CleanMud: How To Make A Chawan
http://mudwerks.blogspot.com/2014/10/how-to-make-chawan.html
Thursday, October 02, 2014. How To Make A Chawan. I just came across this video yesterday. It is fantastic. It is also a very strange coincidence that my very first hand carved chawan. Was done the same way as in this video. Furthermore I went on to make my own trimming tools. And made them the same way as seen in the video. This is like 5 years ago. Anyway, here is the line to the video "How To Make A Chawan.". Jeffrey R. Guin. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Quality of the Day. This Saturday an...

CleanMud: Toad Castle
http://mudwerks.blogspot.com/2014/09/toad-castle.html
Tuesday, September 09, 2014. This past weekend I decided to make a toad castle. I actually threw this on the wheel in two pieces, basically a cylinder and the cone shaped roof. I rolled out a piece of clay and attached it to the roof and then cut the stones out with an exacto knife. Jeffrey R. Guin. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Quality of the Day.

CleanMud: Toad Houses
http://mudwerks.blogspot.com/2014/08/toad-houses.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2014. This weekend I decided to make a few terra cotta toad houses. I'm not going to use any glazes but I will use an iron oxide wash to highlight the lettering and incised lines. These are already spoken for. Not only should I have made more this weekend, I should have made them before summer started. They will look great in the garden. Jeffrey R. Guin.

CleanMud: Hand Carved Chawan
http://mudwerks.blogspot.com/2009/04/hand-carved-chawan.html
Friday, April 24, 2009. Jeffrey R. Guin. Hi Jeff, you chawan is really beautiful and so smooth. I am learning a lot about chawan from your posts. I can't wait to see it fired. Do you start out throwing the chawan or do you carve the whole piece from a lump of clay? Love your birdfeeder below too. Jeffrey R. Guin. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Quality of the Day.

CleanMud: New Chop for the New Year
http://mudwerks.blogspot.com/2015/01/new-chop-for-new-year.html
Sunday, January 25, 2015. New Chop for the New Year. I can't believe I haven't posted anything on my blog for such a long time. I guess it is because I have been working too much overtime and haven't had the chance to write anything or make any new pots. I just received my new potter's stamp ("chop") from http:/ www.4clay.com/. I love it. I'll be using this on all my pots I make this year. Jeffrey R. Guin. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

CleanMud: September 2014
http://mudwerks.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Thanks to my friend Kelli. She asked for a Mr. Turd House and once she had that in her hands she ordered another. Jeffrey R. Guin. I made this toad house for my friends Dan and Amy and posted a photo on Dan's facebook page. That photo post resulted in a Toad House Boom. I think that day I received about a dozen requests, which resulted in more requests. I guess I'll keep making them till the demand dries up. Jeffrey R. Guin. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Jeffrey R.

CleanMud: March 2014
http://mudwerks.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 26, 2014. Next plate- M.C. Escher. This M.C. Escher Fish Tessellation is my my next plate in my famous artwork plate series. I've been wondering how the hell I'm going to tackle this for the past few days and I think I have come up with a plan. First step is already accomplished. I have applied 3 coats of white majolica glaze, as a base, to a bisque-fired plate. I think the next step will be to draw just the outlines of each fish on the plate, with no inner details.
