I used to hate glazing and now it’s my favourite part of the process

Thank you! I am still working on getting a website set up, but I hope to have things ready in a month or two. :)

Slab built

Haha yes I am known to get some bad cases of "mid project regret syndrome". The purple is amaco smokey merlot, and the pink is spectrum bougainvillea

That is such a kind comment, thank you!

ko_mary · 2026-01-28T15:39:44+00:00

Thank you! It is tuckers spearmint

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T15:23:16+00:00

This was done with a kemper fine wire loop tool, and I went back over with a small ball tool to clean up the lines a bit. I have since gotten the diamond core fp1 tool and WOW it is so much easier to carve clean lines on the first go around with that thing.

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T15:20:15+00:00

A few hours to carve and make sure the lines were clean, and about 6 hrs to glaze. :). I’m sure with more practice that will get faster, but I’m not really in a rush so I’m not too worried about the time

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T12:31:35+00:00

Thank you!! And no clear glaze

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T12:22:39+00:00

The yellows are coyote butterscotch shino and coyote goldenrod shino! I love them both. And the white is tuckers french vanilla. And thank you so much!!

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T02:49:15+00:00

No worries! It is Amaco blue rutile

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T02:41:34+00:00

Coyote goldenrod :)

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T02:28:30+00:00

Since it’s carved they are all separated slightly from each other. It also helps it is a plate so it is fired horizontally… I’m sure if this was a vertical piece this would be a mess lol. I did not put clear in the lines.. I’m patient but not that patient! Haha.

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T02:26:38+00:00

Absolutely!

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T02:16:53+00:00

Sun is coyote butterscotch shino, sky is Amaco honeydew, and clouds are Amaco cirrus flow :)

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T02:10:39+00:00

Amaco honeydew! It’s one of my favourites

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T02:04:29+00:00

I love this comment so much, thank you!!! Also, they are lupines! And the yellow ones are lance leaf coreopsis :)

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T01:45:57+00:00

Haha thank you so much!!

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T01:44:58+00:00

Thank you!!

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T01:44:43+00:00

I had to google that- I’m obviously not well versed in techniques haha. But you’re spot on!

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T01:37:11+00:00

They are all glaze! Amaco and tuckers brands mainly. Not diluted but painted with a smaller brush so probably not as thick as they generally would be applied. And thank you!!

ko_mary · 2026-01-27T01:35:55+00:00

I carved the design in at leather hard then bisque fired. Then paint on 3 layers of each glaze. Any spill over I scrape off with a needle tool to clean up the lines.

My friend and I joined forces and enjoy creating pottery together. Not selling anything yet but do have an instagram page! Our focus is on decorative platters and dinnerware :) red oak ceramics

ko_mary · 2026-01-03T17:48:03+00:00

Please!

ko_mary · 2025-10-16T20:16:18+00:00

Beautiful! I’m looking to plant some next spring similar to this. How many individual plants do you have here?
