The Wide Brown Sink


This sink is one of the wider sinks I've made. I made a smaller drain to highlight the large diameter. At it's base it is 8 inches wide and that the top it is 9 inches wide. This is about as wide as I should make a sink at the base for an average toilet top. If a toilet were not set directly against a wall and could be designed to be offset then I could possibly go larger.

I like the bubbling glaze effect that's happened with the light blue glaze on top of the brown.

The Tall Mossy Green Sink



This mossy green sink is one of my newest sinks. I like how the glaze turned out. The green compliments the red iron-oxide base nicely.

Sometimes when I'm not careful with the drainage holes they get clogged up with glaze. When that happens there's really not much that I can do to correct for that mistake. So with runny glazes I need to create holes that are a lot larger. With this glaze I can get away with smaller holes if I'm careful because this glaze generally stays where I put it nicely.

Another thing I did a little differently with this sink was to raise the walls and to have the walls taper a bit more. That way when your hand-washing you can put your hands in the basin as appose to over the basin. This diminishes the little splashing that occurs during hand-washing.

This added height also allows for a wider overall  diameter.  Typically, the limiting factor is the width of the toilet tank top which is about 9 inches wide. I like it when I have a few inches on each side of my base to see the top of the toilet.
