Just finished squeegeeing my floors 😅 I’m finally done cleaning and preparing for tomorrow. As I walked back inside from taking out the trash, I noticed how beautiful the late afternoon light is, shining on the pots I have out on my work table for display. I feel very grateful for this space 🙏🏾 #pottery

I'd love some advice from #pottery folk. I've switched from a brush-on glaze to dipped. It's working well, except for two problems:
#1: The glaze doesn't seem to stick to the rim of the cups very well.
#2: The glaze cracks as it cools, rendering the cups functionally useless. I assume this is because of a mis-match between the thermal coefficients of expansion, but I'm not sure. Do I just need a different clay? Or can I tweak the glaze?
Private instance, so boosts = ❤️
#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 4: put a lid on it!
My first ever covered pot. It's functional! And currently it holds dog treats. 🐕

'Delphinus' is a star, leaping from the ocean, a celestial traveller caught between the depths and the heavens.
Born from fire and smoke in the unpredictable alchemy of raku, it's iridescent surface swirls with cosmic starlight, copper reds and nebula blues.
#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 3: an early attempt at "collaring" (more on that here: https://kevinsceramics.com/collar-your-clay-in/#:~:text=Collaring%20refers%20to%20the%20process%20of%20gradually,adding%20elegance%20and%20functionality%20to%20your%20piece), a technique I learned in my intermediate pottery class in January.

Had a couple of my friends’ kids over for a #pottery making session. I’ve known the boy for a year and a half now and I just met the girl for the first time at that skatepark event a couple of weeks ago. I bisque fired the mug she made and today she got to decorate it with colorful underglazes. It was very freaking #cute. They are 4 and 7 years old. I think the moms had a good time hanging out too. #KidsArt
What ancient Iranian medical treatment worked best? Prayer.
In the 3rd century, scientists from different civilizations gathered in Gundeshapur University (now Iran) to exchange ideas about the 3 kinds of treatment:
• medicine by the knife (surgery).
• medicine by herbs.
• medicine by divine words.
In pre-Islamic Iran, divine words were deemed more effective.
Medicinal herbs were dried, and could be worked into pills, salves, or syrups. These were stored in drug jars. Jars for syrup had a spout.
The fritware jar below was made of clay with added ground glass (frit) to lower the fusion or firing temperature. Tied parchment sealed the top; the lip held the tie in place.
Some jars were quite large (½ meter). This one, from the late 1100s, is relatively small at 19 centimeters. Later drug jars had a label glazed on, along with religious icons believed to affect the healing power of the jar's content.
