Hi!
This is last minute, and not even a blog. I've decided I won't be get a website up in time, so in lieu of that, I've made an announcement email list: https://buttondown.com/daboross/.
I'll post an email to that when I create an actual new place for my pottery, so if you're interested, subscribe there.
Best of times to all post-cohost. If anyone seeing this is going to the Seattle Cohost Wake, I'll be there.

I think this might be my only post on this set of five bowls.
I worked pretty hard on these, but even this picture is from a month ago. This is a follow up from bowls: round 1 in which I made my first set of 3 small bowls of this shape.
The clay is Seattle Pottery Supply's Klamath Brown, and they're glazed in Sky Blue and Orchid.
I thought I'd post a bit more in-process pottery today! I've been working on making small bowls, and this is my first batch of three. I'm halfway through a second round, but it's fun to post once they're completed and the second round is still waiting to be bisque fired.
I'll follow up with some more shots of throwing these bowls, but I'm overall relatively happy. Three out of nine balls ending up in roughly the shape I want is pretty darn good, and despite none of these being exactly the same, I did get matching rim sizes on two of them, and the third is roughly the same shape scaled up.
No idea why it's bigger, by the way. Each ball of clay was weighed out to 680 grams pretty exactly.
