ceramic sculpture

DangerMouse · 08-03-2009, 07:16 PM

when i was in my teens, i went through a ceramic sculpture phase.
including mixing my own glazes, building a kiln, building a kickwheel
(ALWAYS far superior to an electric) creating slip molds, etc.
feel free to ask any questions i may be able to help with.

dangermouse, ceramics is my main (well i was going to say hobby but its not really just a hobby any more) been in ceramics for over 15 years now. I pour my own molds and fire. I dry brush everything. When asked where my shop is i have to tell people i live in it.. i pour in the laundry room.. clean in the dinning room, fire in the kitchen. and paint in the living room. and yes it does get a bit messy. before a craft show i can have dozens of pieces sitting every where waiting to be sprayed with a sealer and packed.
