Thank you! Its a Mayco Alabaster base with Amaco Seaweed around the top.

More bowls! Balancing my expectations with the end result is always an interesting process. But I think Im getting better at appreciating what I make.

It’s so refreshing to read a story about a bad ass middle aged woman/infamous pirate going on epic adventures. Please read this book! It is a beautiful audiobook for those who prefer to listen.

This one was free. It doesn’t actually get plugged in, so it doesn’t need to work. Good luck finding one. Im so excited to inspire someone else with this idea, because it has been so helpful for me.

The bottom fridge part is where I keep my works in progress at a leather hard stage. The freezer is where my finished stuff goes. It takes a long time to get to bone dry in there. Sometimes I leave the door open to speed up the process. But I rarely have cracked pieces!

When the freezer fills up, a trip to Georgies is in my near future.

Brilliant idea! I will try that next time!

Elisabeth Guffey @elisabethguffey.bsky.social · Aug 25

There was a moment I thought it might bee too much. But I managed 😅

An old beer fridge I got for free in craigslist. Now it serves as a damp box for my pottery to stay leather hard while Im working on it.

Yes, one class and I knew I would never stop. The pure joy of making something.

A girl can’t resist a good sticker!

Elisabeth Guffey @elisabethguffey.bsky.social · Aug 24

Its my favorite place to put stickers.

Not even a heatwave can stop me from throwing pots in the garage.

I always say “my big bowls bring all the boys to the yard”

Elisabeth Guffey @elisabethguffey.bsky.social · Aug 18

Creative glaze layers!

Elisabeth Guffey @elisabethguffey.bsky.social · Aug 18

Nope. Not at this time. But hopefully someday.

Elisabeth Guffey @elisabethguffey.bsky.social · Aug 18

I couldn’t imagine watching that! Nothing I make is perfect 😅

Elisabeth Guffey @elisabethguffey.bsky.social · Aug 18

The magic of layering and luck

I talk about pottery feeling like magic sometimes. These big bowls sure did turn out magical though!

I don’t sell (yet!) because Im a full time working mom with young kids. Making enough pieces to sell is a bit outside my capabilities. But hopefully someday!

Thank you! I use an extruder, because pulling handles is such a pain. And in pottery, if it doesn’t bring joy, I don’t do it 😅

Staying up till 1am looks different in your late 30s. Throwing big bowls is my favorite though.

My faves for creating the “magic”. I love depth in my glazes.

Elisabeth Guffey @elisabethguffey.bsky.social · Aug 17

Just a hobby right now, but maybe someday!

Elisabeth Guffey @elisabethguffey.bsky.social · Aug 16

Thanks ☺️
