Howdy Hey! 👋

My name is Benjamin and I am a pottery teacher and ceramic artist based near Portland, Oregon.🌲This account has been my place to share some ✨ pottery tips and tricks✨ that I picked up along the way as well as a peak at the process I use to bring my pots to life - fret not there’s a lot of chaos and shenanigans along the way too. 😙

A few things about me:
🐈‍⬛ I have a cat named Nutmeg that makes an appearance every now and then
💍 I am happily engaged to my partner Garrett and am currently trying to reign in how much ceramics will be involved in the wedding haha!
🌊 I grew up on the Oregon Coast and I feel like the nature and feelings from there heavily influence my art
☕️ Mugs are taking over our lives - there is a whole wall in our living room for just mugs!
🥕 I have a deep love for carrot cake

If you found this page and are starting here, I am so grateful that you found yourself here and I can’t wait to share some pottery with you! 🙌🙌🙌

New form goofin’! Yesterday in the drink-ware class I’m teaching we were playing with compound hand built forms and it was so so fun.

Way back when I started in ceramics almost all of my mugs were hand built forms - it was something about the texture and charm of a wonky slab mug that made me so happy. I’m not exactly sure when or why(probably when I started high quantity production) I left slab building behind a bit. Though, playing with slabs with my students has definitely reawakened my love for these silly little forms.

The bottom of each of these pieces is a small hump molded bowl and coil foot for the slab cylinder to sit on top of. I’m really enamored with the soft complexity and playfulness of these pieces and can’t wait to make more.

What do you think I should do for glazing? I’m thinking of underglazing each piece a different color then lining the inside with clear 🤔 let me know in the comments!

Swipe to see these mugs glazed!!!

I’ve been working with this new clay body for my mugs and I have finally gotten a round of tests out with glaze. I really like these white and mint colored pieces but the other ones I’m not too sure of.

It stands to show that just because a glaze works well on a white clay body, it doesn’t mean it will be the same on a darker one! Often the iron in red/brown clays will activate glaze chemistry in different ways making completely different colors. What do you think about these colors??

This morning I am sitting in my living room and looking out over a foggy fall morning. The trees are so so pretty right now, so I thought I’d share a pot with a tree on it.

This form was super fun to make but before it ad the tree on it I was pretty unimpressed and worried about the “shape.” But sometimes the surface of a pot just asks for what it wants and this pot wanted a douglas fir tree. This one’s for you Oregon!

Where are you all from?
