I have been a plain bowl, a emptiness, I focused on all this time so I might finally know how silence's motion contains me each of our perfect moments.... Sun is rising... more chicken-coop today as a celebration... peace.. Hop

I gotta say, this is one of my favourite mugs. the green might turn out more black than expected, it was a mix of a few things and ...who knows. I can't wait for this to get out of the kiln

Slab built flower vase in the shape of a crocodile with sticking out legs, eyes, and nostrils (and teeth!). A decent prototype, I am planning a number of improvements and more polished build for the second attempt. 🤘🐊

I am making my way towards firing the Gas kiln. Today I was working with the gesture of hand writing. I was not transcribing an actual poem or words, although I did experiment with what happens when I write words fast as if scribbling. I noticed how the shapes of my marks shift. Working like this is one step more abstract than when I transcribe a specific poem through ash or clay and then print it on the surface of a plate. I painted on white paper bags to find the nature of the mark I was after. I must have painted a dozen images and drawn a bunch more small sketches and then finally committed the gesture to the clay. After I finger painted through the slip I cropped my favorite part of the painting out of the bigger slab and once again I was reminded how working bigger than my final plate is so important to the energy of the line.

ngl it bums me out how fast everyone hopped off masks not just for covid/communicable diseases but just the concept of revisiting personal safety equipment in general.

long post i guess

I've been taking a 5 week pottery workshop on wheel throwing (it's neat!) and we got up to glazing last week. When you glaze pots, the glaze starts as a a thick liquid and then dries really quick into a powdery form (on your clay piece). I was asking my instructor about clean up and she was like "oh you can just rub off the excess carefully, but try not to get dust in the air as it's a little toxic. obviously you're wearing a mask but the rest of us aren't"

(my partner and i wear masks b/c it's inside and that's just what we still do. it sucks but it's better than covid and also now inhaling dust/fumes)

I kinda wanted to respond "maybe we should all be wearing masks??" like if not for covid concerns, at least for the semi-toxic powder we're all just handling/some folks are breathing in O.O

(i didn't b/c tbh i'm still a little on edge with the going out/doing stuff in public thing/esp indoors and people misgender me/mispronounce my name constantly and honestly sometimes you just want to do ceramics and not fight with people. it also just didn't feel winnable)

I feel like there's so many things like that that people just disregard as a risk that don't need to be, but as a society (US at least), we just never wanted to have that conversation (it was at best, begrudging, at the height of government awareness of covid and now it's completely gone by the wayside). At this point people either respond negatively or aggressively to any suggestion of it.

But like we've all had that one art teacher/professor who was a little bit off b/c they'd just been inhaling toxic paint fumes their whole career and it was always written off as just a quirk/part of the job (maybe things are better now? new art students feel free to chime in) and not something that could have been mitigated.

idk, it just makes me sad that we never got to even have the conversation about how so many jobs/hobbies should use more personal safety equipment than they do (either b/c people feel inconvenienced by it or don't know).

(tangent but i remain appalled at how many people i see riding bikes/etc around here that don't wear helmets! it's fucking wild to me, like we had the "wear a helmet or your head will be shattered like an egg" demonstrations as early as elementary school in massachusetts. Like it's just silly not to, and yet so many people in cali are like "a helmet? i don't know her". Also adults will agree that children should, but they shouldnt?!? wear a helmet for biking/skating/etc is the hill i will die on, esp on pavement)

#text post #masks #safety equipment #anyway you should mask up both for diseases and handling toxic chemicals or things that produce toxic dust #stares at cosplayers cutting/drilling/heating up pvc/foam without masking #obvs there's different sorts of masks so do some research into what you need #but like you only generally get one pair of lungs #covid also still a thing #and the flu and other stuff #so still good to mask indoors #and wear a god damn helmet #rant i guess :) #pottery #also a lot of the glues people use for cosplay etc are toxic af #be ware of oil paints too (they make water soluable ones that are slightly safer) #lots of art disciplines use unsafe chemicals which people just don't realize i think? #my favorite “off” professor would compare human muscles to slabs of beef and go on at length about how he loved to go buy meat to paint #he was also an oil painter so def been inhaling the fumes #i took another life drawing class with a different professor and that guy clocked me as having taken meat guy's class immediately lol #meat professor had a unique way of teaching figure drawing

Told my friend today about the bad art post (everyone has a certain amount of bad art in them and you need to make the bad art to let it out? That one) and I am informed it is a certified rowena opinion

#she is so like “I'm going to do art! but i am bad at art!” and i keep being like then make bad art! #today we were glazing her first ever potteries #(a few pinch pots and a slab mug) #and she was saying this and i kept being like but it's YOURS #she's enjoying pottery i think. and it's a good thing to do together #shout out to whoever reblogged that post today btw i am sure i saw it at some point from someone

GATES........ It was Smetana It was Zelenka Living ghosts stirring my heart Time's reflection only smoked mirror's hold blowing wind-dirt-roads of Bukovinka to Brno into Past's lonely eye You know now the way it was for us you know nothing unless you carried the violin through canyon dreams to Menin unless Light's flute touched each hardening step to Otnice Yes, I am sure That is Our Way this single breath of misdirection road map divisions control our paths forever by gun by tattoos signs salutes unformed man and of course the dragging harp Delayed mystery hanging in the air of what man does to god tears become our working drinking wells I am touch, a trusted old Cello A slow Bow to it all.... as it happened I am Sorrow's painted idiocy's regretted chalk cycles without hurting Dead seed suffering resown mistakes farmed from life's flow plowed, harrowed then raked into unseen rows I am Hope and was there every day Ones Millions Ours Sing now.for me your scream Such sad Partisan songs as the Moon tuned into the starving way without building a better world we each...Loved listening until we Died. Was it Martinu brother mine? that the soul's rent paid The most savage thing our hearts felt left like forgotten trampled weeds where we were laid... We still suffered when we loved We were forced to watch Then... to Play hs

I actually got it all recorded. here’s a commission, a fox take on the bunny jar

the carving took about 2.5 hours, the building took about the same. the jar is 11” tall

BISQUE FIRED CUBE

The Soma cube I have been working on is nearly finished and just needs to be glazed.

I’m happy with how it turned out as it was quite complicated but the pieces don’t fit together exactly so it could have been done more carefully. Although it was my first attempt so I think it’s pretty good. It’s about 30cm by 30cm so it took a lot of work.
