Pottery by Osa

New blog post: I started sharing images & info from out-of-print book #NigerianPottery which contains photos of pots I haven't seen anywhere online, particularly with this level of regional detail.

I’m hoping access to such visual archives might inform contemporary practice – both for those reconnecting with heritage and anyone invested in global ceramic histories. Will be adding to this gradually as I work through the material.

Pottery by OsaRare Images from ‘Nigerian Pottery’I received the book Nigerian Pottery as a gift from Warren Fredrick and Catherine White, Virginia potters whose home studio I visited in 2016. We’d stayed in touch via social media, and one day, Warren messaged me offering a copy of the book—he had two and thought I might benefit from having one in my library. The book

Pottery by Osa

It takes me at least a couple of hours to decorate a pot this size. I brush three layers of terra sigillata into each section, alternating the different types of clay in a rhythmic symmetry. Then I’ll bisque fire the pot, apply glaze and fire one last time. I haven’t made as much progress this week as I would have liked so I may end up working a bit this weekend, which is something I try to avoid. Have a good weekend, everyone.

I’m ending the week on one of my favorite parts of the process—selecting coordinating hues of glaze and terra sigillata to paint my pots. I started working this way about a year ago. After collecting clay samples for many years, I finally began using them to decorate my pottery. It has added so much to my work in terms of cultural expression and connection to the Earth.

A square photo of a clay sample next to a fired test tile. The clay is a dark orange-tan color and the tile is dark orange-brown with a soft sheen. Both objects lay on a gray concrete floor. The clay was collected from the land around Arrowmont School of Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, in the Smoky Mountains. It’s a place I’ve been able to travel to three times so far and holds positive memories for me. I’ve attended workshops there and also taught there myself.
The image features a collection of colorful ceramic test tiles with decorative patterns, placed in front of jars labeled with different place names that correspond with where the clay inside was collected. A bone dry, unfired decorative pitcher is on the right, and various pottery pieces are visible in the background. The objects sit on a work table within the context of an apparently active pottery studio. Various pieces of pottery and kilns can be seen in the background.

I'm still working on today's teapot #15, but earlier today ((( THIS ))) came out of the kiln!!!

A collector came to claim it before i even had a chance to get a good photo, but I did get a chance to make this sloppy stop motion, while their 3 year old was crawling all over me! Parents are such amazing people!!!
