My little butter dish
I am really not a morning person, and I easily get annoyed (and annoying) when I wake up. I especially get annoyed with butter that is too hard to spread on the bread… So I made myself a very small butter dish to have soft butter every morning. This one is for me, but I will be making some soon to sell, probably in various colours. More making pics here : https://www.instagram.com/angrypixiecrafts/ #makingprocess #makingceramics

My brand new old teapot
I had a teapot that used to belong to my grandmother, which had been lying around in my attic for a while. The lid was missing so I decided to make a brand new one, so I can start using the teapot again. I think that’s the start of something new for me; I have got plenty of old unused objects because they have an element missing, so I decided that I would try to make myself the missing part. I think I am going to hunt for such objects in charity shops and people’s attics, and

Still learning how to throw.
As you might know I decided to take some throwing classes; as I tend to use the slip casting method usually, I thought throwing was a very useful skill to learn as well. I started by making cylinders, then I learnt how to make lids for my cylinders in order to make boxes. Then I will gradually move on to other kind of shapes. I discovered that throwing is a lot like the practice of a music instrument, it takes time, effort, dedication, it is sometimes frustrating, and it is L

Make your own Ceramic 3D Printer
I recently posted about Olivier Van Herpt and his 3D printed ceramics, that you can see here. I got the chance to attend a demonstration by Jonathan Keep a few months ago where he was explaining and showing how to use a 3D printer to make ceramic wares. I already knew quite a bit about 3D printing, but seeing the cup literally grow before my eyes was still impressive and mesmerizing. In this video, Jonathan Keep explains how to make your own ceramic 3D printer. I am consider

Learning how to throw
My ceramic practice is mainly based on casting clay (slip casting). I thought that it was about time to start learning how to throw! Once a week I spend a few hours throwing in a Parisian studio, and I must admit it is a lot harder than what I expected. Here are some photos of my very first trials. #throwing #clay #handmade #ceramics #makingceramics #pottery #vessels
