Thank you!!

Community studios really are the best at picking you up when you’re totally bummed. And thank you to my best friend, Rachel, for giving me some of her personally hand-dyed roving.

Retrieve, 2025

4/4

This was my first foray into soda firing, using acrylic molding paste, porcelain, and needle felting. It’s the most repetitive work I’ve made to date and I really pushed myself to make it work when it didn’t turn out how I wanted at multiple points. 3/?

As someone who used to faint during blood draws, giving myself injections was a big hurdle to overcome. I was able to retrieve 7 eggs from my first round. Here, a sea creature carry’s away porcelain eggs on its precarious, pointy legs.

I’d love to be included!

Thank you!

I’m planning on wadding the smooth surface. I’m hoping for seven wads for symbolism/concept reasons. It’s my first soda firing though so I’ll be open to what makes it stable!

Haha no worries! I didn’t use foam because I needed to see how many spikes were actually touching the surface for weight distribution. I can see why you’d want foam though!

Yes ☠️ I think I’m going to have to recruit more than just the kiln gods for this one!

Ooh! Fun idea! Thank you ❤️
