Planning some yeti-lid-friendly tumblers, but I need to get the dimensions precise. These sauce bowls are trimmed to 1/16th-inch steps, to test shrinkage for this clay & glaze. Looks like I'll be aiming for 3 7/16" inside diameter after trimming. 😅 (3 10/16" ID wet)

If you're near Denver this weekend, and looking for a chill pride activity… Pity+Fear (but different this time) College Hill Library, Westminster @ 2pm

Mia [data-css=poetic]@miriam· Jun 3

ah, funny, I get the same result as you unless I print the editor page.

printing the entire codepen layout, all the grid lines remain in place

Mia [data-css=poetic]@miriam· Jun 3

I'm seeing lines on both axis

schedule grid preview in codepen with days across the top, and breakfast/lunch/dinner down the left, and grid lines creating a table-like layout

The best photo spot in our house requires a step stool, but I think the results are pretty good.

A gas fireplace with multi-layered mantle, covered in books and paintings, nicknacks, and a range of my pottery scattered. on one corner, a couple vases with fake foliage, salt and pepper shaker, and lidded jar sit framed by the brick wall. At the bottom, a step stool.

My angular pottery: a vase, soap dispenser, salt n pepper shakers, and a lidded jar – framed against a brick wall.

working out a new form on the left, for a friend who requested a travel mug. goal is that it fits a commercially available lid. and letting a porcelain light jar dry inverted on the right.

seven angular pieces staggered in two rows across a ware board. first is short and squat, then one with a cup holder narrow base, a dramatic flare out in the middle, and a gentle angle into the rim. next has a similar base/flare but then bends in and back out to the rim. third is a straight angle from narrow base to wide lip, then an inverted version of the narrow/flared/angled form but with a more gentle thrust out. finally an inverted jar, narrower at the base and angling out to a wide high shoulder, then back to an inset rim. next to it, a lid.

Name a TV show you feel like no one remembers but you Draw Squad Wait, was the show actually called Secret City? Or did I just watch Draw Squd videos from the library? Was my childhood a lie? Was Indianapolis real? Did I even learn to draw from a Commander Mark?

Over the shoulder, a man is drawing 3d sci fi worlds on a large paper that fills the blurry 80s tv screen. He's in some sort of uniform, with a headset mic

Back to my other design engineering job for a couple days.

A stage with blue and amber lighting in the back, and a monitor in the foreground showing the light plot

Mia [data-css=poetic]@miriam· Jan 24

Prototype jar of light. It has some issues to work out with the mounting and wiring, but I'm happy with the proof of concept. Maybe at some point, a wireless version.

Hand holding a porcelain jar with 'Light' painted on the side. The jar is glowing amber from inside, brightest where the walls are thinnest.

Same jar, with the lid off and light pouring out the top like a lamp.

Mia [data-css=poetic]@miriam· Jan 22

ajar

it's actually a large jar still wet on the wheel made of porcelain

Mia [data-css=poetic]@miriam· Jan 13

Some large noodle bowls that came out over the holidays. #pottery One has a slight glaze blemish, but otherwise I'm happy with them. Using Rocky Mountain BMX clay.

Four nested large soup or noodle bowls, with notches in the rim for holding chopsticks. The bowls are wide and round with a small foot and deep rings of texture from the base up to a wide smooth outset rim. The glaze is a deep red brown that pools to blue in the grooves, with a galactic white and blue textured drip from the rim.

Those four round bowls beside three angular conic bowls with deep foot rings and the same texture/glaze on angular sides up to a wide rim with similar notches.

Mia [data-css=poetic]@miriam· Dec 21

I heard you like to shake salt and pepper out of things

six small white porcelain forms, angular like cylindrical coffins - half wide at the top, and the others wide at the base. Most have five holes in the top arranged like dice pips, but one is still solid, and one has a needle tool sticking out the top

Mia [data-css=poetic]@miriam· Dec 20

Mostly gifts and commissions - some in porcelain, and some using bmx/ironstone/speckled brown trout reclaim.

ware board from above, with an array of circular pots of different sizes - some light, some dark - some upside down and solid, others with openings of various sizes

Mia [data-css=poetic]@miriam· Dec 9

Very happy with the concept, but had some serious glaze issues… like it just totally filled in the holes. lol, oops. I'll try again. Porcelain with clear glaze and a cobalt wash. We all agree which is for salt vs pepper, right? #pottery

The left form angles out from the base about a centimeter then angles in slowly for several inches to a flat top with five holes. There's a spray of blue wash from the base up the bright white form. The right form is the exact inverse, a wide angled top, sloping gently to the base - the blue splatter coming from above. It also has five holes.

A pottery story in four acts

An empty clean potters wheel with a board of trimming tools, spinners, calipers, ribs, and a mirror

Same setup but the catch basin is full of trimmings and there's a large angular bowl upside down on the wheel - a spinner on top of the tall foot.

close up, the foot trimmed through, the bottom of the bowl a hanging chad.

Fragments of thinly trimmed bowl and a large foot ring sticking out of the water in a reclaim bucket.

Working on some new band merch for an upcoming house show. (logos will be white and red when they're done) #pottery

low angle of a large cup in black clay, still leathery, with a short foot ring, rounded wide base, and then sharp angle in to a narrower lip. the teacup gorilla word mark is hand carved one word in slab serif caps above the other in a cursive script. The teacup e is lowercase and rotated slightly forward. The cup handle is a small ring sticking out the side.
