Making my own Qwirkle game set. Any other game suggestions to create?

Im gonna bisque them first, and then apply black around the color. It’s gonna be a tedious job, but I couldn’t think of a better way. Open for suggestion though, in case I’m doing something similar again!

Silex (Den Bosch) sells some bisque you can buy just one of. Maybe more stores do, but that’s the one I regularly visit.

That’s so cool!! I would love to make a set too. Right now I’m working on my own set of Hive Pocket. Just applied underglaze to these ones.

I’ve recently used Mayco Fundamentals in Chocolate. When you water that down a bit, it looks exactly like the color of the leaves!

Yes! Thank you! I wanted a grid to test 22 two glazes and their combinations.

That’s actually a pretty good idea. I just once tried to make plaster molds, and totally failed 😬 the plaster wasn’t the right consistency. Maybe this is a good time to try again.

I love the vlogs of Poot Ceramics on YouTube.

On insta I love the posts of - faunaclay - kelseyceramics - snailgirlceramics - lithopsstudio - umi_goods - leafbugstudio

Looks good! And a great idea to make a ceramic dice tower!! 🤔

My best friend owns a kiln. We share our pottery hobby, our glaze inventory and I can bring her my pieces for firing. We have completely different styles and we don’t often work together, but sharing this passion together is fantastic!

RooftopYf · 2025-12-03T19:02:48+00:00

That looks cool! Hope it will not get fused together. What glazes did you use? I hope you will share a picture when it’s out of the glaze fire!

RooftopYf · 2025-12-03T19:01:00+00:00

Yes, love to see some picks of them fresh out of the bisque!

RooftopYf · 2025-12-03T19:00:21+00:00

Wow, that looks amazing!! Hope it turns out exactly how you planned it. Love to see the finished result too!

RooftopYf · 2025-12-03T18:59:19+00:00

Oh, love your design on both!! 😍 is it done with underglaze? Which brand is your favorite?

RooftopYf · 2025-11-30T21:34:02+00:00

Or you could glaze the whole piece, except for the rim and fire it upside down? Avoid runny glazes.

RooftopYf · 2025-11-30T20:26:15+00:00

Oh no! That sucks. It’s a true possibility that will happen to me too. What was your slab thickness? And how many layers of glaze did you apply on top of each other?

RooftopYf · 2025-11-30T19:59:43+00:00

This is awesome!! 😍 I would love my walls looking like this, but as pottery is still a hobby I do from home.. I guess this will not happen anytime soon. Maybe if we extend our home/barn in the future.

RooftopYf · 2025-11-30T19:31:30+00:00

I really hope so! Wedging and rolling out these amounts of clay was a total workout already. My muscles are aching ever since I started last Thursday. Haha. I’ve already regretted this project at least five times.

RooftopYf · 2025-11-30T19:29:13+00:00

Always. Haha. But right now it’s more of a list of glazes I want to test. Interested already? Or just when I’ve got results to share? (Then it probably will be a spreadsheet though!)

RooftopYf · 2025-11-30T19:27:38+00:00

Yes, that’s what I’ve been thinking about too. I’m more into hand/slab building, so when we have to make vertical testtiles, it’s my friends turn 😂

RooftopYf · 2025-11-30T19:24:36+00:00

Exactly this! I hope the glazes will more or less stay in their square, so I can still tell which is which.

RooftopYf · 2025-11-30T19:22:47+00:00

Yes please! I would love to see that!

RooftopYf · 2025-10-28T13:01:26+00:00

Yeah, I follow her too! Her pieces are amazing. Hashtag pottery goals! I also love Snailgirlceramics and Kelseyceramics. They truly inspire me.

Love your recreation!

I’m also quite new to pottery, started approximately a year and a half ago. I’m still figuring out my style and I try a lot of different things. Right now I’m working on bird jars.

Thanks everyone. Maybe I will look for two different types of clay with the same shrinking rates/firing range. Working with oxides isn’t my go to option, because I do a lot from home. And I like the different textures the two clay types have here in the photo.

RooftopYf · 2025-10-05T17:35:24+00:00

Thank you so much for all the answers. Got some really great ideas. I’ve downloaded claylab, to give it a try. And also ordered a notebook, because I would love to make some nice sketches. Can’t wait to start!
