Winged Mug
By tser
This piece was something of an experiment with a different glaze technique. Each side is painted using an underglaze with a detailed wing, opening around the mug. I glazed over the drawing with a tenmoku glaze -- though I had done test tiles, I honestly wasn't sure how much of the detail would be preserved, considering the shading and so on I had done on the wings. I ended up liking the effect a lot, sort of a antique, acid-stained feel to it.
I had mythology in mind when I painted it, particularly Judeo-Christian angel hierarchies (okay, okay, I'm a huge Supernatural fan, I admit it).
Cone 6 oxidation.

Apparently of all the pictures of the studio that I've taken, I managed to miss our extruders in all the shots. Oops! We have wall-mounted extruders, one much larger than the other. I have a big one at home, but have never used it because it needs to be treated and mounted.
The first two extruders on this page are similar in style to the type I've used though I've used a few different brands: [link]
Extruders can be used to make ALL SORTS OF NEAT STUFF, not just handles. They can be used to make long, even coils for coil building, entire walls for hand-building (such as casserole walls with the galleries built in), interesting hollow shapes for vases and other vessels, fascinating tubes and coils and ropes of all sorts to be used in creative ways, etc. Here's one example creating a "woven" basket effect: [link]
The handles on almost all my mugs are extruded, as well as the tail on my gryphon teapot (so that it would be nice and smooth and even, unlike my hand formed coils which tend to be kind of lumpy, heh): [link]
I've also used extrusions to decorate the top of planters and bowls and so on, though apparently I don't have photos of those uploaded.
