I love this so much. I’m a potter and have been working with words on my pots. One of my favorites is a small, shallow bowl that says “begin” in the center, and around the center and out to the rim the word “again” repeats, over and over. I sold that piece and instantly felt its loss, so today i will begin again and make a new one. Thank you for your beautiful words. ♥️
This is such a synchronicity!! My partner is a ceramicist as well and I've been wanting to play with carving poetic verse into his bowls, plates, and/or mugs. How do you put the words on your pots? Do you have a tool you like to use?
Hi Hannah, it’s wild, isn’t? I was just reflecting this morning about how poets have been coming into my life and having a significant impact on me.
I work in porcelain and write text with a needle and fill it in with underglaze. The technique is called mishima. I sponge away the excess (traditionally the excess is scraped away.) I’ll message you a photo since I can’t put one here.
oh shoot, I thought there was a way to attach images to a comment but I don’t see one. I have a couple of posts, though, with images of my work if you want to see an example.
