The Potters Cast Interviews Mitchell Spain Ceramics

/

As promised, here is the release of my interview with Paul Blais of The Potters Cast!

Allow me to introduce myself and share a bit about my background and my work. After, let's chat--I want to know what you think.

The Mitchell Spain Collection at Portland Growler Company

Craft brew, anyone?

The special edition growlers born from my partnership with Portland Growler Company are finally here. Slip cast in Oregon and specially crafted (see what I did there?) in small batches out of my Iowa studio, these designs are flying off the shelves.

Take a peek on their website. Take one home--you know you want to!

New "shorty" mugs are coming out better than expected. The weight and balance with this handle is exquisite. Also, small planters are turning out great! I'll be announcing the release of both soon. They will be "choose your own" for the release. I might start moving towards that model more and more for online sales as it is much better for inventory. Let me know what you think of these new forms! . . . #clay #porcelain #trompeloeil #flasks #pottery #functionalceramics #keramik #art #artist #ceramics #instagood #slipcasting #slipcast #ceramicdecals #functional #giftsforhim #giftsforher #justdoit #smallbusiness

@johnrhamilton3ceramics took my workshop at @studioartsboulder in February and asked if it'd like to collaborate with him. Received the first pieces last week and I'm soo excited to get started on them. These forms are great and it will be fun combining my aesthetic with them. Go check out his work while I get to work on these!
Experimenting with new ways to use the forms I already have. I'm getting excited about these shorty mugs! . . . #clay #porcelain #trompeloeil #flasks #pottery #functionalceramics #keramik #art #artist #ceramics #instagood #slipcasting #slipcast #cera

New silicone mold for the new funnels. Now to fill with plaster, then dry, then they'll be ready to cast. Can't wait to have some of these finished.

Working on a new form. This will be multi-purpose: Margarita cup, large cup, and new larger light fixture. Getting funky with the bottom and really like where it's going. A few more refinements then it's ready to mold! . . . #clay #porcelain #trompe
