I am tackling episode 6 of the great pottery throwdown! In this pottery challenge, we were instructed to make a bulbous ceramic table lamp. While I went a little off-script and chose to use sgraffito technique instead of underglazes, I am so happy with how my lamp turned out! Enjoy!

Beautiful work 🤗 can you share how you secured the cord and socket to the base? And where to buy the socket and cord you used 👀

@PotterytothePeople Жыл бұрын

Great question! It ended up fitting really well so it didn't need any extra securing-- just sits in with gravity. But if it was loose I was planning to use some glue, either 2-component or hot glue even would work. As long as the light bulb is energy efficient (not producing a lot of heat) like an LED it should be fine to use glue.

Beautiful lamp base but I feel the shade is to low and is hiding the top of your beautiful lamp base, if you look at table lamps the bottom of the shade is level with the bottom of the lampholder and the lamp base is fully visible.

Okay, there's a lot going on here and I love nearly all of it - the beautiful swirling waves, the cloaked figures swimming, the people with cute little wings flying above those beautiful poofy clouds, the skeleton dogs... but I think my absolute favourite is the upside-down stick figures. There's just something about them that's so charming, floating there in their ring of people alongside the right-side-up stick figures who are also very cute but less whimsically delightful.

I love the middle “Throwdown” challenge for the last episode this season which was the giant scrafitto ball, so great to see this combination between that and the lamp challenge (you’re right about that shade, the pervious season had a much better version with a sculpture that had to hold a large bare bulb). They’re mostly very technical skill based but sometimes those little mid episode challenges have some really fun ideas in them.
