Art by Kris Hollingsworth
I happen to make some art.
This site is updated whenever I have time.
(Hint: It's not often enough)
First of the wobbly cups glazed. More glaze tests to follow.
Newton’s Heating/Cooling Law applied to a kiln-firing, so impatient art students can go get some sleep instead of waiting nine and a half hours for the kiln to reach a temperature they can look at their ware. —- They didn’t really appreciate me defiling their studio with math. However, I jumped around like a giddy school-girl while I compared the actual cooling with the model.
Started a new blog for my more nerd/math related projects. You can check it out if you would like. For the curious, when I left at about the 2.5 hour mark, it was only off by six degrees.
Working on new cups in ceramics. Throwing them normally, then reversing the wheel and warping them. Then back to normal spin, recentering the tops, trimming, and making a nice rim.
24”x36”. First sustained drawing assignment from Drawing II. Study of Torso anatomy of the skeleton.
Why a proposed book-burning party was a Very Good Thing Indeed.

This is the first thing I have ever reblogged to this tumblr, but it’s bloody brilliant.
A stop-motion presentation of the pictures from the wedding I shot this past weekend. Music “Counting to 100” by Matt Wertz.
Quick shot from the wedding earlier today while it is still today (10 minutes to spare!). I’ll be processing images over the next couple of days. The couple is hammering shut a box they will open in ten years which contains … They don’t know! Other than a bottle of wine and letters from their parents and grandparents. And … maybe … other things? I guess they will find out in ten years.
So, I’ve finally gotten around to setting up my photo studio to take some real shots of my ceramic work. I’ll be shooting all of my finished work over the holiday weekend and updating this over the next couple of weeks with the images as I process them. Next weekend, I’ve also got a wedding to shoot; a few of those images will likely show up as well.
I’m considering selling some of the ceramics pieces on Etsy. Those of you with experience using it: Thoughts?
And the lamp all finished.
I made a lamp. Shiny.
