Gradients, smudge tool, blur - they’re all great tools, until your art turns into a blurry mess. A soft rendering style is not easy to pull off, which is why I made a video about it ~ this one comes with 3 smudge brushes that I made myself! ✨ Find it here: www.patreon.com/posts/tutori...

Visited the Wadsworth Athenaeum recently and found one of my favorite objects. Head of a woman (stucco) 4th-5th century CE Greco-Buddhist Hadda, Eastern Afghanistan Possibly a bodhisattva (enlightened being), this head was once part of a larger sculpture made of unfired clay.

First shift at the #roguetrainkiln this morning! Successfully ramped it up 100° per hour... thrilled to have a community wood fire kiln just a 20 minute drive away!
Latest bisque load! Fun part: flicking for the ding (no cracks!) Not as fun part: choosing glazes 😭 Anyone have any tips for choosing glazes to make it suck less? #pottersofbsky
