Help me Buy a House.



So I have found it, the house of my dreams. I just need to raise a little more cash for the down payment. The only plus to the awful economy - even an artist might be able to afford a house.

Help make my dreams come true. I will have you over for tea and cake any time you like.

Buy a dish - get my dog a yard!!!! naomiclearyceramics.etsy.com

and ok, it is not the house in the picture. but isn't it cute.

Flickr - Finally


After much dilly dallying I finally joined flickr

I am a member of two fantastic groups. One called The Work-in-Progress Society, the other called Modish Handmade Spaces.

I have not really posted on either yet because I am in the middle of a giant studio expansion and clean up. Stay tuned though and for now check out some other fantastic studios and work.

But for the future my account is naomi cleary ceramics

New Studio Happenings

































The latest studio adventure images.
I am working on a line of wall pieces. Some with decorative framed edges, others will be simple square and rectangle forms. All will be covered in pattern.

I also have a new lidded jar. It is a very sweet little form I have been wanting to make for a while now. It headed north to the Clay Arts Center in NY.

Thermo-Magic

So I just purchased this little baby.
My very own thermofax, bring on the screens!

I am so excited to own one of these amazing tools. While at OSU for grad school my good friend Rain Harris let me use hers and I have been dying to get one ever since.

It is a super fast way of making a silk screen that is flexible so you can print on curved surfaces (cups etc) as well as tiles and paper and textile.








I also just purchased a laser printer for making iron oxide decals.

I will be making custom screens and decals for a smallish fee very soon.

I will list the service on etsy or you can contact me directly through my web site

The Tshirts and dish cloths available in The Soup Shop are all printed with screens made by the thermofax

Non Fiction Design Collective

This month Ohio based collective Non Fiction presented a stunning show of new work at The Clay Studio in Old City.



The group recently visited the porcelain factories of Meissen in Dresden, Germany where they used historical molds and Meissen's super white china to create new and strange versions of historical figurines. Once back in the States they combined other processes such as CNC milling and screen printing to make domestic objects that are hard to place in time. Collective members Steven Thurston, Guy Mike Davis, Clay Studio Visitor Ed, member Katie Parker chat it up in the gallery.
The fourth member of the group, Rebecca Harvey was holding down the fort back on Ohio.
Ohio made brick and letter press stampings combined with kitschy china trees and a flickering light culminate in Forest Light Nonfiction states "We are interested in merging the worlds of ceramics & printmaking and the remaking and reuse of industrial cast-offs. Operating in a hybrid world between handwork and mechanization we combine outdated processes like thermofax and letterpress with CNC milling and rapid prototyping. Labor intensive processes mix with strange detritus, abandoned wallpaper and clearance mousetraps combine with hand carved block prints and fussy porcelain. Our limited production is a mixture of intent and accident - a constant tug between addition and subtraction. We make objects to affect the world. "

Finally the one I had to have as my own White Rabbit. Image Courtesy of TCS
