Sinks, Glazed
I finally finished up my first set of sinks, and I'm very happy with how they look. My wife and I even decided to put one in our 1/2 bath as part of our impending bathroom remodel. We'll be using the swirl pattern below, but with a celadon green glaze. It should look very nice against the dark wood countertop we'll be using.
Both of these are fired to cone 8 in oxidation. The blue sink is a self-rimming type, the other is a vessel sink. Both are 15.5" in diameter. It took a few tests, but I finally settled on using 16 pounds of clay to make one of these. They are thicker and heavier than I would typically make a bowl of this size, to make them a bit more durable. I can't wait to see one installed!

These are just stunning Neil! I can't wait to see the images of the bathroom. I'm sure there wont be issues at all, but I hope also to hear about durability with kids and wear on corners/edges etc. This is something I'm always wondering about with such a project.

They are both great, but the green one is just fantastic! Keep up the great work!

Hello! Renee' from Off the Wheel Pottery just gave me your link to see your sinks-the 2nd one is perfectly gorgeous & just my colors, of course. Will you be having them anywhere near Door/Kewaunee counties or Green Bay to see them? They really are beautiful!
Unfortunately, I don't have any up there right now. Hopefully in the future. I could always send you glaze samples and photos if you're interested in getting one. Thanks for checking out my blog!
