Have I been in hiding? Not really, but maybe. But I've also been busy.
I've always been a fan of ceramics and ceramicists. 8 or 10 months ago I kind of fell off the deep end in learning about ceramics (probably about the same time as
@jimmydiresta.) I found the YouTube videos of
@vantiki, learned about slipcasting, and began my craigslist hunt for a kiln.
After about 6 months of pursuit of used kilns, I was able to find one for a decent price. Then the real adventure began.
This first design was created in fusion 360 and 3d printed. I made a couple plaster molds (one was good, the other not so great.) I've cast 21 cups so far, fired and glazed these 15. I'm extremely happy with how they've turned out. I have a few other projects that I'm also excited about in various states right now.
I've also been doing a bit of woodworking, but the ceramics have taken over the shop lately.
