This inspirational art quote does not exist.
These quotes were genearated by a huge language model from OpenAI called GPT-3. After prompting the model with real quotes by famous artists like “Art is a line around your thoughts” (Gustav Klimt) and “To be an artist is to believe in life” (Henry Moore), GPT-3 responded with a wide range of its own quotes. A small… Continue reading This inspirational art quote does not exist.
Red Lodge Glazes
The amazing @redlodgeclaycenter has generously allowed me to share their studio glazes on Glazy. https://glazy.org/u/rlcc/recipes Studio glazes often reflect the history of a studio. They are brought in by a succession of studio technicians from their schools or places of previous employment, and the recipes go through a process of “natural selection”. Those that are unreliable are gradually… Continue reading Red Lodge Glazes

More Tests
More tests for #theglazyproject It’s a gamble! The Glazy Project is an effort to document hundreds of old recipes in Glazy that have no record of being tested. The old recipes in Glazy were, at some point in time, used by a potter and carefully recorded to share with others. We should give these recipes the benefit of the… Continue reading More Tests

New Look: WordPress Gutenberg & Twenty Nineteen Theme
June 2019 Update: No longer using the Twenty Nineteen theme, it’s just too basic. I’ve recently updated the design of this website using a new theme for WordPress, Twenty Nineteen. This is WordPress’s default theme for this year, and it is specifically designed for WordPress 5.0 and Gutenberg, the new WordPress editor.
Glazy
https://glazy.org Much like the open-source movement, our ceramics culture is largely one of sharing and collaboration. Via mailing lists, discussion groups, and personal websites, potters freely share their knowledge. Being largely self-taught, these resources have been extremely important to me. In particular, ceramics recipes are handed down from one generation of ceramicists to another, much… Continue reading Glazy
72 Hands
