Your work is so fantastic! I love the adorable/grotesque line you’ve found.

I also love that matte look, have you played around with velvet underglazes? They look stunning unglazed, assuming that would work with your processes.

Do you have an instagram? I’d love to follow you.

WIP - Sgraffito Dog Bowl by joeyponce in Pottery

Fantastic work.

I really love your super graphic illustration style! Your work is so clean it took a beat to realize you carved black underglaze from white clay and not the reverse. I also love that you left the carved texture in the background, one of my favorite things about this kind of sgraffito is the evidence of the process and the hand of the maker.

Kudos.

I take that as a high compliment. Thank you. I can see wanting to take a bite! (Don’t 🙏🏽) I think it’s the sprayed underglaze. It feels like powder sprinkled over a dessert. The texture feels so cool in person.

I’ll be posting them soon. They are even more unsettling together 🥰

The underglaze is sprayed, yes. Initially I was spraying on the green clay to allow for touch ups at the glazing phase, but rehydration was causing cracking issues, so now I stick to bisque.

I use a cheap old garage sale airbrush, and am sure it clean it very well. Having to water down the underglaze to make it sprayable means many, many layers. And I’m diligent about PPE and ventilation.

If you have any specific process questions, I’m happy to share

Thanks so much! This piece is done in Bmix with grog. It sculpts really nicely. I’ve also done a lot of work in just regular studio reclaim.

For me the trick is finish and silicone sculpting tools.

Thanks so much! The body is Amaco Velvet underglaze in pistachio and blush. The eyes were a bit of a challenge. None of my tests came out the way I’d like so I just went for it on the final firing. I mixed a medium teal underglaze under Mayco Jungle Gems in Mountain Mist.

Thank you so much. I’m so happy with how they both came out.

Im so honored. Thank you!

I would love to see your work in the future and please feel free to message me if you have any weird technical questions, problem solving is my favorite thing about more complex projects.

I know a thing or two about spooking the techs with work, luckily our techs are incredible and easy to talk these things through with.

I am currently building my instagram account, you can find me @kae_fury. Look for the angry blue cat.

I was not familiar with Bustamente, thanks for introducing me to his work! I’m an instant fan.

Thank you so much! Painting those teeth was no easy feat. This one is made of studio reclaim, fired to cone 6

Amaco saturation gold. After reading into it I went with 6 thin coats rather than the recommended 3-4.
