A Potters Year 2024 THE JOURNAL (438
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- A year of pottery making documented, inspiration, motivation and technical notes; the synergy of the journal and vlog feed the hand and dreams creating the work. I feel less taken this year from pots of the past and more growth on what is becoming my own. Your likes and comments help drive what is seen in the kiln openings, thank you.

Happy prosperous New Years to you and your mom.😊
To you and your family too. Think of you often and always this time of year.
Congratulations on an amazing year! I love your work! Your notebook is incredible. I live out west and would love to buy one of your pieces. A mug perhaps! I look forward to your work in 2025! Cheers
Some might say 'waste of time drawing them all out' I couldn't do half of what I do without this. When you spot one and you're ready, I do an old fashion check in the mail and use USPS flat rate box. Facebook messenger or email. Glad you're enjoying, it motivates me. Happy 2025.
Hi Jeffrey
So nice to have a look in your journals. Kinda diary. Pritty sure you get 2025 full.
The pages with your and other dogs are so sweet. You draw nice. Did or do you paint too?
Further, your halloween pots. That video put me on to make a big one myself, with lid. I carved a real pumpkin first and that one i copied in clay.
And, ohhh those reindeers, sorry, flying reindeers WITH the bells, i really want 1 of your flying reindeer mugs for next Christmas.
Happy new year Jeff
Cheers

Watercolors back in the 80's, some prints too. Thanks, on the - I'll fill it up again. The bee makes your hive luminary special, well done. A very happy new year.
@pottersjournal i thought so, you draw good.
Thanks for visiting my small hobby corner 😉 appreciated!
See yah, on your next whats going on in the studio today 👋
Thanks to you I had a second year of journal keeping. I ended up with 67 kiln loads, 47 which were glaze loads with at least 26 pieces in each. I had 10 weeks of no activity due to a broken collar bone. I was proud of the year and hope for more shows and pieces next year. Happy 2025 to you, and thanks again for inspiring me.
WOW. A very productive year for you and with losing so much time. You must have used the time plotting a return in your journal. Nice knowing someone who understands how it can drive your work. Best in 2025.
Wow, Jeff, what a year! Thanks for taking us along for a look back through your potter’s year. Best wishes for 2025 🎉
Thanks for being here and helping push me along. Have a great 2025.
I’ve adopted your method of record-keeping for my own pottery journal of 2025-now I look forward to drawing all the little pots in my notebook as much as I enjoy making them!! Thanks for your videos and all the inspiration!
Hey, Heidi. Nice to hear from you a fiber artist and ceramist. Surprised too as I'm somewhat random and haphazard and your Knitters Journal on Etsy is so thought-out and structured. On seeing this video my mother noted she has a little black book with all her loom warpings over the years. More thoughtful than mine a link here to a channel with a number of videos on this so vital and personal an item. www.youtube.com/@Julie.Miette
Hey Jeffrey!! Wow those journals are awesome!! I wish sooo badly that I had done this. I may have to start this is such a cool idea! May I ask when you do these or how? Do you do it at a certain time every day or week? I handbuild and slipcast so not sure how to keep track exactly. I tried to take pictures of everything I made at one point but my phone got so full that I couldn’t even use the phone because it got so bogged down! Wow what a year!! That’s amazing! Do you count the pots that you make but don’t make it? lol. Odd questions I know but I’d really like to know how you do all of that!❤❤❤
Oh, Michele, thanks so much as this is so much what makes my work happen. I use it when I can't make pots, when I need to make many fast, when lost needing a new way, when ideas are developing faster than I can work. RUclipss 'Hobby Potter' uses a ring binder all very structured, I could not do structured. What do you need and want from it, what is your style. I didn't show glaze notes, firings, sales records or a few correspondence drafts. It's the first time I taped stuff in, scrapbooking. Past years there has been more research for ideas development; by sketching instead of collecting images I've started the process of changing to make it my own. This year, now, amazingly I'm mostly advancing my own work. Drawing out all 25 mugs I hope to produce must look CRAZY but their staring boldly back at me says we need to be made fast, or we've been here so long don't forget us. Notes of what clay, weight, dimensions of maybe a lid are great if something needs remade, a starting point for next time, a starting point for something new. A couple times losing a board of pots I only counted the remakes, but my favorite question, LOL, I count them after turning, it's the only time they are all together to count. It's been great thinking this out, first time I held them all together, realizing how I've used and needed them has changed. Don't wish you had done this. Do it. Let me know how it works, hope it makes you a great 2025.
@ What an excellent response!! I need to ask myself these questions for sure. That’s a lot to think about but really great! Thanks so much. I try a lot of different glaze combinations and layer glazes on 95% of my pots so in order to keep track of those I use an index card for each piece and number them so I can keep track of what combos I like. I take a picture of the pot with the card before and after but I just keep them in a file in my phone which is really taking up a lot of space. Also when I have a glaze kiln load not all of my pots fit so I have to rifle through the cards to see which ones have been fired and then I put the card with the pot and take pictures and then the cards are all mixed up!! I start the numbers over at 50 so I don’t end up going too high with the numbers and can group them back more easily by date. Anyway… I will look at the other potters channel you mentioned. I so appreciate it. Thanks again.
Happy New Years Potter!!!
Hey, Glass Artist, Happy New Years to You too.
