Pretty good kiln opening. This is all earthenware scrap that was given to us that we reclaimed of unknown manufacture.

Better Photos of Our New Tile
Posted in Backsplash, Bath, Carpentry, Ceramics, Concrete, Kitchen, Photography, Pottery, Tile on May 31, 2011 | 2 Comments »
We thought we’d take some better photos (ie not with our phone) of our new tile now that it’s grouted, cleaned and sealed.
New Tile Installation
Posted in Backsplash, Bath, Ceramics, Concrete, Kitchen, Tile on May 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
We unloaded the accent tiles for this installation out of the kiln with a sigh of relief this morning. It was their second trip though the kiln for glaze firing. The first time was at 06 with less than stellar results and this time at 05 and they’re prefect. We installed these this afternoon and [...]
Testing Clay Bodies and Throwing Lidded Jars
Posted in Backsplash, Bath, Ceramics, Kitchen, Pottery, Tile on May 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
We’re going to see if stoneware clay would make a much better tile clay body than the earthenware we’ve been using. So we made a 15 x 15 inch vineyard tile to test Laguna B-Mix 5 to see if it would pass or fail. We also made some sweet lidded jars including one we did [...]
Setting Things In Their Place

We photographed some napkin rings Angi has been working on for our Etsy store yesterday afternoon. We tried using natural window lighting rather than our normal studio set up for some beauty shots giving us more of an editorial look to the photos.
What A Difference A Clay Makes!

Use the right clay and the crap doesn’t blow up. After prying a section of our first attempt at glaze firing one of these 15 x 15 inch tiles out of one of the element holders of our kiln we knew it was time to try a clay other than Miller #10 to make our [...]
We Take A Break From Grinding Stilt Marks…

To notice the lighting coming in through the window in the shop looks really nice on Angi’s new napkin rings.
New Stamped Trim Tiles
Posted in Backsplash, Bath, Ceramics, Kitchen, Tile on February 15, 2011 | 4 Comments »
We made some new trim tiles that will be going in our Laundry/Pantry. The dark gray clay is Amaco Versa 20, it fires to a decent white at 04 bisque. These will be glazed in a aqua crackle at 05, the stamped squares should pool some glaze nicely. My progress on building a tile extruder [...]
Metal or Clay
Posted in Backsplash, Ceramics, Kitchen, Tile on February 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
It’s kind of hard to tell. We are making these using Amaco Versa Clay which is a dark gray very plastic body when wet and fires white. These are going on the backsplash in our Laundry/Pantry, and will be glazed in a burnished steel and put on a blue crackle background.
A Trip Back To The Vineyard
Posted in Backsplash, Ceramics, Kitchen on January 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »
We made this backsplash insert a while back as an option for a clients kitchen. It’s gorgeous and it’s now for sale on Etsy. It features a wide 3″ trim border that was cut and mitered at the bisque stage so all the ends have a nice smooth glazed finish. To think we use to [...]
