The last round of cups were nice, but the glaze application may have been too thick in hindsight.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351953203605067823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015866180891664441.post-67307286084668349092016-08-15T07:46:29.657-07:002016-08-15T07:46:29.657-07:00I like the contrast of the strong colors; wonderin...I like the contrast of the strong colors; wondering about smaller scaled shapesLinda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015866180891664441.post-78652382869152989542016-08-14T16:25:19.462-07:002016-08-14T16:25:19.462-07:00Mmmmmmm cake...Mmmmmmm cake...Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351953203605067823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015866180891664441.post-60237703245330177992016-08-14T16:24:36.881-07:002016-08-14T16:24:36.881-07:00Hey Carter, thank you for writing and adding a few...Hey Carter, thank you for writing and adding a few of your thoughts to this. You often leave me chewing on a point as I head back out to the studio. <br />These plates are for a possible upcoming project and aside from the objections I stated, I'm guilty of making assumptions about the tastes and preferences of a audience that I really know too little about. It's a specific local audience that I'd like to encourage a new appreciation for gift giving of studio ceramics.<br />I need them to "feel" sensuous and joyful in the hands. <br />Once the form is dialed in, I'd like to seriously explore the surface. <br />I have a taste for busy ;)Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351953203605067823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015866180891664441.post-66508345695187859842016-08-13T11:37:30.662-07:002016-08-13T11:37:30.662-07:00"they are going to be too overpowering and bu..."they are going to be too overpowering and busy when used to plate desserts.

I understand all the hesitations you point out in your critique, but I have to admit that one of my challenges has been to accept those things more in my work. Especially the heavy/clunky and overpowering surface design. Neither is my first choice, and i admit to being biased against them, but learning outside that box has proved so important. <br /><br />My advice is that you don't give up on those aspects, but that you figure out more about what those limits are. Things that are new are almost always challenging, and we interpret them by default from what we've already known to be true. That only makes it harder to understand new truths. Seeing new truths is the challenge here. So keep exploring. Don't backtrack too quickly, but maybe even go deeper, and see what it really means to be clunky or overpowering. From what I can see you are nowhere near those limits yet :)<br /><br />Good luck! Have fun!carter gillieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744265678233135968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015866180891664441.post-81476128213450089162016-08-13T05:48:18.003-07:002016-08-13T05:48:18.003-07:00What about something along the lines of the tests ...What about something along the lines of the tests you showed in your last post! Subtle designs with a glaze that would look great with various foods on it. I think any salad would look amazing on it. Would the glaze do the same thing on a flat surface that it did on the vertical?smartcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430370214403895826noreply@blogger.com
