Portraits of the day. Working towards getting the new work glaze fired tomorrow. I’ve been having issues with my clear glaze when dipping. It was to hard to control the thickness and I would end up with cloudy areas on the pieces. So it’s back to spraying the glaze to get a nice even coating. I do have plans to test to find a clear cone 10 that works for dipping. If you have any leads on a nice crystal clear or even a matte clear drop me a comment. #makersgonnamake #potsofinstagram #christianbaileyceramics #sprayingglaze https://www.instagram.com/p/BsirbfIAVk2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1geq310gsue53

A margarita cup to go along with yesterday’s pitcher. I am not a margarita drinker, I prefer my alcohol simple, rum + ice in a handmade sipper. Oh and yeah I’m still overjoyed with the surface and can’t wait to spray the glazes and get these things fired in reduction this weekend. #makersgonnamake #potsofinstagram #christianbaileyceramics #margarita #drinkup #cup #skullopus #skull #octopus #apocalypse #nuclearapocalypse https://www.instagram.com/p/BseY3vQAFYN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tua2jhbsq1

Working on an attempted murder drink set.

Decorating another prototype, for this time a creamer. I went with a handleless design, it fits well and easy to use so far. I have made and decorated a matching sugar jar and will be making a tray to hold them both. #ceramics #mississippi #christianbaileyceramics #christianbceramics #illustration #clay #pottery #coffee #prototype https://www.instagram.com/p/BqvsEBKgFh9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jyy0dpyng4ku

Sunday studio day. These platters will get a some imagery incised into the surface, some underglaze application, maybe a surprise and then a couple of kiln rides. It was nice to get back to making, i was starting to not like myself. Anybody else feel out of sorts when you go awhile with out making work? #ceramics #mississippi #christianbaileyceramics #christianbceramics #questionoftheday #questions #clay #pottery #sundayfunday #studio #mirrorimage https://www.instagram.com/p/BqnQ8JZAtLm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=175z78wkrl0j0

First step in the chase of that worn surface is done on these creamer and sugar sets. Now to bisque and the next step in the never ending chase. #sgraffito #ceramics #mississippi #illustration #christianbaileyceramics #howiamaco #clay #skull #skullopus https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq01TMigQ_b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=86enyr6s961x

I’ve been chasing this look in my work for almost a year. I’ve always been attracted to the old, items that have lived a life and tell a story. I can’t explain the attraction, maybe I’m what they call an old soul, or maybe I just have an odd aesthetic. Now on to the glazing and final firing. #christianbaileyceramics #olddognewtricks #worn #skullopus #skull #octopus #clay #pitcher #layers #potsofinstagram #makersgonnamake https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsbyg2fgOHL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i7yb5iwsa6sn

Whose got the marshmallows? Attempting a reduction down fire to see what new rabbit holes I can get lost in. Fingers crossed for a happy dirty hairy potter during tomorrow’s opening. . . . #ceramics #mississippi #christianbaileyceramics #christianbceramics #convert #convertkiln #reductionfiring #kiln #gaskiln #flame #fire https://www.instagram.com/p/Brn8hCGjuMp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tz4jj177vyzk

First day of winter break and first kiln firing underway. Had to do something while waiting so clean, organize and finally get my drafting table free of all the junk so I can actually use it. #ceramics #mississippi #christianbaileyceramics #studio https://www.instagram.com/p/BrnxxRpj4H8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qrweh1x2oa8c

It really makes me nervous to have quality control literally sitting on the table and inspecting your work. I mean who can work with that kind of pressure and expect to perform to the highest levels? NiNi determines my work was passable and allowed me to continue with what I was doing. No critique other than per her and feed her more. . . . . #mississippi #christianbaileyceramics #catsofinstagram #cats_of_instagram #stippling #qualitycontrol #surpriseinspection #😺 #wip #workinprogress #willigetthemdownintime https://www.instagram.com/p/BsLreglgiLA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kw3f2g771ryz

Some days I have to maintain my geek card. Here is a piece I did for a local show all about fan art. From line drawing to outline to full color, I lay bare my decision making skills. Good or bad I’m happy with it. I think next time I’ll not wait till the day before to do the piece. #mississippi #illustration #christianbaileyceramics #christianbceramics #doctorwho #drwho #gallifrey #fanart #jodiewhittaker https://www.instagram.com/p/BrOA_rVgz2n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16nsh9qwbpj7j
