As some of you know if you follow me on Instagram (angrypixiecrafts) and on Twitter (@angrypixiecraft), I was asked by the two owners of BOL porridge bar, a brand new restaurant in Paris, to design and make bowls for them. Here is the second part of the pics of the making process. Head over to their Instagram if you want to know more about them, and to mine if you want to see more making pics of all my other projects.

Ethnic patterns are everywhere at the moment, and I especially love them on ceramics. So I decided to compile a little selection of ceramics with ethnic inspired patterns. Let me know what you think, which ones are your favourites, and if there are other ceramic wares that you like with ethnic patterns I did not show, do send me a photo! 1- jessica wertz 2- sandra victorino 3- demon potters 4- monroe victorino 5- mark sublette 6- dorothy torivio 7- april napier 8- oddwood+kar

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

I am a big fan of Justine Allison’s ceramics. They are pure, white, delicate and subtle. Have a look, I am sure you will want them all. #justineallison #ceramics #handmade #porcelain #vessels #unique

I was recently asked to write a blog post about my journey as a self-employed ceramicist. If you want to know more about my reasons for deciding to become self employed, the challenges I had to overcome, the rewarding parts of being self-employed, and other things about me and my business, read my blog post here. #ceramics #ceramicshowto #handmade #makingceramics #pottery #unique #vessels #angrypixie #selfemployment

In this video Alan Paulson teaches how to make a plaster mould for slip casting. This one is a drop out mould (one part) but I will be posting later on a video about how to make several parts moulds. #mouldmaking #plastermould #ceramictutorial #ceramics #alanpaulson #ceramicshowto #crafts #handmade #makingceramics #pottery #unique #videotutorial #vessels

I am currently working on a range of tiny coffee cups with their small spoons. Here is a sneak peek of the making process. #coffeecups #ceramics #crafts #handmade #makingceramics #pottery #vessels #unique

This demonstration by Ingleton Pottery shows how clay vessels can be pierced for decorative purposes. Phew! I don’t know if I would be patient enough! #ceramictutorial #ceramics #ceramicshowto #crafts #handmade #ingletonpottery #makingceramics #pottery #vases #unique #vessels #videotutorial

I am so excited! Kvinde magazine just released an article about Angry Pixie! Kvinde is an online magazine that talks about inspiring women and what they do. Read this lovely article here. #kvindemagazine #ceramics #crafts #handmade #pottery #unique #vessels #vases #jewelry

Pretty “céramiques de laboratoire” by Marc Uzan, inspired by laboratories. I love the colours and the flawless textures of those pretty little ceramics! #marcuzan #ceramicists #ceramics #crafts #handmade #pottery #vessels #vases

I am increasingly looking at how I could add patterns and drawings onto my ceramic pieces, especially for my jewellery as I have a few ideas in mind for my next collection… Here is a video by Erin Furimsky called ”paper stencils and underglaze transfer” demonstrating how to create handmade transfer paper and how to apply the transfer afterward onto clay. #erinfurimsky #transferontoclay #ceramictutorial #ceramicshowto #crafts #diy #handmade #illustration #makingceramics #potte

If you are a ceramicist and just got your first kiln, this could help you. Beth Peterson explains in details how to load a kiln. #ceramics #crafts #handmade #pottery #makingceramics #vessels #ceramictutorial #ceramicshowto #loadingakiln

I personally tend to make my vessels with the slip casting technique, but I am more and more tempted to work with a wheel… I might throw my next collection? Here is a video by Ingleton Pottery showing how to throw a teapot. It is quite mesmerising and makes want to throw right now! #ingletonpottery #ceramics #crafts #handmade #makingceramics #vessels #videotutorial

If you are short of presents for Christmas, look at the lovely work of Brittany Delany. I love her necklaces ! She uses a lovely palette of white, green and blue. #brittanydelany #christmas #christmasgift #ceramics #crafts #gift #handmade #jewelry #unique #vases #vessels

How nice it must be to share your passion with your partner! Have a look at James and Tilla Waters’ website, a couple of ceramicists who make their ceramics from their workshop in Carmathenshire. James throws the pieces, and Tilla is in charge of the colours, decoration etc. #jamesandtillawaters #ceramics #crafts #vases #vessels #unique

I am a very huge fan of Luke Bishop’s work. I love the blue and orange colour palette he uses, and the mix of latex and porcelain. Check his website, it is worth having a look. He will be exhibiting from the 22nd of Nov to the 17th of Jan at the New Ashgate Gallery in Farnham. I hope I’ll get a chance to go! #lukebishop #ceramics #crafts #event #exhibition #handmade #unique #vessels
