I haven't wrote in over a year. I just started my 2nd and last year as a grad student at Alfred University in NY. Going back to school has been such an incredible experience for me and I am at a place where I want to start sharing what I am working on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Throughout the year, I hoping to share studio shots of works in progress or working environment - unveiling some of the hidden aspects of what I do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7BI3iNkpHkGxiPB5w4FP8k8YF1iCAqXre7NSKlL9-rrcgphyo9ZEr0QlvN6H8WQ8D5487TXgxTAasBMvzk7i5uvMBh7Gow3DGQkigH_c2V5YlhGR6NefKSmYxIPOA47yqDwsk1D42_70/s1600/IMG_2534.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7BI3iNkpHkGxiPB5w4FP8k8YF1iCAqXre7NSKlL9-rrcgphyo9ZEr0QlvN6H8WQ8D5487TXgxTAasBMvzk7i5uvMBh7Gow3DGQkigH_c2V5YlhGR6NefKSmYxIPOA47yqDwsk1D42_70/s640/IMG_2534.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Typically, artists show and send images of their completed works. I find that the studio environment and entire process of making - everything from mixing my own clays (brown, white, blue, gray, groggy, smooth, hi-temp, mid-range, low-fire), testing glazes, mixing up slips, using wax resist, paper stencils, latex, plaster molds, hand building, wheel throwing, firing all types of kilns (reductions, oxidation, salt, soda), etc. etc. - all of this research, experimentation, possibilities...is what keeps me in the studio.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The end result of all of this questioning is a ceramic object, which, in and of itself, gives purpose to this studio endeavor. The end result propels me back into the studio to begin the cycle again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Today's video is short, sweet and nothing fancy - pouring white slip on a brown pot. White slip is liquified white clay. I do this because colored glaze is most vibrant on a white background. Enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Here's today video - Trimming a Plate. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">After I throw plates, I let them sit out for day, flip them over, cover and let the clay moisture equalize during the next day. Its easy to get wonky plates - they must dry slowly and evenly. At minimum, I wait two days until trimming. The consistency of the clay is of hard cheese. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I don't use my splash pan to catch the trimmings because it fills up so quickly. So I let myself become buried in chocolate shavings and sweep them up at the end. Enjoy!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Recently, a lovely couple contacted me through my etsy about creating their tableware. Ellen and Vinnie will be getting married in late fall and I will be working on finishing this exciting project for them within the next month. I thought it would be an *extra* special project for all parties involved, if I documented the process of creating all of the work. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Usually, it is very difficult for me to force myself to take pictures while I am working because I like to stay focused. However, I think this is the perfect opportunity to be more intentional with documenting and sharing what I do. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Hi! </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My work has changed directions. It's very refreshing. About a month ago, I spent a day doing my favorite activity ever: testing glazes. No really, I love it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Anyhow, I got some pretty spectacular results from this test. I couldn't believe it. Really though, I have never been so thrilled by a batch of tests before. I just had to use them. I had to showcase them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I brought those tiles home with me every evening and back to the studio in the a.m. for 2 weeks straight. #nerd </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I made 1000g batches of 16 glazes. (paired down from 24) Yep thats right, I am now working with 16 beautiful lush, soft, matte, inviting colors. Every color of the rainbow. Here is a sneak peek at the new look.</span></div>

I had a great week in the studio this week. Recently, I've been working in "Speckled Brownstone" which is a mid range light brown clay. I fired an entire kiln of work made in this clay a few weeks ago, but it didn't work great with my surface on many of the pieces. It has manganese in it, which gives it a highly speckled surface and looks just like iron spots. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this week, I switched over to a low-fire terra-cotta that can be fired up to cone 5 (maybe 6) and turns a deep, creamy brown color at that temperature. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Working in a new clay body & color has given me new ideas and an entirely fresh look at what I making. Although, as I am making these new ideas, I've been finding myself thinking "that looks so much like ________'s work". So that is a struggle, but I am working through it. </div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The last two weeks I committed to making things other than mugs and I am going to carry that momentum through April as well. This week I worked on jars, pitchers, and oval platters. My surface lately reveals floral elements which I am enjoying, however my next batch of work I am going try to combine my past abstract, lyrical surface and this more stylized floral imagery. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUXWpHsHGWNr5aNtIicXK2gRcO1ZYBzmPeTUxxit47QY6ymW_FVIsyFhSTzwPegtO84ZeEAvVeIaUMQRRyS3Xpcbt8pL72fyujnluo8VDrM0bxkXX0ZRgRQK5kCyJEaXoSaYN22VY8vuQ/s1600/IMG_0004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUXWpHsHGWNr5aNtIicXK2gRcO1ZYBzmPeTUxxit47QY6ymW_FVIsyFhSTzwPegtO84ZeEAvVeIaUMQRRyS3Xpcbt8pL72fyujnluo8VDrM0bxkXX0ZRgRQK5kCyJEaXoSaYN22VY8vuQ/s1600/IMG_0004.jpg" height="640" width="468" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">With the Holiday season approaching, I have been working on getting together a few shipments of mugs out to various places. Here is the latest batch. By Wednesday this week I'll post new pitchers and plates on my <a href="http://lydiajohnsonceramics.com/">website</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Looking forward to slowing down after the holidays and experimenting on some new forms and large platters, but for now I got to keep cranking out work. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I started flipping the cups upside down when applying slip. I think it increases the energy of each piece. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Over a month ago I switched to a mid range white stoneware and am still working on getting the right color combinations.I think these are getting there. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Working on some new slip color palettes. In undergrad, I did a series of prints with essentially the same colors as the last color group and was told it was a "weird color combination". Here I am, three years later, coming back to the same weird combination. I like it. </span></div>
