"I worked in a pottery shop for maybe 10 years, but never learned to throw or sculpt. I mixed high fire throwing clay and slip and the pieces I did were from molds."
Given this information, sir I challenge you to push your envelope of production. First off, I am a novice when it comes to variety and experience in clay, and it is wonderful to hear that low fire is also functional for smoking. I really enjoy your glazing process as well, thank you for the picture. I will happily provide a finished picture should the piece make it all the way.
Now here is the challenge: as you have full-time access to a ceramics studio and mold casting, investigate natural bubblers to get around using the low-quality glass-slide downstems, and maybe look into ceramic-on-ceramic bowl placements ( if using pure porcelain slips). I can send you photos if you wish. If you could design a mold for an all-inclusive ceramic piece with a detachable bowl. I believe this would make your products completely unique, and most important from my stance as a potter, repeatable. That said, I love the shapes you have for the strait water pipes. Thanks for replying
Thanks for the compliment SnakeRiverPW. We now go under the name grasshopperpipes.com for our pipe work. You can check out some of our stuff there, or on facebook. We don't really sell much off our website at the moment, so there are only a few pieces on there, but you will get the point.
Those are some really impressive pieces on your site. The one that sticks out to me that I connect most with is:For me making waterpipes from body of Mother Earth (clay) is spiritual practice. And smoking from them is even more.
