Lacrymaria Olor (or Tear of Swan) is a deadly predator of the Microcosm. This creature is extremely mobile and actively uses its flexible "neck" for hunting, randomly biting off small pieces from everyone who gets in its way! However, despite her bloodthirstiness, she never takes more than she needs for her existence. Once catiated, the Tear of the Swan usually curls up into a small ball and falls into a micro-hibernation until it gets hungry again.
Nobody sneeze. This stack made me very nervous this morning. Mainly because these are my new babies. Latte cups are now a real thing in the studio. I’m experimenting with different handles, and getting very confident (reckless? Wild? No, let’s say confident) about bold shape alterations and details. #happyhappy . . . #creativityeveryday #mugs #pottery #ceramics #cups #etsy #etsyhandmade #etsyfinds #potteryaddict #potterylovers #makeart #ceramicartist #everydayart #etsymudteam #clayartsutah #makersmovement #quietcreative #lithologyceramicart Shop update Sunday 3:00 MST https://www.instagram.com/p/CjqF_Dzrqqm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

' My work stems from a visceral need to create with my hands using natural materials and a love of the sculptural vessel form.
The vessel being one of the oldest objects ever made and one of the most commonly found in archeological sites the world over, to me it’s an embodiment of the timelessness, endurance and the universality of the human experience. ' - Kotan
She explores the form of the vessel and vases as a result of her exploration of the feminine form. This type of exploration appeals to me as it steeped in historical and archaeological significance. This is an area of exploration I may find myself in as the years progress.
The second artist I was introduced to by Tutor Mary Conroy is Zuzana jezikova an Irish based ceramics artist. As part of her work she has developed it around Irish mythology which she has captured very evocatively in both her paintings and then transferring it to her ceramic work giving it a contemporary mood but still keeping something that is quite archaic similar to cave drawings.
I love the colours she captures in her paintings and sculptures and I find her style inspiring to my own ideas of how I would like to create.
I’m looking for the whales 🐳… these bud holders are almost sold out ( one left that I’m saving for a special thing) but I’m making some more this week. I’m loving the blue and white , still part of my obsession with old Portuguese tiles and the traditional delft Dutch tiles. . . . #delftdutc #ceramicsculpture #ceramicbudvase #potterylove #handmadeceramics #australianceramics #handpainted #handpaintedceramics #isabel_lopes_artist #adelaideartist #blueandwhiteforever #adelaidemade #ceramicsaustralia #ceramicartist #ceramicsdesign #slowlifestyle #designermaker #ceramicwhale (at South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CljwOiMhOYl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The little pieces are bringing me joy this week. It is the same glaze on these two pieces. The top one was applied thick and smooth; bottom one applied thinner with a stiff bristled brush. I absolutely love them both. I don’t have a huge studio. A multitasking glaze like this is a big deal. (Yes, I still have to try ALL the glazes, but let’s keep the 10 gallon bucket glazes to a manageable number.) @coyoteclayandcolor Blue Purple glaze with my recipe rim. #ceramicglaze #studiopottery #glaze #pottery #ceramics #ceramicartist #instapottery #maker #makersmovement #purple #potteryglaze #ceramiclife #handbuiltporcelain #picoftheday #etsy #etsyhandmade #clayartsutah #lithologyceramicart https://www.instagram.com/p/ClJf0fkJrFY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Tardigrade is a charming little beast with organs of vision, a developed reproductive and excretory system. Incredibly hardy under the influence of temperatures and the absence of oxygen, delicate and fragile at the same time, this creature is one of the amazing creations of evolution.
