Little coffee cups

These handles are still rough, but moving in the right direction.

[jeremysmoler]

Two lids done on these teapots, on to handles.

[jeremysmoler]

Lid!

[jeremysmoler]

Wheel thrown and altered a few times, with more to come.

Time to bisque. I’m looking forward to seeing these with a glaze that will complement the fluting.

[jeremysmoler]

Off to the kiln.

[jeremysmoler]

I’m having too much fun working on these 😊

Someday it will be a pitcher.

Work in progress

Joining and trimming an orb, for use in a larger piece.

[jeremysmoler]

Twin mugs.

[jeremysmoler]

Wheel thrown handles, two ways, on altered mug bodies.

Pitcher.

My favorite part of the pottery process used to be throwing. Now it’s seeing parts come together to make the whole piece.

[jeremysmoler]

Finished pieces in green celadon, two pilgrim flasks and a mug with vertical grooves. I wondered if carving through the mug rim would affect drinking — it doesn’t seem to.

[jeremysmoler]

I’ve been trying out a new technique for putting evenly spaced vertical grooves on curvy mugs. Just put a handle on this one.

Finishing up my take on a “pilgrim flask”, an ancient pottery form with a familiar looking core element.
