Taiko-Earth Pottery: Growing Panes

http://taikoearthpottery.blogspot.com/2013/09/growing-panes.html

Saturday, September 21, 2013. No, I didn't misspell it. The title of this post has relevance to the artistic nature of product photography and all the trials and tribulations that come from learning on one's own. It has been a jagged journey from the beginning shooting with a small point and shoot and a sheet of craft paper. Back in the day I had not a clue what to do but I enjoyed the modest shots of my pots and the response was generally positive. Thanks for taking the time to comment! September Clay C...

Taiko-Earth Pottery: Aiming for Subtlety

http://taikoearthpottery.blogspot.com/2014/01/aiming-for-subtlety.html

Saturday, January 25, 2014. Reminiscent of a quiet, rainy mist, white crystals flow down below a sea of grey. I have been working a lot lately on trying to push my glazes into different directions. My hope is that this round of experimentation will help me to develop a more personal style, something that a lot of effective artists will continually strive to achieve. Instead of choosing more and more glazes and testing them each to the n. Toasty hues break over a cream exterior. Perfect for Maples! Try ch...

Taiko-Earth Pottery: A Few Photos

http://taikoearthpottery.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-few-photos.html

Thursday, July 17, 2014. Yep, I'm a slacker. Been too busy to keep up with my blog and I must say it is rather embarrassing. Oh well, at least things are going good so I won't complain. July 31, 2014 at 7:52 AM. Blog should be for fun and shouldnt be a chore. I am a big, big fan of your pots, always glad to see an update, but there is absolutely no reason to be embarrassed, if there is a slow period. Its better to update only when you want to do so. Keeps the quality high. January 8, 2015 at 1:24 AM.

Taiko-Earth Pottery: Odds and Ends

http://taikoearthpottery.blogspot.com/2013/02/odds-and-ends.html

Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Midrange clay body with glazes from some of my favs: Bright sky blue,. Panicoli's Pale Blue Matt and Panicoli's Fake Ash to name a few. Here are some of those funky kiln space fillers:. The cracks are intentional, both on the rim and on the surface. These guys are really rugged and fun to make. I really enjoyed jigging with the texture. Each little 'rosette' has a rounded cavity and drainage holes. Thanks for taking the time to comment! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Taiko-Earth Pottery: Artistic symbiosis

http://taikoearthpottery.blogspot.com/2013/04/artistic-symbiosis.html

Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Symbiosis is defined as the intertwining relationship of two different species. I admit to using this term metaphorically but I think it fits the bill in this bonsai. No doubt it is a rather untraditional combination, one that invites several second glances. Like a pair of faded blue jeans or an old rusty ford pickup, this guy has quite a bit of visual appeal. Traditionally tempered, yet artistically assertive. Thanks for taking the time to comment! Check out this technique!

Taiko-Earth Pottery: Hibiscus for Bonsai

http://taikoearthpottery.blogspot.com/2013/04/hibiscus-for-bonsai.html

Saturday, April 13, 2013. Here is one of my pots outfitted just perfectly for a customer's Hibiscus. It sports yellow flowers when in bloom which will really add a nice balance to the composition. Its just kinda funny when things just work out, eh? No, I didn't expect this pot to turn out the way it did, but I am happy with the accident! Afterall, if the shoe fits.

Taiko-Earth Pottery: July 2013

http://taikoearthpottery.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 21, 2013. Taiko-Earth goes viral.NOT! This pot was part of a set that was commissioned by the past president of the Bonsai Society of Florida. You can actually see how I glaze the pots in the video. (See link below). Many of you may know that there is a lot that goes into pottery. Science, proportion, and basic math all play their part in the craft of ceramics. In the name of education I was asked to share some of my methods as they relate to my business as a potter.
