I feel like I’m finally getting close to the maroon color I’ve been chasing. AND this last load was finally a success. No crawling, no warping, no slip flaking, no over-firing. It’s nice to feel cautiously optimistic.

Another delightfully caffeinated handle on another yellow mug. If this is a pattern, I'm not mad about it

Been feeling pretty shy about sharing this because imposter feelings run deep, but also extremely stoked to have a written piece out in the world. The Aug/Sept issue of Pottery Making Illustrated is out, & I'm honored to be included with so many incredible artists.

In an effort to avoid burnout, here’s a little something different

Can’t have summer themed pots without some lightning bugs, right?

The finished mug from today's workshop!

I cannot say "thank you" enough to everyone who tuned in, asked questions, and listened to me blather on. And to @pocosinarts.bsky.social for allowing me to do my first workshop!! I had a great time 😄

10 days until my layering workshop with @pocosinarts.bsky.social and there are very important considerations to be made like...what transfer should we do?

I’m teaching a workshop with @pocosinarts.bsky.social in a few weeks that’s all about how I layer surfaces with slip and stencils.

Come hang out! It’ll be fun 🤩

Pots!

Got a kiln firing and I’m hoping that the one last smooth red I’m testing will be a winner. Fingers crossed

Nothing like pushing firings down to the wire and testing new slip colors on actual pieces (as opposed to test tiles) 🫠

@ NCECA! We’ll be passing them out at the conference next month 🎉 They were made using the split fountain technique, or several inks on the screen at once. This means each one is different & has…you guessed it, a fair amount of color 😉

The saga of the wobble vase has finally ended in a victory. Big shout out to my hand builder friends who were so generous with sharing their tips and suggestions (without their help this guy wouldn’t have survived either)
