Friday shop views
Orb casting back in action at the new shop.
@scolasanti and I traveled down to the Bay Area yesterday for an event at the Blomberg showroom. We decided to make a day of it, find some inspiration, and meet some fellow makers. We geeked out on design and various fabrication methods with Automatic Arts, Manual Labor, and Pathfab. We saw art by friends Laurel Roth Hope and Andy Diaz Hope. And finally, we were able to see the installation of Blomberg’s new sliding door system (aka SLD Slim Line Door), which we’ve been developing for 2+ years. What a day! #digitalfabrication #digitalcraft #lasercut #cnc #5axis #3dprinting #cncknifecutter #blombergwindows #slimlinedoor
Nearly done setting up the new shop! Bright new LED high bay lights went up yesterday and now awaiting the electrician to hook up the kilns and a few other things. I’m ready to focus on making again.
I finally had a chance to install these bedside Orb Sconces! Stoneware, in satin charcoal glaze, with satin nickel details and an integrated rotary dimmer. Also, swipe to the last image to see the custom bracket that pulls the sconce tight to the wall.
After 4 years, my run at the Bag Building has come to an end. I’m moving into an open shop space at @blombergwindows, where I’m already spending much of my time. Moving a shop is a ton of work, but also a good chance to edit, refocus, and plan for future work.
I recently put together a presentation for a potential commission and wanted to share some selected images of projects from the past dozen years. I really love this type of work, as each site and project brings a new set of challenges, new materials to explore, vendor relations to establish, and processes to learn. The materials span the spectrum, from steam bent maple to stretched tyvek to custom blown glass. (Set 2 of 2)

😩😢 Even when handling greenware with delicate hands, on occasion you’ll hear this faint little ping and know that something cracked, but it hasn’t revealed itself yet... until it does. 💥 I knew these cast thinner than I wanted, as the broken cross section illustrates.
