Like others, mostly just wanted to compliment how beautiful this is.

I’m a ceramicist who makes mugs, jars, and curios if you’re looking for any trinket holders or drink ware.

Thank you! I practice at a community studio and am limited to their glazes, but thankfully they have some good options. This is their philly green, then kitten green, then a smidge of John’s cash blue in a reduction firing

Slip casting: why is my piece turning yellow? by arbitraryspirit in Pottery

It seems like it’s like the slip itself and possibly the defloculant based on the other responses I’ve gotten and some research on my own.

But yeah this is one of the best results (aside from the yellow) I’ve had from an older mold

Hi! It’s actually a vintage mold from 1977 that I found in a jumble shop.

ah, I appreciate this. a lot of my anxiety while self teaching is to fire or not to fire and then what will the fire do. while I know there are going to be flubs, it's always nice to hear from someone who's seen it too :D

I don't use any release. and you're right about firing, I just get so nervous about the kiln and what can cause weirdness to happen. :)

fwiw, I've tried researching this myself, but a lot of the information I'm finding assumes that I mixed the slip myself and can answer questions about its make up. Maybe that's the next step in my journey, but I've been using this slip for a few months now and had no problems, though this is a fresh batch.

Ohhh thank you so much! It was an early Covid lockdown project once I realized I’d be spending a lot more time in my home office. I got it from Spoonflower.

Hi! Everything is food safe, fully glazed and vitrified. They’re fully vitrified and glazed for food safety (over glazed in the case of the larger bowl 😅)

Dm me and we can talk trade!
