I’m working on a new pottery surface design technique. New to me, at least: they have been doing this for many hundreds of years in Asia:

Carving a clay stamp, firing it, then using it o stamp the clay while it’s still a little bit soft. It reminds me of the thought process when printmaking.

I’m going to use a celadon style glaze to bring out the texture and beauty of the porcelain clay.

It's been awhile since i've had a kiln firing. I fired her up last night, and the kiln gods were (mostly) kind to me!

Here's the finished teapot with doves that I carved on the 4th of July. It pours great!

If you want to see the rest of the pots, i just shared a gallery with everything on my website.

Fancy a crafty farm day in Cornwall?
Join us this Friday July 18!
A spin off of my current graphic ethnography on sustainability craft cultures, I’ve been invited to draw with handmade charcoal this Friday at the Craft Farm event organised by the Flax Project and Royal College of Arts. They'll show the old techniques to make artists' charcoal, and there will be basket weaving & natural dyeing. And ofc, me sketching live.

I have Made a Thing!
The ridiculousness of this is that this tool I have made is for a craft that I've only put a toe into so far - spinning.

Okay, so what is it that I've made?

On the left is a diz. I didn't make it, I'm repurposing a pendant that I had in my supplies.

The tool on the right is a diz-threader; it's for grabbing the end of the fluff and pulling it through the diz when starting making the roving. This is the thing which I made, and I'm quite pleased with it. A length of tigertail folded over, threaded through some beads, crimped, and a clasp attached to the end. The clasp is so that I can attach the diz-threader to the diz when I'm not using them.

I've spent the last two days editing, improving and creating new patterns so I don't have many "finished" products to show you. However, I've just added a few small keychain grimoires to my website !
Yes, you can write in them (but not for long^^) and yes, they're sturdy (see mine on my keychain for over a year).

Concerning the Rule of Cool (and Other Observations)

During a recent trip to our second home in Norway, I had the opportunity to do an interview with one of my former Litreactor students, who lives in Berlin. (For the first time in our online association, we were in the same time zone.)…
