Porcelain translucent ghosts are once again haunting my backyard. They’re definitely one of my least favorite things to make (they are fiddly little buggers) but one of my favourites out of the kiln. #fall #halloween #spooky #witchy #yeglocal

Here’s one of the chalices and a few other pots to come out of my latest firing. #witchy #pottery #yegart #yeglocal

Crime number 1, handle broke. Crime number 2, another broken handle. Crime number 3 and WORST OF ALL looked like a bat instead of a possum. #pottery #yeglocal #satisfying #art #yegart

Some agateware mugs and chalices in progress. Nothing beats the simplicity of some good old black and white. #pottersofbluesky #yeglocal #yegart

I was thrilled to discover today that I am in fact not bad at pottery I was just using bad clay 😂. This happens to me more often than I’d like to admit. I stubbornly insist on using clay that is short or too dry. I used some super fresh reclaim today and it was wonderful! #pottersofbluesky

Part 2 of The Making of a Mimic mug. I couldn’t be more pleased with how this little guy is turning out 🥹. I’m breaking the first rule of pottery and getting attached. #dnd #ttrpg #pottery #pottersofbluesky #mimic

Please say a prayer for my mugs 🙏 I’ve tried EVERYTHING and continue to have attachment issues. Potters what are your most unhinged solutions for handles? I’m not talking about slowly drying them out, using magic water or paper clay. #pottery #pottersofbluesky #ceramics

Hi friends. If you are still using AI, just know you don’t need it. You are only damaging yourself and the planet. Now is not the time to dull your critical thinking skills. We also kinda need water to survive

This is maybe my fifth attempt at a mimic mug in my short time as a potter. In previous iterations, something has gone terribly wrong during firing or glazing. Say a little prayer for this little guy. #pottery #dnd #yeg #mimic

Will there ever be a need for a flail inspired butter dish? No. Did that stop me from spending HOURS on one. Also no! Please feast thine eyes upon the the spikey fruit of my labour.

Fellow artists, what ridiculous project are you working on??

#Summerween is in full swing in my potting shed. It may be August but pottery takes forever, hoping to have a full spooky collection for end of September/ early August. #ghosts #pottery #yeglocal

Meet the artist! My name is Kiera and I am the artist behind The Peevish Possum. While I’ve always been drawn to outlets for creativity and expression, pottery has really been my primary interest since 2022. I’m a big fan of all things nerdy from board games, video games and TTRPG’s.
