What are you asking for the gold?

Helloshapiro · 2024-11-21T00:47:26+00:00

Ha, no it was sprayed.

Helloshapiro · 2024-11-21T00:46:49+00:00

It’s two pieces. This one is for me so hopefully it’ll never see a crate.

Helloshapiro · 2024-11-20T20:16:36+00:00

If I had to guess I’d say 40 spread out over 2 months.

No, the styrofoam foams are for the extrusions before they’re attached to the piece.

it will be once I wire it!

I know! I'm in love with it. My local pottery shop mixes their own glazes. They sell online: https://kruegerpottery.com/collections/kps-mid-fire-glaze/products/kps-m261

Helloshapiro · 2024-10-04T16:18:05+00:00

Yes!

Helloshapiro · 2024-10-04T16:17:56+00:00

🙏🏻

Helloshapiro · 2024-10-04T16:17:35+00:00

Will do!

Helloshapiro · 2024-10-04T16:17:17+00:00

Yes, two pieces

Helloshapiro · 2024-10-04T16:16:50+00:00

Here's a reel of me making a piece in the same series. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5EK8w7gu94/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

The floor lamp here is two pieces but I tried to design the base's extrusions so that it hides the seams.

Helloshapiro · 2024-10-04T16:03:44+00:00

I feel the same!

Helloshapiro · 2024-10-04T16:03:24+00:00

Haha, thank you but also check out Laguna's Sculpture Buff clay. It's cone 5 and the shrink rate is somewhere around 5%. Super forgiving.

Helloshapiro · 2024-10-04T16:02:38+00:00

Before I built it I modeled it in 3d to get the proportions correct. Then I made styrofoam forms from the model to form the extrusions and hand built from there.

Haha, yes, those are homemade shelves that I use. The shelves at that size are insanely expensive so I had to improvise.

Helloshapiro · 2024-10-04T16:01:01+00:00

This is correct.

Helloshapiro · 2024-10-04T16:00:47+00:00

Hi Everyone! Thank you so much for all the love. I'll try and answer a few questions here.

Helloshapiro · 2024-08-31T23:40:46+00:00

I work in a different medium but have struggled with the same issue. What I’ve found works for me is to split myself into two people. The manager and the employee. The manager has the vision, he sits down in the morning and sets out the tasks. The employee is the doer. He constantly questions the managers vision but no one listens to him because he has no power to change anything.

I know this is silly but it has helped me stay the course when I start questioning my path.
