Being a potter means drawing from a vocabulary of tried-and-true forms: mugs, teapots, bowls, pitchers, etc. However, these archetypal forms have European & Asian origins.

I thought it would be interesting to everyone & affirming to other Black ceramicists to reference #African forms in contemporary tableware. The combining of European, Asian and African ceramics traditions goes back to mid-20th century, but that history is omitted from US #ceramic education. See #alttext for details. #pottery

A small jug with a spout, made to reference the iconic form of Nupe storage vessels from Nigeria. The jug is spherical and voluminous at the bottom, narrow at the neck and flares out into a cup shape at the top. It is heavily decorated with carved geometric patterns, painted with orange clay slip from Tennessee, variegated brown clay slip from Lake Ontario and bright chartreuse green glazed accents.

A large storage vessels from the Nupe culture of Nigeria, 20th century. It is dark brown and mostly unglazed except for a few bands of shiny, vitrified slip that have flaked off over the years. It has the same proportions referenced in the piece Osa made, with similar carved geometric patterning. This vessel however does not include a spout and is too large to lift and pour. It was probably mainly used for storage of liquids, grains, seeds, etc.

I love visiting museums. Here is a ceremonial vessel, from the Tairona culture (900 to 1600 CE, northeastern Colombia), depicting a sacred dance. The figures with their elaborate costumes tell us that some things are truly timeless: music, dance, and our need to connect with something greater than ourselves.

Once again.
I'm huge #discworld fan. I re-read/listen everything from #sirterrypratchett once a year. So when it was time to decide a graduation work subject back in #ceramic studies.. I didn't need to think long.

So here's my big Discworld #sculpure. All is there, #a'tuin #elephants and the #disc.
Mostly made by #clay but the sea is melted plastic.
I did take some #artistic freedom with elephants.

This is the only one left of four Discworld #art pieces I've made, that I have permission to sell.

#crafts #craftsman #handmade #fantasy #fanart

Discworld.
Green turtle standing on brown box. Four elephants on top of Turtles light brown shield, holding disc up. One turtle seems to be giving driving lessons to turtle, on is drinking coffee. One stares to emptynes. There's also books between turtle, elephants and Discworld.

With its extraordinary vibrance, this green-glazed jar could have come out of the kiln yesterday, but it is well over a thousand years old. It was made in China in the 8th century.

This type of brightly glazed #ceramic was made for only about fifty years, during the reign of emperor Minghuang – who ruled from 712 to 756 – when the #Tang dynasty was at its height. At the time, the capital city Chang'an (modern Xian) was one of the most populous and cosmopolitan in the world.

For #mugshotMonday I wanted to show off my brand spankin' new porcelain pottery cup that just came out of the kiln (along with a bunch of other goodies)

Hope you all have a wonderful week! Don't let your phone make you sad and grumpy
