a slice of summer
Meet Bowen’s newest roadside stand, open now๐Ÿ’• 

Built by @tristanpaulcasey using yellow cedar and wavy glass.
Yellow cedar (roasted) and stoneware. I treated myself to an air compressor and glaze sprayer and am super happy with the smooth finish on the letters. #babysfirstaircompressor 

Roadside stand open August 24th ๐Ÿ’•
I made four of these. One cracked when I stamped the bottom and one developed glaze defects in the firing, so now there are two. 
Shino glaze with manganese and iron wedged into the clay for the speckles๐Ÿ–ค
Super excited to invite you to the opening of our new roadside pottery stand! To celebrate we are have a garden ceramics sale Sunday, August 24th from 3-5pm. Would love to see you there!๐Ÿ’• 
Please dm for location๐Ÿ“

The darker lines on the rim are where the soda glaze hit and carbon trapping occurred in the glaze. A little bit of magic you hope for but can never guarantee. 

Available late summer, more details to come๐Ÿ’›
Freshly bisqued and ready for the soda kiln next week ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ”ฅ
3 mugs. Thrown, inlaid, and glazed with shino and soda ash. โœจ

One mug a day is a totally fine production rate, right?๐Ÿ˜…

An extra juicy mug fired in the wood ash of some Alders we had to remove due to rot and lean. The tree ash contains all the minerals needed to melt and fuse with clay in a high-fire ^10 firing, but every firing is different based on the type of wood,
Remember that teapot? Here’s what she looks like now covered in shino glaze and wood ash โœจ
