My Ask Box Is Open.

—As always, but I’m pretty bored right now. I spent the day weeding the yard. I don’t feel like moving. Fire away. http://beanman.tumblr.com/ask

My squiggly wire experiments are mostly trial and error, but I’m wholly  satisfied with how this one turned out. Long time bean-fans may notice I brought back an old favorite glaze combination.

and-thou-said replied to your photoset: I have some grinding to do. This is the first run…
cone________ ??? if you dont mind filling in the blank

It’s cone 6 oxidation! Cool, right? I suspect wizards were involved.

Coyote Clay and Color has 2 copper red glazes for cone 6 Ox… Whoa, I just figured it out. The glaze’s name is kinda punny! The one I prefer is called oxblood, though I sometimes wonder if they’re different glazes at all. They’re both tricky, and one will often come out looking the way the other is supposed to.

Anyway, they work through some mysterious force known as a “local reduction agent,” Which means you have to stir it really well and near constantly while you use it, otherwise not enough of this magical compound will get on the piece and it’ll be white. Still, it seems like a crapshoot just how red and what shade of red you’ll get. With the same glaze on the same clay body I’ve gotten anywhere from purpley maroons to bright bright reds.

Q:Hate to say it you just faceted it and stretched it and that lip naturally happened not a rule u bbroke. Just the consequence of stretching it. Just a josh deweese nknock off. Sorry. And that horrible glaze too. Sorry just being honest. Where the foot. Huh.

duberskaolin

My first almost-hatemail ◕‿◕ One more Bean-milestone to check off the Bean-list.

Also, I googled that guy(I’m not familiar with him, sad to say), and the images of faceted warped pieces I saw were sodium silicate treated and stretched parallel to the cut.  I’d say my facet pieces are more like Mark Peters “nknock off”s  http://ceramicartsdaily.org/pottery-making-techniques/wheel-throwing-techniques/pottery-video-of-the-week-a-new-twist-on-a-faceted-bowl/

If you ever check back, I have a queued post coming up tomorrow with a picture of the foot. Until then I’m afraid I’ll have to leave you wondering where the foot is.

Warped. Warped. Warped.
This looks like I did everything wrong, right? The whole thing is uneven. Well, when you know the rules by heart, you can break them.

I have some grinding to do.
This is the first run off I’ve had on a piece with a foot like this. It’s a very runny glaze combo (Coyote’s Oxblood and Gunmetal Green, which are both prone to flow alone, but flow more when together.)

The middle mug from my last post, after being heated to about 2200F
It’s really weird, but amaco ancient jasper is like a satin glaze on this new clay body. Still, I’m more than a little satisfied with how this turned out.

Can I buy this? Where can I buy this?

If you have 25 bucks and you live in Richmond VA, you can buy it at the earth day art Festival “Fool For Art” This weekend at John Tyler Community College :U
Barring that, it may be a little more difficult.
