Ramen Bowl Painting Pt 2

Here's the other half of the ramen bowl brushwork/painting. It somehow escaped the other post and it's Part 1. ;-)

Painting Video--Rough Draft

I'm loading my kiln today, but managed to have Lillian take some video of my brushwork. I think I need another take or two, but for now I thought it would be nice to share this with my readers as an advance rough-cut, and when I am finished firing I will put these together in a more polished version.



 I will be in Seagrove this coming weekend for the 10th Annual Cousins in Clay. More info on that show can be found here! I hope to see some of you who can make it.

Guillermo Cuellar

Guillermo, me, Laurie Cuellar

It’s been an honor to show alongside Guillermo Cuellar at his studio during the St. Croix Valley Pottery Tour. Guillermo invited me to the 2016 tour and I showed for the last 3 years. Here is an excerpt from his statement that can be found on his website,

Clay is infinitely receptive and expressive; it records the character of the maker, the circumstances of making and the use given to it. In use our hands can sense every mark, every ridge and dent, left by the hands of the potter. Maybe that is why so many potters love to cook, it gives us an excuse to handle and appreciate these wonderful pieces.

Exquisite beauty can be found in pots made primarily for use. They may dwell more comfortably in a home, a kitchen, or the dinner table, than on display in a gallery or a museum. But to me their significance comes not only from the preparing and sharing of food but also from bringing that unique beauty into our daily lives.

Edges

These plates were stacked and I was ready to paint some patterns on them but was struck by their borders. 🤔 How important are patterns with edges like this? If you’re familiar with my work, you probably know what I’m about to do, but what would you do?

Ramen Photo Shoot

photo: Kyle Carpenter

I met up with Kyle Carpenter last week and we had an amazing ramen lunch at Gan Shan Station West! Kyle had the great idea to see if the chefs would use one of my bowls to serve the noodles. It was delicious, but before I took a bite, Kyle took a few pics, because that's how we do it.

Drying in the Sun

Here are the last pots for Tuesday's firing out drying for a bisque firing. It's only been a week but I made as much as I could for the upcoming Cousins in Clay These inlay pieces are more of a departure from floral patterns, but I'm enjoying the geometry.

Cori Sandler Slip Trailing

Here's my friend Cori Sandler using a slip trailer to create a beautiful scrolling raised floral pattern. Enjoy.

When it’s raining outside doesn’t everyone slip trail??? Are you a spiral fan or a circle fan??? I can’t decide myself.

Fooling Around With Slip

Here's repost from Georgia potter, Vernon Smith "Foolin around with slip. These types of patterns I find too busy for plates and bowls, but it's fun to play with fluid lines in motion on the wheel 😁

Sir Mixalot

I’m mixing different amounts of iron into my clay to get more contrast between clay and inlay. When I get the right amount I’ll have a ton mixed. My apologies for the “hyper” hyperlapse.

Handler

There are many little steps and subtle moves when pulling a handle on a mug. I tried to “squeeze” them all in in this short video.

Dotting Roulette

Here’s a dotting roulette made from a cross section of a branch, then I drilled holes to automate a line of dots for my inlay process. i’ve modified my @mkmpotterytools roller handle to keep my roller in the center. Enjoy!

Kevin Kowalski Awesomeness

"Reposting from Kevin Kowalski's awesome Instagram feed! From Kevin's original post: "Decorating a flask with chrome green oxide on yellow flashing slip. In the 1800’s and 1900’s this technique was made popular with Mochaware makers. I first saw this technique when @ceramicartsnetwork featured a clip of Robin Hopper using Mocha Diffusion on his plates. This technique along with soda firing has influenced my work for the past three years." A post shared by Kevin Kowalski (@kowalskipottery) on May 20, 2018 at 8:45am PDT

Paint with a Mop: Slippery When Wet

I often joke at workshops, that I can paint with a mop when I get warmed up. Unfortunately I'm not making pots scaled for mopping.  But Kwak Kyung Tae is! Here is a great video of him doing the mop trick on one of his massive pots! Enjoy and click below to see more of his fine work.

Plate Trimming

For some potters, trimming is not much fun, but for me, I love it. A foot on a plate is not only an elegant support for the main face of the plate, but also serves as a handle of sorts, a place to grip when moving the plate from cupboard to table. These are the things I think about when I’m trimming. I hope you enjoy the video and feel free to ask questions and/or comment. i love your comments! #potteryvideos #potteryvideo #michaelklinepotteryvideo @klineola #howto #ceramics #pottery #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #cousinsinclay #klinepottery #plates #art#howicreate

2018 Yunomi at CLAYAKAR

Here is a behind the scenes look at just a small fraction this year’s stellar collection of yunomi at CLAYAKAR.COM 👉@clayakar👈Do you recognize any of the potters? I made a pilgrimage to Iowa City, Iowa after the St. Croix Pottery Tour last weekend, to visit Sanjay and Jigna Jani, the folks who brought you the gold standard of online pottery exhibition, AKAR Design. Their annual Yunomi Invitational has been wildly successful and this year’s collection will be splendidly available at 10 a.m. CST. Some of the pieces can be seen in 360°! Because of several scheduling conflicts, this will be the first year i will be absent from the show. 😔 (but I guarantee i will be there clicking through hundreds of cups by 180 potters)

2018 ST. CROIX POTTERY TOUR

Today I added one more credential to my wall, my St Croix Valley Pottery Tour name tag. It has been a real blast and a true honor to be part of this renown pottery event! I had always wanted to do the tour and 3 years ago Guillermo Cuellar made that dream a reality by inviting me to join his studio for the tour. I have fond memories of spending the tour weekend with some real giants in our pottery field and making lifelong friends. Thanks to S C Rolf @scrolf.potter1, Wayne Branum @waynebranum, Sue Tirrell @suetirrell, Amanda Dobbratz @adobbratz, Mike Norman, Dick Cooter, and Jim Lorio. And, of course, a great big THANK YOU go to @guillermopottery and @laurita_maccuellar for taking a chance on me. Their generosity and hospitality are boundless and Stacey and I will always be grateful! . . #stcroixpotterytour #stcroixpotterytour2018 #theroadtostcroix #guillermocuellarhost #potterydreams #hellomynameis #mingeisota #minnesotapottery #guillermocuellarpottery
