I've been working on sgraffito designs. Praying to the kiln gods that it will survive the bisque stage. Fingers crossed.11mo ⋅ MorningStar60 ⋅ r/Pottery
My all natural Easter eggs. I made these eggs using the wild flowers and leaves found on my morning walk. You put the eggs in old nylon stockings to keep the flowers and greenery in place. You boil them in water with onion skins for 15 minutes and leave the eggs in the dye water until cool.3yr ⋅ MorningStar60 ⋅ r/crafts

I thought I'd try printing a Lino on top of a Lino instead of a multi-block registration, or reduction print. I discovered that ink type matters and it worked best for me when I used the oil based inks instead of water based inks. Working light to dark is a must since some inks are translucent.2yr ⋅ MorningStar60 ⋅ r/printmaking
Learning to hand build using the coil method. I made this teapot and learned so much in the process. Now to dry and bisque. Keeping my fingers crossed that it comes out of the kiln in one piece.2yr ⋅ MorningStar60 ⋅ r/Pottery

Sgraffito cat plate - On this plate I painted on 3 layers of red slip clay on a leather hard plate made with white clay. This created the layers for sgraffito.1yr ⋅ MorningStar60 ⋅ r/Pottery
I did this portrait of my granddaughter via dry point etching. I used cross hatch and lines for mark making on this project. It took several pulls I finally get the ink and pressure correct. Next time I'm not going to make so many marks on the face. Lesson's learned.2yr ⋅ MorningStar60 ⋅ r/printmaking
Blue Fox Lino is another example of using different colors of ink directly on one block/plate. I varied the tone of blue and painted the legs on the plate to add dimension to the work.3yr ⋅ MorningStar60 ⋅ r/printmaking
My unintentional double image. It’s a skull, it’s a cat. Dry point etching.3yr ⋅ MorningStar60 ⋅ r/printmaking
So I decided to cut this Lino into puzzle pieces so I could ink and print in more than one color. I didn't account for the jute back on traditional Lino. BIG MISTAKE! I messed up the edges around the cat. They became jagged and uneven causing a messy print. :-0!3yr ⋅ MorningStar60 ⋅ r/printmaking
I've seen videos about polishing greenware with a spoon or smooth rock as a finish in place of glazes and thought I'd try it. Problem: the clay got very hard before I could get the finish as smooth as I liked and the slip glaze smeared while being polished. Any tips or help is appreciated.1yr ⋅ MorningStar60 ⋅ r/Pottery
Help! Can someone tell why I'm getting these random blisters on my pottery. The cup was bisque at cone.04, then glazed at cone.05. The glaze crazed so I decided to fire again at cone .04 with a bisque load to see if the crazing would resolve. The crazing resolved but the blisters happened.5mo ⋅ MorningStar60 ⋅ r/Pottery
