and down because I don’t have strength in my arms. I really want to learn. Some have said my clay is too firm so I’m going to try another.. I love your work and the ease you do it with..

  • @penningtondesignpottery
    @penningtondesignpottery5 ай бұрын

    Do you slam your clay in the bag before you use is? Wedging a good amount should also help, and the last tip would be to brace your arms on your legs or torso. This will save you a lot of arm strength! Happy potting!

    I've started making shrinkage rulers for each clay out of a paint stir stick. That way I dont have to re calculate everything every time. Just the initial measurement of the stopper. Then I can attempt to throw to my premade shrinkage ruler. I have the one from diamond core, but not all of my clays fit it exactly. And I was always looking on websites to find the shrinkage rates. Now I just grab the stick for the clay im using. It's still dependant on my skills etc. But it's helping dial it in a bit. I didn't come up with it. Another potter suggested doing it and it's been a useful hand-built tool. 😊

    Pennington--- I often find that 'less is more'. While I'm certainly not adverse to deep lush colors, more often than not, I gravitate toward monochromatics and pastels. To take it from 'ho hum' to extraordinary, I use Mayco's overglaze lusters. While a bit pricy, it moves the needle dramatically. The mother of pearl works remarkably well on white. It might just be a solution for you. A touch of gold on rims, flowers and leaves etc. bumps it towards the 'classic'--something with which I'm very comfortable. LMK if you give it a try and how it goes. Best of luck. P

  • @penningtondesignpottery
    @penningtondesignpottery5 ай бұрын

    I'll be doing a video soon I think! The bucket of glaze seems to be the right thickness, but one thought is that the rims of the oil bottles are pretty thin, I throw them thinner because I am not trimming those ones, and it may make it so the glaze is not absorbing into the bisqueware as well.
