A fired bisque vessel with latex resist applied into the carved grooves, and masking tap resist on the body, protecting the raw clay lines while the surrounding surface is prepared for glazing.

A digital painting on an iPad screen showing a ceramic vessel with painted color blocking — mapping out the planned glaze design and color placement before applying to the actual pot.

The fully glazed vessel sitting unfired, with raw glaze coating visible across the surface, loaded or waiting to go into the kiln for the final firing.

Process photos. I mapped out the whole glaze layout on my iPad first. Being able to visualize it digitally made all the difference. #pottery #potteryprocess #ceramics #handmade #手作陶器

A round, squat ceramic vase with a narrow neck, featuring a mottled periwinkle blue glaze on the upper half, bold dark and white vertical stripes on the lower half, and a carved zigzag border between the two zones. Raw clay edges visible in the carved lines.

A detail shot of the upper shoulder of the vase, highlighting the soft ombré transition in the mottled blue glaze as it shifts in tone and texture from the neck down toward the carved zigzag borde

Carved greenware with newspaper resist for pre-bisque glazing — mapped the glaze layout on my iPad first. Visualizing it digitally made the difference. 🔥The kiln has the final say, but this came out as I imagined. #pottery #potteryprocess #ceramics #handmade #手作陶器

Close-up detail of the vase surface showing a dense cluster of small carved oval holes and vertical unglazed ditches. The repetitive pattern of tightly grouped recesses creates an intense textural effect. (Trypophobia warning: this image contains clustered hole patterns.)

Leather-hard clay vase at the greenware stage, freshly trimmed, with blue glaze applied into the carved oval recesses. The vertical ditches remain unglazed and the surrounding clay body is in its natural grey-green unfired state.

Bisque-fired ceramic vase after the first kiln firing. The clay has turned a pale buff color and all surface details of the carved oval hole pattern and vertical ditches are fully visible in their raw, unglazed form.

White ceramic vase with an all-over pattern of carved oval holes, some filled with blue glaze and the vertical ditches left exposed as unglazed. The vase holds a loose bunch of white baby's breath flowers against a white background.

White ceramic vase with an all-over pattern of carved oval holes, some filled with blue glaze and the vertical ditches left exposed as unglazed. Shown alone against a white background to highlight the surface texture and form.

⚠️Trypophobia warning: clustered patterns! ⚠️
Fascinating how patterns unsettle. Each hole carved intentionally, glazed by hand — tedious, meditative, satisfying. I sit between awe and unease. Art that makes you feel something?

Multi-layered bubble glazing 🙌 This piece ended up having a strong blue wave with hints of the “river pebbles” pattern popping through that I love 😃

Five small ceramic vases arranged together, glazed in cyan/blue and white with carved on top, and exposed-clay texture on the lower body.

Group of five small handmade ceramic vases in cyan and blue glazes on top, showing variation across the set.

Made these 5 small vases with similar glazes and surface texture. Anyone else compulsively rearrange their own work or just me?

Definitely one of my favorites so far! Blue bands, white glaze, and a whole lot of patience. Sharing the full journey on this one—from trimming greenware to the final glaze firing. Love when a plan actually comes together!

Not every pot has to be perfect to be fun to trim.

A little wobble.
Some nice ribbons.
Still a great time at the wheel.

The larger vase covered in a layered glaze on the top half that highlights the carved texture on its body; the surface shows a subtle transition of color.

The smaller vase fully glazed, featuring the same multi‑layered glaze treatment on the top half as the larger piece; the carved details create depth and visual interest across the surface.

A detailed macro view of the two finished vases (cyan and white) side‑by‑side, emphasizing the complex, multi‑layered glaze and the tactile texture carved into the necks and lower bodies.

After a year of pottery I’m proud of my steady practice. Instead of chasing every online trend, I stay patient, mindful, and focused on the process. Here are some of the small vases with layered glazes and textures.

For us potters, not every piece turns out the way we envision, but that’s all part of the fun journey! Here are a few of my creations from this year that experienced a glaze mishap. Each one tells its own story, and the mishap doesn’t take away from that! Thoughts?

A hand‑thrown green ceramic jar with a smooth white slip underneath a glossy deep‑green glaze; the surface shows carved ring patterns that create gentle ridges around the body.

A hand‑thrown green ceramic jar with a smooth white slip underneath a glossy deep‑green glaze. The surface displays delicate ring‑shaped carvings that create shallow grooves around the body, and two small drips of glaze pool at the bottom.

The jar’s greenware stage with delicate ring‑shaped carvings form shallow grooves.

This green “honey jar” has subtle ring carvings. After a white slip, it’s glazed deep‑green with a slight drip that gives a fun honey‑jar vibe. The glaze pools in the grooves, highlighting the rings in a lush, forest‑tone contrast. #pottery #potteryprocess

This is a handmade ceramic gluggle jug koi fish. It was such a fun piece to make. Many hours invested from start to finish and it was completely worth it.

More leaf openings that let the light in and a glaze that decided to do its own magic. The coppery blush, the unpredictability.
Perfect as a lantern, a vase, or just a sculptural moment. 🌿🔥

Two trimmed stoneware pots with strips of newspaper resist attached to the sides in horizontal bands.

The newspaper resist is peeled off, revealing the areas where slip was not applied.

Over the paper resist, a white slip is applied to create a bark‑like texture. A green glaze over the brown‑clay stripes yields a deep‑brown tone that mimics barrel rings. #pottery #potteryprocess

Four handmade ceramic cups of various sizes have a horizontal striped pattern in green and brown that resembles old wooden barrels.

Four handmade ceramic cups of various sizes have a horizontal striped pattern in green and brown that resembles old wooden barrels; one cup is in focus while the other three appear blurred in the background.

I began working on these pieces a few months ago. The combination of a crisp white slip with a rich green glaze stole my heart. These four cups, each a different size, turned out great because I took my time and moved through each step slowly. #pottery #potteryprocess

Sometimes you just have to follow through to see what happens with a nagging idea. I like the alternating matte/shiny as the tealight glows.

From clay to kiln to finished piece
I loved watching these spoon holders and tea light lanterns come to life. The glaze turned out just right!
