10 am Sunday on Etsy – watch out!
Posted by sequoiamiller under event, new work, sticky[6] Comments
Hi everyone,
I am just back from my studio where I unloaded a kiln full of pots, yay! I planned to get these on to Etsy tonight, but it’s just a little too late (did I mention I have a 4 year old? and I am moving in a few days?).
My plan now: 10 am Sunday morning all these pots will be for sale on Etsy. I’ll keep the store open until the end of Monday and then it’s over! I apologize for dragging this out a little; my hope was to have the pots up earlier today, but alas.
I’ll have around 40 new pieces in this last group, including many cups and mugs, altered bowls and small jars as well as some larger jars and even a teapot or two. Here are a few preview images below.
Set your alarms for 9:59 Sunday morning! The magic word is: Bashevis.
I just love this cup; in fact I may keep it. It is the fab black/brown clay with black/brown glaze. The dots are bare clay. I love how they are tonally so similar but totally different materials and textures. Pottery!!!
Here’s a little altered bowl, scraped on the outside and with lots of little dots on the inside. it strikes me as a happy bowl!
This one is, well, perhaps a little more vampy than happy. Not a bad place to be.
This is another one that I might keep. Dan Schmitt, an estimable potter and friend in Eugene, Oregon got the first one I made about a month ago. This one is equally lovely and gives me the thought, “gosh, I made that?”
A round cream and sugar set, how’s that for a novelty? Dots and the lovely creamy glaze.
An altered jar. This was one of the last ones that I photographed, and can you tell it was getting dark? Ntural light is so much better and I was trying not to use the flash. So it’s a little more vibrant in person.
Gasp, a hut jar. There are a handful of them in this batch. A couple of little ones and I think one or two big ones. Big being relative, of course: 9 inches. This one is about 5 or 6.
I like this one too, creamy lines and dots. Lake Placid.
Here is a teapot. Can you tell I am loving the white glaze on black clay still??
That’s it for the preview. Check Etsy Sunday morning!

Hello readers!
I have just uploaded a handful of pots to Etsy.
Here’s the schedule as it looks now:
This is a kiln load of pots that is cooling now – opened the lid just for a second to take the pic!
I’ll put some of these pots on Etsy on Saturday afternoon/evening. That will be the last batch, and as you can see it includes more jars and black-clay pots. After these go up, the store will close on Sunday night or Monday. All remaining work (along with a few new ones) will go to galleries (I can be specific soon).
Let me know if you have any questions and enjoy the new pots!

I am now officially done making pots – here you can see my loaded shelves. Glazing days spread before me for the rest of the week. My plan is to put my last round of pots on etsy this friday, then close the shop on sunday. All the remaining work (including most of these pictured here that will not make it on etsy) will be available through a group of galleries this summer and fall. Stay tuned!

Hello readers!
It took an extra day to get my new pots of the week on line, but they are now live on Etsy. Check them out here:
www.etsy.com/shop/SequoiaMillerSQNYC12
I only have a handful this week, but a few new things, including:
The first (and only) two bottles I have made during this interlude. I have this one above and a black one, both in the black clay that I am loving so much.
I have also made my first jem jars out of the black clay. I have this pair and two singles. I really love how the surface is satiny and varied, but reads as just white and picks up the dark clay where it gets thin on the edges. This clay is also satisfyingly hard, like it is really vitrified at this temperature (cone 5).
Finally, I had to make one more of these. I think I have a sense now of how I like this blue on these pots, so i am a little more comfortable using this glaze. I have applied it to a number of pots this time around, but this is the only one to come out of the kiln yet.
I am getting close to the end here… I anticipate either two smallish batches like this one or one larger one. I plan to post my last group by next weekend and then close up shop by about the 21st or 22nd.
Enjoy!
