There's certainly been lots of uncertainty in the world lately and I know that does not make art a priority, but I'm still here making things.

These are a few of my one-of-a-kind raku vessels currently available and if you could help me find them a home with a like or share, I'd be grateful 🙏

As the holidays approach, we are still here, creating art.

As the world burns, it seems only appropriate we are making raku, if only as a reminder that from fire comes new life.

I know times are tough, but hopefully my work can find a good home. You can help by sharing🙏

Butterscotch Bear, so soft and sweet,
Caramel paws and gentle feet.
A warm embrace, a quiet glow,
A cozy friend to take it slow.

🐻🥰🌈

Butterscotch is a little gay bear, made by a not so little gay bear (who also happens to be this potter.)

✨ New Porcelain Ornament Sets are live on the website! ✨

I’m in love with how the glazes blend and flow into each other. There’s something magical about those in-between moments where the colors transition. The way they melt together feels like a little piece of winter magic. ❄️🎄

Warm blues and cool browns, and a little magic from the woods 🦉

When multiple supernova explosions and stellar winds combine, you get something super!

Below is a raku vase inspired by the Orion–Eridanus Superbubble, where smoke, flame, and drifting starlight meet on clay.

Grateful beyond words for support like this - it keeps me creating. 🙏
I've made a fair number of purchases with The Alchemist (a collections of different pots and two extremely complex sculptures of interlocking rings) and have never had a moment of regret. This is amazing, inspired, and unique work! I cannot recommend enough

Trans rights are human rights.

Holding space so everyone can live their truth seems even more important than usual these days.

We made these pieces as holiday gifts for family — and a few more for anyone who’d like to pass that care along.

I paint the land from the Anishinaabe perspective that we are all one.
I camp on the land and listen to what She tells me. Then I come back to the studio and paint her stories.

Each painting becomes an object infused with nature’s messages.

I’ve been spending more time with porcelain lately;

There is something about the way the colours melt into it that feels alive.

These ornaments capture some of that magic.

If NASA made pottery this would be it.

Born from stardust, raku-fired and galaxy inspired, 30 Doradus Tarantula can find its orbit in your space.

"Mystic Mountain" is a gas pillar in the Carina Nebula, where stardust curls into being.

This vessel holds that moment, when chaos births light, and silence learns to shine.

A vase shaped by fire, echoing the nebula’s breath, this is "Mystic Mountain."

Four forest friends, so wild, so free,
Bound by love and harmony.
Color, gender, who they love—
It matters not, just hearts above.
Through rustling leaves and skies so wide,
They stand together, side by side.
