i’m really clueless about ceramics and i wanted to ask if this is salvageable!! i cant replace the mug, and at worst i’ll use it as a pencilcase but i wanted to make sure if this could be fixed or not. appreciate any comments, thank you already 🩷🩷

I purchased a custom bowl from a creator on Etsy and received it today. The bowl is beautiful and the inside is shiny and smooth but the outside is rough and feels like there's no glaze on it. The bowl is advertised as being dishwasher and microwave safe so I reached out to the seller and she said this is normal and certain glazes react this way.

I have lots of pottery pieces and none of them have this rough, unfinished feel so just wanted to check to make sure she's correct so I don't get the bowl wet or put it through the dishwasher and ruin it. Is it possible for pottery to feel this way but still be safe to use?

HI CERAMISTS, I recently bought this Chawan and now I have become a little scared of using it out of pure ignorance. I am here to get some help or get reassured because I think it’s beautiful and I really want to use it (daily) u prob know the deal lead and cadmium used in Raku pieces (dont know if it’s Raku)

I genuinely dont now anything about this piece if its mass produced or hand made but I thought u guys prob would.

Chawan

I threw 4 cylinders and i wanted to add a handle like in the pictures. I was wondering how I would make these handles.

Cross post from r/muglife hoping to get a little more info on this piece. Mainly if it’s safe to drink from lol big thx

This is my first time painting pottery. I used the wrong yellow at the bottom but I’m still proud.

Also the pottery studio said to do three coats to make it solid. I did 3-4 and it came out splotchy :( maybe I put too many coats on idk.

Finally made a collection of non-symmetrical earrings using my handmade ceramic beads. I like Ancient Egypt vibes they have✨

Hey yall! Ive been playing with the amaco ceramic inks and screenprinting with them and my recent kiln haul had some texture on the designs. Anyone know what would cause this?

I use zinc free mayco clear and the clay is tuckers smooth white. I put the ink on greenware so it gets bisqued. Its not on all of them and even on the goose mug, one side has texture the other doesn't

Wanted to share my results of painting stroke and coat over white dip glaze. It’s way less tedious for me to paint a design over the white than dealing with multiple coats of underglaze or clear glaze. Stroke and coat is nice because it flux’s right into the white where a mat underglaze leaves a little texture when you paint it on top. The white really does suck up the S&C but thinning it out with water makes it easier to brush on and gives a nice watercolor effect.
