This should be interesting. 2 batches of glaze should be same colour but one colourants was left out in error. These peaks will. Ow be two toned (each a different version of same glaze). Where peaks overlap, is a mystery until kiln is unloaded. #glazing #pottery #corisandlerpottery

Just sitting around with friends and all these various mugs are on the table. Thought I’d just take a snap #corisandlerpottery Making mugs is a real treat for me. I love the mug. I love what it represents I love the experiences we have with our favourite mug and I love the process of choosing a mug for your specific moment in your day. What goes into a choice? Is it colour, feel, weight, size, memory of past moments with that mug and perhaps a friend you last shared a cafe/tea moment with. Donyou love to touch it and caress it. Do younlikenyourbhandbtobslide over a slick shiny surface or do you like your hand to stumble and rub up against texture and relief. Is it the handle that draws you in. So much here. #mug #coffelife #teacup #myfavouritemug

#Handbuilding hear little sweet pots. I use these for toothpicks and little flowers. Hey ha e big attitude for such a little pot. What would you use them for? #corisandlerpottery #pottery

Just looking around my studio at the high shelves where I’ve placed some pots from different eras. This was a perfume bottle turned into a ewer. The spout wasn’t balanced well in terms of the whole shape. so it stayed here. There was still enough about the piece that I liked not to trash it. Having old pots around me reminds me of where I have been. And where I am. Working with clay is a journey. Sometimes I have something to say and sometimes the clay has something to say. Respect. Respect respect to all my fellow potters who make the choice everyday to work with this fascinating basic material and make our world more beautiful or more interesting. Whether you beautify surroundings or question what exists through and by your craft, I admire each one of you and am grateful to be counted in your company. #humbled #potterycommunity #corisandlerpottery

Okay, that #sourdough baguette got Barbqued with olive oil and a garlic rub. Then topped with a combo of homemade pesto, cream cheese, ricotta cheese and sour cream. Then topped with homemade grav lox (cured salmon) dollopped with some more of the cheese mixture and crowned with tiny julienne green beans marinated overnight in a salt sugar vinegar brine. OMG. They gobbled it all up at the party. More to come

Away from the studio today (see my stories) but know they’ll be some glazing like this to do when I return. Being on the ocean I can imagine all the life that lies beneath. I saw 2 whales while in the ferry ⛴ over here yesterday. What about the ocean inspires you? What colours do you think of when you think ocean. They’ll be some turquoise mugs but there will also be some glaze surprises #myfavouritemug

HELP PLEASE. Another version of the butterdish. I could really use some help. Yesterday I posted me underglazing a butterdish in my #carnival #circus series. This one is totally different in my #Salishsea series. I’d be so grateful if you felt the ability to chime in on some thoughts. Carnival vs Salish sea. Not that I only have to ha e one voice but kind of want a bit of a litmus test. Thanks in advance.

I see a Cinderella coach series butter dish in the back there too. It feels like its been ages since I have made these #dr.zues or #aliceinwonderlnd like #butter dishes. And for all my followers that like to “drink” the lid can double as an infinity #wine chalice. Just can’t put it down until you’ve finished drinking it all. #pottery #underglaze #sliptrailing

Fig and walnut #sourdough soooo good. Now to finish pulling handles on mugs and clearing studio for first Cori’s Clay Class of the fall term. Starting today. #potterylessons #corisandlerpottery #breadmaking

by CS | Sep 11, 2017 | IG photos

Part of my Salish Sea series. Time to be making another batch of these. I throw and alter the mug while still moist, add some stamp work and manipulate the claybwithybfingers on both the inside and outside of the mug. The handle is pulled directly off the mug at leatherhard. For me, this always seems to be the most organic looking and feeling handles on my work. Slipbtrailing happens at leather hard stage as well. I like makingugs that are tall and narrow at the mouth, round and vuluptous like the Cinderella coach mugs and square and wide similar to this one. What’s your favourite shape? Why? Chime in if you wish

Mugs are really the most personal piece of pottery I make. I love that they are caressed and kissed and each of us has a few that we are wildly possessive of. This one is now available in my web shop. See link in bio. Do you prefer a one, two, or 3 finger sized handle? Just curious. Thx

