Small batch crystalline ceramics and other special effects glaze chemistry explorations. Trying to rebuild my community from Instagram. October drop date TBA. Available work ⬇️ https://bio.site/SarahNikCeramics
I’m doing a small subscriber drop tomorrow morning, are you on the list? www.sarahnikitopoulos.com/contact #ceramics #glazechemistry #pottery #glowinthedark #specialeffectsglaze #ceramicglaze #gloopglaze #glazetesting #testtiles #porcelain #contemporaryceramics #functionalceramics #pottersofbluesky

Just relisted a few pieces I got back from a gallery to my webshop. I’m having a 20% off sale now through Monday with code MEMORIAL25 www.sarahnikitopoulos.com/shop #crystallineglaze #ceramics #glazechemistry #pottery #ceramicglaze #porcelain #functionalceramics #pottersofbluesky
Long time no post, I have a few glaze projects spinning but here’s some winners from the last phase of testing for the blue/purple iridescent crystalline glazes. Pushing further into the purple range and even into some peachy pink/coppery tones #glazechemistry #ceramicglaze #glazetesting #testtiles
Very grateful to have made it into In Hand II opening next week at The Art School in Demarest, NJ. Honored to be featured with so many other talented artists whose work I admire, and that I made it onto the show card! #cupshow #coffeemug #contemporaryceramics #functionalceramics #pottersofbluesky
Feels like Ceramics Bluesky really petered out after that first month 🫤
Happy #mugshotmonday! This grey+white zinc crystalline mug is currently available at @mudflatstudio.bsky.social as part of their annual cup show: www.mudflat.org/projects-8?p... #glazechemistry #crystallinepottery #ceramicglaze #contemporaryceramics #functionalceramics #pottersofbluesky #coffee
Highlights from the latest round of testing. Always worth it to do another remapping of a series. Lots of cool but generic Moly crystal results out of this survey, but I’m chasing these purples and blues 💜💙 #crystallineglaze #glazechemistry #ceramicglaze #glazetesting #pottersofbluesky #testtiles
Finally working on a test tile mold for my casting slip. This will be the positive that the plaster is cast off of once bisque fired and soaped up with Murphy’s Oil Soap. Scraping firm leather hard clay into shape is so satisfying :)
These pots are now available online at Mudflat Studio: www.mudflat.org/projects-8

If I’m firing a kiln, I try to fit in as many tests as I can (without getting too sidetracked…) I’ve been wanting to revisit this surface treatment for some time now. Years ago I made these Mt. Fuji-inspired ikebana vases, but lately I’ve been thinking of this treatment for a new series of lamps.
I thought this one deserved its own post :) I’m still picking apart this glaze and testing a few more variables, but I couldn’t resist getting it onto a form as-is. #crystallineglaze #glazechemistry #crystallinepottery #iridescentglaze #iridescent #ceramicglaze #glazetesting #pottersofbluesky
I’ve been busily working away without much documentation. Here’s a few of the nicest pipes I’ve ever gotten out of the kiln waiting to hear back if they’ve made it into a show. #crystallineglaze #ceramics #glazechemistry #pottery #crystallinepottery #ceramicglaze #slipcasting #pottersofbluesky
A collection of small bud vases in what I call my “black pearl” glaze. The glaze and forms are inspired by Tahitian pearls. This is the last week to get free USPS shipping in my webshop, code is on the site in my bio. #ceramics #glazechemistry #pottery #iridescent #ceramicglaze #pottersofbluesky
Thinking back to this commission from a couple years ago. It’s one of the most satisfying projects I’ve ever done and I hope I will be able to continue to do things like this in the future. #ceramics #glazechemistry #iridescentglaze #ceramicglaze #contemporaryceramics #lampware #pottersofbluesky
I’m still working on some new work so won’t be having a Valentine’s Day drop this year; instead I am offering free USPS domestic shipping from now through the 14th with code FREESHIP at checkout for work already in my shop. Link in bio. Here’s some thematically appropriate Sweethearts colored mugs
I’ve been dragging my feet on photographing and listing this cup. So instead I’ve been taking it for a test drive. #crystallineglaze #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #glazechemistry #pottery #crystallinepottery #crystalline #ceramicglaze #macrocrystalline #functionalceramics #porcelain #yunomi #coffee

Ca-Mg-Ti crystalline glaze on a large mug. #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #crystallineglaze #glazechemistry #functionalceramics #pottery #porcelain #madeinaskutt #mug
A few fresh tests out of the kiln. I’ve been calling this family of glazes “Peacock”, but it also, in a more abstract way, always seems to evoke Monet’s water lilies for me. Time to scale these up. #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #crystallineglaze #iridescent #glazechemistry #testtiles #madeinaskutt
More reposting of previous work. Thinking I might revisit this iron red glaze again soon. #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #crystallineglaze #glazechemistry #functionalceramics #pottery #porcelain #tomatoredglaze #kakiglaze #handmade #mug
A few slipcast pipes I’ve made. They remind me of skipping stones and fit nicely in the hand. #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #crystallineglaze #glazechemistry #functionalceramics #pottery #pipes #slipcasting
