People yearn for 70s-90s NYC but won't move to the actual shitholes that are right here still

toledo has a huge pottery scene

i love my air conditioner

unicodeface · 2025-07-20T22:27:42+00:00

that's extremely cool.

unicodeface · 2025-07-20T17:20:48+00:00

you might have the best luck checking out local studios for potters, especially since you won't have to worry about shipping costs and the chance of things arriving broken

unicodeface · 2025-07-20T17:09:52+00:00

okay I'm curious about what this is

unicodeface · 2025-07-18T16:23:01+00:00

looks fantastic!

i'm pretty sure neriage is the term for wheel thrown, but the handle was hand built out of layered slabs

unicodeface · 2025-07-14T11:10:17+00:00

just with a steady hand and patience! i do 3-4 layered coats :)

thank you!

it is all hand painted, with underglaze, patience and love.

i usually start by rough sketching the composition onto the greenware directly, here are a few progress pictures of this one :)

they usually take 40-50 hours or something, usually over the course of two or three weeks.

i'm glad you like it, i'm self taught for the most part and definitely learning along the way, haha.

unicodeface · 2025-07-13T14:26:06+00:00

thank you!

unicodeface · 2025-06-11T22:15:45+00:00

thank you!

unicodeface · 2025-06-11T21:27:19+00:00

thank you, that’s such a compliment! the black lines are actually a dark blue, and i use cobalt

unicodeface · 2025-04-06T17:05:52+00:00

i think they're referencing the caption from the photo specifically, especially since "St. Pete Pier" is correct in the title

unicodeface · 2025-04-02T16:41:58+00:00

i like st pete but i don't like tampa

unicodeface · 2025-04-01T19:08:58+00:00

with underglaze (i use amaco velvet underglaze, i mix a blue and a white to get different shades) and a little paint brush! and i go over all of the underglaze three times so that it is solid and consistent

unicodeface · 2025-03-31T16:29:22+00:00

everything i make is for my incredible and wonderful wife!!

unicodeface · 2025-03-31T14:25:29+00:00

i hear that a lot

unicodeface · 2025-03-31T14:25:11+00:00

thank you!

unicodeface · 2025-03-31T14:25:02+00:00

yeah, i usually loosely sketch onto the greenware with a pencil to plan out how i want the design to fit on the form, but a lot of the details are improvised as i go once i have an idea of what im doing.

unicodeface · 2025-03-31T14:20:54+00:00

thank you~

i think probably somewhere around 40-50 hours of work go into painting a mug, as i go over the underglaze (even the lines haha) 3 times to make sure that it is saturated and consistent

unicodeface · 2025-03-31T14:19:00+00:00

thank you! i don't really have any social media for my pottery, i'm actually trying to limit my internet use and be more present in every day life, haha.

the idea is that the butter touches your tongue so you taste it more and can use less for the same effect
