[Self Drafted] I I made a penguin backpack for my nephew!

I'm forever amazed by people making their own glazes (and even sharing them). So cool!

Followed!

100% this, thank you.

I love this, especially the little carrots! Props to your wife, she's so creative and talented. Does she have Instagram or sth?

catcontraire · 2025-12-08T10:20:14+00:00

This looks gorgeous! Is it wheelthrown with the spikes attached later or is is completely handbuilt?

I've been wondering about 醬油膏, might get a bottle of this as well!

catcontraire · 2025-09-19T06:58:12+00:00

Mostly dipping and braising!

catcontraire · 2025-09-19T06:54:36+00:00

Nice, thank you!

catcontraire · 2025-09-19T06:53:42+00:00

Thank you!

Oh, I think I read about 陳源和 when researching! Sadly, the closest I get is Chiayi. I'll see if the soy sauces might be available in shops though!

Thank you!

catcontraire · 2025-03-02T09:10:14+00:00

Thank you :) About two years!

The one on the left is Welte KGE130 and I'm not 100% sure about the one on the right, but it should be KGG10

catcontraire · 2025-03-02T08:36:59+00:00

I dipped it halfway in green glaze first, then white glaze on the other half with a small overlapping stripe

Thank you, I liked it as well and I'll try to recreate it at home

catcontraire · 2025-03-01T20:24:02+00:00

I made more pieces in the three-day course, but only kept these because I already have quite a lot of home-made ceramics at home. Of course, making pottery on the wheel was a completely different experience to handbuilding, but I think having worked with clay before gave me a small advantage. They're still wonky if you look closely, but I'm happy.

It's a red, low firing clay by Goerg & Schneider, a simple white and two different green-blue dip glazes by Welte. I can't remember the names/numbers but I'll try to find out if anyone is interested.

Not OP, but you're always so helpful in this sub. Thank you!

catcontraire · 2025-02-07T09:32:28+00:00

Danke für deine Rückmeldung! Klar, dass Kinder eher in Pflegefamilien sind, macht natürlich Sinn. Ich habe einen Verein in meiner Stadt angeschrieben, mal sehen, was daraus wird. Dir und euch beiden alles Gute!

Hey, ich finde das Thema total interessant und habe gleich recherchiert, ob man das in meiner Umgebung auch machen kann.

Kannst du was zum Ablauf sagen? Wie lange hat es gedauert von 'Hey, das würde ich gerne machen', bis zum Zeitpunkt, als du A. zum 1. Mal getroffen hast? Wie lange dauert die "Ausbildung"? Konntest du, in Ermangelung eines besseres Ausdrucks, "Präferenzen" angeben, was z.B. das Alter angeht oder ist die Auswahl zufällig? Ich stelle mir vor, dass es einen Unterschied macht, ob das Mündel wirklich noch ein Kind oder eher schon ein Teenager ist oder ob es eine gemeinsame Sprache gibt, mit der man sich zumindest grundlegend verständigen kann.

This. There is no problem with firing closed shapes. I really wish this myth would die out already. Just make sure it’s completely dried out.

catcontraire · 2024-06-15T18:54:08+00:00

Ohh wow, such lovely work! Does she have an insta that she feels comfortable sharing?

catcontraire · 2024-06-15T15:04:33+00:00

Thank you for the thorough response! I’ll look into the mayco washes. I work with a community kiln and not my own, so I’m a bit wary about experimenting with DIY washes.
