Wow! That is trippy stuff. I took a beginner wheel class this summer and made one basic thing (a plant pot) but the idea of keeping on with making pottery was extremely tempting! But I think I would be boring and conventional and make, like dishes...your work is much more interesting.

well i hardly STARTED there, you can scroll up to the top of the thread and see my boring and conventional work up there! it takes everyone time to progress from basic forms and decoration into their own voice. I strongly recommend you keep with it; it's been a real life saver for me.

Pottery Throwdown. AJ's orange sponge walkman earphones, are they functional or decoration? looks like the leads come down and join in the middle with something ornamental there.

hahaha i have been asking myself that same question. they could be some sort of retro-enabled bluetooth thing but the fact that they are totally clean and have no clay on them leads me to think they are an affectation.
They are really fun potters by the way!

the ornamental thing looks like a tiny silver hammer. i've seen iron mongers wear something similar, like a thor's hammer (below), but this is a more modern shape.

Might be headphones to block out noise/distraction? I love AJ - in the beginning they were my favourite person but not my favourite potter, but the last couple of shows they have done amazing work.

to further my point: if you wear headphones when you throw, you are going to get clay on them. those little foam earpieces are a magnet.

Right, well that's a new collaboration with a friend: he on sculpting and me on surface. Will revisit when it's out of the bisque kiln and ready for glazing.

And another, this one also sculpted by the same friend but out of bisque and freshly underglazed to emphasize carved textures. Next step is glazing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABX-hW8Oz_g
