to know when I post new videos. I’m sorry I can’t easily respond to
comments left on youtube. I try! You can also direct questions to my
Facebook page Evolution Stoneware Pottery or email me through my website
www.EvolutionStoneware.com. This is a demo of a ceramic cigar box
style guitar (CBG style) that I made out of stoneware clay. The clay
guitar body & slide were sculpted, fired to 1945F, engobe coloring
was added, and they were fired again to 2232F in 1 of my electric kilns.
The guitar body is modeled on one of my organic seed pod type designs.
The neck is oak. It’s tuned to A, D. This video was made for you by
Janis Wilson Hughes, owner of Evolution Stoneware Pottery.

I
played this through an outboard piezo preamp box that I built yesterday,
into an effects unit, and into my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe tube amp with a
power soak unit I built years ago. The tune is an improvisation written
by me yesterday.

The Cup from Story Shed on Vimeo.

Sophie Moran produces ceramic tableware and unique pieces that sell in galleries and retail outlets throughout Australia.

The Quarry collection features high fired, functional, stoneware
vessels with flecked, matte glazes in a palette of earthy colours. While
recognising the influence of traditional Japanese pottery, this work
also aims to capture the sun bleached character of the Australian
outback, bringing a sense of the land into contemporary homes, for use
with our modern and multi-cultural meals. sophiemoran.info

Story Shed is a video production company based in Melbourne, formed
by multi-media producer Nadia Hume and award-winning cameraman Matt
Jasper. Together, Nadia and Matt have over 40 years experience in
broadcast media working in Australia and internationally.

Story Shed was formed out of a shared love of bringing stories to life on screen. storyshed.com.au
The music is by local Melbourne band Ponyface. Pony Face’s music is a
sonic kaleidoscope, encompassing psych/surf guitars, doom drums, bass
lines moulded from rock bottom and sampled textural layers which have
become synonymous with a loud spacial sound. ponyface.com.au

The video was shot by Matt Jasper using a Canon 1DC with Zeiss prime
lenses. It was edited in Avid Media Composer and graded using Deluts
within Davinci Resolve. The video was produced by Nadia Hume for Story
Shed Melbourne.
