Out crisscrossing the yard this morning looking for signs of underground springs. Here's hoping I find a good source. #waterwitch #diviner #water #spring #racheldecondeceramics #novascotia #canada
Korayne @kokomodfloral in Dartmouth always make it look so easy. My work, @looking.glass.design and air plants. Couldn't be better. #buylocal #dartmouth #downtowndartmouth #floral #airplant #ceramics #racheldecondeceramics #novascotia #gift #wedding #birthday #canadianceramics
Patience. Always waiting for something to dry, something to setup, something to fire or something to cool! Still too hot, but I want in. I dreamed last night of the pots in this kiln and I hope this new glaze combo turns out as well as it did in my dreams 🌙 #racheldecondeceramics #waiting #patience #toohot #kiln #pottery #studiopottery #studiolife #canadianceramics #novascotia #newwork
Yesterday I played hooky and went sailing alongside the Tall Ships leaving Halifax! #tallshipshalifax #tallships2017 #tallshipfestival #halifax #halifaxharbour #sailing #novascotia #racheldecondeceramics #playinghooky #bestday
Now, that's a sunset! Why can't I get that in a glaze colour?! #halifax #sunset #novascotia #saturdaynight #racheldecondeceramics #glaze #wish #wow #stunningsky
More glaze colours! I'm always really overwhelmed when I get tests out and I sit with them for days, thinking about colour, texture, melt, contrasts, usability, functionality and what other colours to further test. It's all very exciting and overwhelming!
I'm so pleased to be working with the wonderful new gallery, Osprey Gallery, in Mahone Bay. If you are looking for fresh new work, pop in and take a look at all the various artists they are representing. @galleryosprey #mahonebay #supportlocal #handmade #gallery #racheldecondeceramics #novascotia #art #artwork #craftsmanship #madeincanada #canada
For the last few weeks i've been doing lots of new glaze tests. Forty-five in the first batch actually. These are 4 that have really caught my eye. What so you think? #racheldecondeceramics #glaze #glazetests #conesix #porcelain #ceramics #canadianceramics #research #new #colourful
