Hi, everyone! I'm Andrea (she/her). I am two years into clay life and just started Snailspace Ceramics (🐌🚶‍♀️or 🐌🌌? yes.) Excited about trying out this platform, though I am better with pictures than words. Love the ceramic community! #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture

My recently completed works for #portfolioday #ceramics #sculpture #pottersofbluesky
Sculpture of a bust of a woman who seems to be made of the earth, with a collar of carrot greens and hair of cabbage buns and curling plant tendrils. A large purple highland cow sculpture, sitting like a dog on a plaid rug that is meadow-like and munching on some chartreuse greens with pink flowers.

A large sculpture of a purple highland cow sitting down like a dog on a plaid throw rug with tassles, in pink and greens that resemble in some ways flowers and grass. The cow has a sweet face and is chomping on two dimensional pink flowers and chartreuse grass. On her horns, there rests two black and pink striped discs that can hold candles.

"Tend Her," 2025 (stoneware, slip, underglaze, epoxy).

Been away for a minute but have some new works to share 🌱 #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture #handbuildersofbluesky
Ceramic bust of woman who embodies the rich earth and foliage of a garden, with purple and green cabbage buns nestled in neat rows, and green curled tendrils trailing down. She also has gently curled fern frond eyelashes and a green high, regal collar with carrot greens like etchings on its interior. Detail shot of purple and green cabbage buns. Detail shot of her eye, with gently curling fern frond eyelashes.

New work, "Astride to a Watery Grave." Porcelain, underglaze, glaze, epoxy. #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture #handbuildersofbluesky
An eerie blue and green kelpie (water horse) sculpture appears to be emerging from the black surface, its head and its tail in two separate pieces. The mouth is open and the mane and tail are flowing back.

The weekend before inauguration day, some friends and I went to the mountains. I gave a mini handbuilding lesson and they embraced it with so much enthusiasm. Seeing the final pieces together brings me a lot of joy in these times 🤍 #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture #handbuildersofbluesky
Five ceramic pieces each made by a different member of a group of friends. Top L to R: three white trillium leaves emerging out of a little green pot, an orange brittle starfish resting in a coral-like shaped small ocean blue pot, a little dodo bird pot with tiny plants starting to grow in it. Bottom L to R: a purple, red, and goldish brown turtle in motion, a green shelled reddish brown turtle that is a lidded pot (shell lifts off).

She made it out of bisque! Surface treatment in progress. #WIP #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture #handbuildersofbluesky
White porcelain bisqued kelpie maquette, in two pieces such that it looks like the head and tail are rising out of the table surface. Porcelain bisqued kelpie maquette, in two pieces such that it looks like the head and tail are rising out of the table surface. Greens and blues in underglaze have begun to be applied in an overlapping way to create a soft effect.

Grateful and delighted to share that this little one is going to Philly for the @theclaystudiophl Small Favors show starting in April!! "Cold and Sweet" 🤍 #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture
A small sculpture of a woodland friend bundled up warm in a little full body sweater with a hood, such that only their face pokes out. They are a grumpy young opposum wearing a fancy yellow sweater covered in cables and poms that their mom made them wear.

Today was studio time and then having dinner and a "movie" with a clay friend. This month's pick was really soothing and lovely: ceramicartsnetwork.org/clayflicks/c...

The little things, like lemon cookies and one of my most prized Callahan Ceramics mugs
The perfect breakfast, freshly homemade lemon cookies, and coffee in a cheery handmade ceramic mug that shows rolling green hills dotted with dairy cows and a sunny blue sky with white fluffy clouds.

A maquette I made last year (still working out the kinks in the bigger piece, "Out Like a Lamb") #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture
A small ceramic lamb with a bright tulip field on their back in pinks, purples, reds, and yellows, and their head painted like a blue sky summer day with puffy clouds rising up off their forehead.

A throwback to a wall hanging I made my brother as a gift. "Wild Rumpus," 2024. #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture
Sitting on bright green grass is a ceramic mask of the face of one of the wild things from the children's book Where the Wild Things Are. The face has two white horns, dark wild hair, sunflower yellow eyes looking to the right, a prominent pinkish coral colored nose, and white teeth coming down over its bottom lip.

Today's #WIP, a porcelain maquette as I figure out a new potential larger sculpture of a kelpie #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture
Freshly sculpted and drying porcelain kelpie, a mythological water horse creature. On the right, the head emerges from the table as if from water, with wild kelp strands of hair flowing up and back. On the left, the tail similarly emerges from the table with more twisting strands of kelp.

Working out some bottles and liquor sets inspired by flowers. I had so much fun exploring the flower lids, I think I have amassed 3 different lids for each bottle. As usual, I’m crossing fingers that they look as good after glazing as they do in my head. 🤞 #pottersofbluesky
An in progress image of five bottles inspired by flower forms. The bottles are of varying heights with bulbous bases, long necks and flower toppers. Two of the bottles sit in trays shaped like fences with a set of cups nestled beside them.

Not processing the world well today. Some little faces for a hopeful respite.

"Cold and Sweet," 2024. #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture
Two small sculptures of woodland friends bundled up warm in little full body sweaters with hoods, such that only their faces poke out. On the left, a somewhat startled raccoon in a sporty blue and green sweater with argyle and a pom. On the right, a grumpy young opposum wearing a fancy yellow sweater covered in cables and poms that their mom made them wear.