@diamondcoretools make these amazing sanding blocks. These are 120 and 240 grit. Insanely useful in any pottery studio. Talk about soft as a baby’s bottom. Did I just say that? 😋. They fit perfectly in my hand I love the corners that can really get into a nook and cranny when needed like just under the handle attachment of a mug fresh out of a wood fire. #diamondcoretools #sandingblock #smoothbottoms #potterystudio #studiolife #potterytools #bestpotterytools #favouritetools favouritepotterytools

by CS | Jul 29, 2017 | IG photos

First sourdough bread ever. This isbthe #benchrest before the final shaping. Each stage has been a slow process. I let the dough rise slowly overnight in the fridge, slowing down the fermentation process and increasing the flavours of the sour. (that’s the thought). I cant begin to tell you how excited I am about finally starting down this … meditation so to speak about #sourdoughbaking #bread. @delaterrebakery OMG. Respect to you m’dear!

Back to unloading. Okay, so… I am a pretty short woman, and when the bottom of the kiln has short pieces in it… Well, all I can say, is it would sure help to have someone holding my feet down so I don’t fall into the kiln. #littledish

by CS | Jun 9, 2017 | IG photos

Im in a #littledish mood. This series has a single thumb rest or what ever you’d like to rest there. These were thrown off the hump and have a really elegant profile toward the foot (i’d like to think). My friend in Kyoto saysbthese would be awesome for creme brule. (Ive got to get our more often!!!) what about a little amuse bouche or appetizer. Also a delicious succulent dessert or home made sherbet. The list is endless. (Well maybe that takes it a bit far, but… what would you use it for?

Okay. Feel free to chime in. I’ve been calling this new series Summer Waterfall – but now I’m looking at them again and thinking Summer Sherbert may be perfect. What do you think? #pottery. #mug #shopupdate Monday May 29 – 10 am CoriSandler.com

by CS | May 28, 2017 | IG photos

This is another in my SUMMER WATERFALL SERIES. Shop update Monday may 29 10am pst. Corisandler.com Lots of flow, soft pastel colours ali g with some oceans blues. By the way, that circle on the bottom of the mug toubsee is a chop made for me by friends who live in Japan. It says Cori. And this particular Congi means something to the effect of a shining light passing or shooting through (please forgive me if this is badly misinterpreted) #shopupdate

Throwing sweet little dishes. Could be for pickled ginger or wasabi and soy sauce or a delectable elegant desert with a talk stalk of Carmelites sugar or chocolate. Mmmm. I love fresh thrown pots. What do you think would be a good use of these ??? Any ideas? #wheelthrown #pottery #handmadedishes

by CS | May 24, 2017 | IG photos

I absolutely love it when people who have bought my work send me back images of it in use. I just received this image along with the loveliest note. This is one of my Cinderella coach mugs. #potsinaction it has about 7 glazes on it, breaking and falling into the crevices, pooling and doing all the things you hope a glaze will do. I’ll be making another batch of Cinderella coach mugs pretty soon. Various colours coming. What colours would you imagine on them. ???

by CS | May 23, 2017 | IG photos

Another little handmade #pottery wine sipper. Pretty feathers inside the rim where the glazes overlapped and snow like blue crystals on the outside breaking slightly olive. This really feels lovely to the touch. Again this was a shift from my slow cooling and firing to a fast fire and 15 minute hold then off. Wow. Love the results. Your thoughts please? A slow fire just gives me the lighter #blue all fused together to create very matte #surface, this one gives me lots of variation in the #glaze

I’m tired ! That’s all

by CS | May 22, 2017 | IG photos

Just loaded last one from the #anagama #woodfiredpottery to my webshop. I was holding ontobit for a bit but… I’m ready to send it off to a good home now. I love how both sides of a woodfired pot are quite distinct from each other. This was fired over 80+ hours using about 6.5 cords of wood. Mostly fur. This is a 10oz mugs for all of you who have been asking for smaller mugs too. I can hardly describe how comfortable this handle is to hold. It’s really nice. It’s #12 on my site. Corisandler.com

by CS | May 22, 2017 | IG photos

Playing with fast and slow cooling – this #mug was a very quick firing and the crystals are huge. Usually this blue glaze is fired very slowly (control cool) and it comes out 1. More matte which is expected, though this is still pretty matte, but what was unexpected is that the light speckles or crystals are usually so fused that there is no darker blue like you see here. I am loving this!!!!!

First round of mugs in the making for commission. Hours refining logo on computer in preparation for stamp company.
