Bai Ming workshop at Harvard Ceramics is blowing my mind! So glad to be able to learn so much from a contemporary Chinese ceramics master. And especially grateful for my fellow intern, Summer, and her amazing translating skills so that we can learn the most detailed information. P.S. I am accepting ongoing invitations for me to come to China 😊@summerchen_pottery @harvardceramics #pottery #ceramics #porcelain #baiming #baimingceramics

Joel Willson Pottery on Instagram

Check out Joel's Instagram account for more great posts and don't forget to follow! Here are a couple of my favorite posts for you.

I've always struggled with any sort of "decoration", be it finger swipes, drawing, painting, etc. As part of my #apprenticeship this year I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone, not be so precious with pots, and make mistakes in the pursuit of growing as a potter and as an artist. I rather liked this pitcher and was terrified of putting any marks on it, of making a mistake while decorating and "ruining" it. While I'm not 100% happy with the result, I'm proud of myself for trying something new instead of playing it safe. . . #pottery #inprocess #ceramics #ceramicart #decoration #floral #slip #pitcher #contemporaryart #clay #growth #babysteps #ncclay #828isgreat #personalgrowth

Joel Edinger-Willson

I’m very excited to introduce you to my first official apprentice, Joel Edinger-Willson. Joel and I met in Minnesota, where he was recommended to me by Steve Rolf for whom Joel had previously worked. Joel moved to NC with his wife Serena about a month ago and hit the ground running in his new space filling up some boards with his pots. He’s quite a keen eye and has taken some really great pics of the pots he’s making, so check out his Instagram. Click on the pic below and 👉follow @joelwillsonpottery 👈to see his story.

Cutting off the smooth outer layer of clay before shaping it really highlights the earthy nature of the material. . . . #pottery #clay #bowl #wheeltrown #faceting #faceted #ceramics #ceramicart #makermovement #handmade #inprocess #functionalart #details #spiral #makersgonnamake

Plates Flyover

✈️Flyover ✈️ of the plate table. . In my opinion, much of the beauty of pottery making is in the multitudes of pots that can be “mechanically” made on the potter’s wheel. But one of the challenges for the potter is to avoid becoming a machine. An important factor in the creative process is the action one applies to the materials and by having 40 plates to work with, they become a vehicle for play, experiment, and evolution of an idea.

Platter for Archie

This platter was made at @arrowmont_school during this winter’s #pentaculum2018 and now it’s on the way to @archie_bray for their annual benefit auction! It’s a collaboration between Mike Gesiakowski (@mgclay) and myself. Mike took a stamp and transformed the pattern by enlarging and repeating it in photoshop and then made a vinyl print that we transferred to paper and created a slip transfer. I hope that makes sense. Basically Mike did most of the creative work! i just did a little stamping and brushwork to finish it off. I think it’s pretty stunning and am happy to donate it for the awesome cause of helping the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena MT. Follow the link in my profile for more details. Bid often and bid high for this organization and its mission.

Tempo

Last week we saw the rock supergroup, possibly mega-supergroup, Journey and I was wowed and brought to whooping by the drumming of Steve Smith. As expected, the band played their songbook of platinum hits and during La Do Da (Infinity) Steve Smith unleashed an amazing solo. It was the highlight of the show for me. I'm not a drummer but I can appreciate his artful playing. Here's an interesting drum "clinic" that I recently watched, completely mesmerized, and so impressed with his technique! Drum craft!
