Just had to say goodbye to my good boy this morning. My heart is broken. He was the best cuddle buddy. #dogs #goodbye #pets #fuckcancer

I'm struggling with a lot of work stress that is sucking my will to create art. What do you to get past that? I could really use some pro-tips.

There ain’t enough sage, incense, or sacrificial chickens in the world for this bullshit. Pic for the pic gods.

So, how’s this? Bisc fired and waiting for glaze. Any color suggestions? Also, what do you do to keep plates from warping in the kiln. ALL mine warped. #pottery #art #ceramic #clay

How do you all stack your plates in the kiln? Does this look ok? #pottery

You know what’s annoying? Nicking the sides of your pots every few minutes when you’re trying to burnish. Pic for pic tax #pottery #claws #weekendatburnish #pixforthepixgods

You know how when you are mixing glazes, some of them have the same materials? If you're anything like me, you might be tempted to mix several glazes at the same time. I pre-labeled my bottles then poured the wrong glazes into them. This was supposed to be different. #clay #ceramics #art #pottery

How do we feel about this glaze? It’s what I would call temperamental, so I’m not sure if I’m going to keep using it unless people really dig it. #pottery #ceramics #clay #art

Pulled this beauty out of the kiln yesterday. This is a commission piece for a friend, and I’m absolutely thrilled with how this turned out. I had an idea how it might turn out, but it exceeded my expectations! #pottery #clay #ceramics #art

Looking for some input. I recently fell in love with Amaco’s ancient copper. Recently someone posted a pic of Pasler’s gold. Which do you prefer? I like both for different reasons. #pottery

NCECA was amazing! I met tons of potters, I exchanged a mug, I spent way too much money, and I saw a lot of amazing work! #pottery #clay #NCECA #ceramic #art
