The Artist called Aliveguy-Bill Schwenzer I’m participating in @marchmeetthemaker series this year again and wanted to share a little festival view from my Art Show last weekend. I have been doing art festivals for about 25 years now and like to display a wide variety of designs and color schemes. I’m a big fan of surface textures and various techniques to make them pop. I have a favorite term “Flipperoonie” that I have used for many years to describe an ergonomic rotation of your pottery pieces

It’s official, Spooky Season has begun in the Aliveguy Studio. I’m creating a series of pieces that will be in a September-October exhibition. I need four pieces to submit, so you know that means I will probably make 8 to choose from. Here’s my first design taking decoration in part 1. I figured I would keep the speed of execution tolerable and do a multi-part series to show the process. I’m using @speedball_ceramics black underglaze for my slab background color. Underglaze transfer by @sanbaost

Still one of my favorite hacks for a moisture dew meter. Checking to see if moisture is OUT before ramping my Kiln temperature up. This can reduce risks for your potter. | Bill Schwenzer

Highlights from 2024 included using doilies as texture and making deeper forms using the wallie forms from @gr.pottery.forms My favorite glaze combination was @amacobrent Deep Sea Celadon with PC Seaweed layered over. I also made some variations of feet 👣 to lift them up. #doilies #texture #potteryprocess #functionalpottery #functionalceramics #artreels #peopleofpottery #artvideo | Bill Schwenzer

A strong in person packaging process for small items is important to me. When I’m at a busy market, it’s nice to rely on it. Using @theboxery 50# Recycled Kraft paper is my solution for protecting my wares. It is very strong and durable and priced well. Here’s a first hand look at my process demonstrated at home. A closer look at the material quality shown makes it my first choice for this important process. It checks ✅ all the boxes #potteryprocess #functionalpottery #packagingsolutions #kraftp

Glazing using wash back technique. I applied Obsidian Black Glaze and I’m removing enough to create intentional outlines and texture embellishments. I will apply a Jade Green glaze over this for the finishing. Results soon. #potteryprocess #functionalpottery #functionalceramics #artvideos #studiopottery | Bill Schwenzer

Final Step for making my signature Bud vases. Adding a topper to the extruded, textured and footed body. This design is a Koi theme and I have completed 86 unique designs in this batch. Firing a bisque tomorrow so I can tackle the glazing. #potteryprocess #functionalpottery #artvideos #functionalceramics #artreels #peopleofpottery #satisfyingvideos #aliveguypottery #budvases #flowervase | Bill Schwenzer

One of my most often questions received is - How do you keep your platters from warping? Here’s one solution that can help. The Main principle at hand is getting Even moisture removal from your piece on all sides as it slowly dries. Using 5/8” Sheetrock wareboards Paper towel between a small form or spacer blocks. A towel is used to help redistribute the moisture underneath it. Weights keep the platter down on the wareboard. I change out the wareboards, paper towel and sheet daily for three days
