I've just published 20 basic oxidation cone 6 basa I've just published 20 basic oxidation cone 6 basalt glazes which you can use as a guide for more interesting variations.  (Link to recipes in bio.) For some inspiration, see Matt Fiske's (@bluepotter) beautiful work with basalt on his website, https://ceramicaction.org #basalt #craft #glaze #glazes #glazerecipes #glazetest #ceramics #pottery #ceramicglazes #glazechemistry #glazechem #glazecalc #umf #glazy
Re-create a recipe, even if you don't understand t Re-create a recipe, even if you don't understand the language or have the same materials. In this video, I demonstrate how to re-create a recipe that's in Russian, a language that I don't understand.  Using Glazy "Target & Solve", I can easily substitute the recipe ingredients with theoretical materials, and then substitute with real-world materials from my studio. Sound on for explanation.

This inspirational art quote does not exist. Prom This inspirational art quote does not exist. Prompted with a list of real quotes by famous artists, OpenAI's GPT-3 was asked to generate a list of fictional quotes by fictional artists.  A small percentage of responses were plagiarisms, while others were nonsensical or trite cliches. Presented here are curated examples paired with StyleGAN generated art from thisartworkdoesnotexist.com. Some of these quotes are partial plagiarisms or based on patterns found in real quotes.  For example "Art is the objectification of feeling" is attributed to Herman Melville, while "Art is the objectification of feeling, and the subjectification of nature" is attributed to Susanne Langer.  GPT-3 came up with its own version:  "Art is the objectification of imagination seen through the eyes of empathy." #generatedart #openai #gpt3 #machinelearning #generative #generatedceramics #craft #ceramics #pottery #art #glaze #glazes #glazerecipes #glazy
