The al Fresco event is today, 11a-4p @ Main St & Longs Peak in Longmont, CO. Several makers will be set up on the sidewalks and many stores will be having sales. Come get a jump on holiday shopping or find a treasure for yourself. I'll have (mostly) mugs and ornaments for this event.

It's been a minute, Bluesky. I'm still busy creating, but the world seems to be on fire (literally & metaphorically) & it's tough to get out of my mind. So, thought I'd share 1 of the more recent hanging creations to hopefully bring a 🙂 to someone else.💕🥰 Have a wonderful day!

You know, I really love that as many (& there are so many) potters/clay workers that I have had the opportunity to see in the world, we all seem (for the most part) to find a unique point of view, finish & technique...and I truly appreciate it.
I'm really more of a sculptor but I've enjoyed making

2) Grateful for two healthy & happy (maybe overly so on some days) dogs.🐕🐕
3) Appreciative of a partner who helps not only me but others as well.🆘🙋♂️

A little 3-artist pop-up today from 11a-4p. If you are in the area/local, we'd love to see you.😀 The event will include jewelry, painting and clay (sculpture/pottery), if these are things you enjoy.

Made ornaments to thank our dog trainers for the last 8 weeks of our youngest dog's 4th round of training. Hopefully, things will click this time around for all of us.🐕🐾 If nothing else, they will have a reminder of the problem child they never hope to see again.🤭

These pup mugs are making me so happy! Can't wait to share them with others at upcoming spring events.🐕🐾😀
I'll be in Lafayette, CO, for Art Night Out on May 9, 5-9p. If you are local, come and say hi.

Glazing dog mugs. 🥰🐾 What breeds would you want to see? These are just a few, and they vary significantly (with some having patterned backgrounds and some having thumb rest decorations on the handles), but I will be curious to see if pup-peeps like them.

Unpacking the last of our move-straggler-boxes and found this photo. @lisas3575.bsky.social It's circa 1995...any thoughts on where it was taken in town?

I'm debating whether or not to make more of these. I made samples first because I knew they would be bright. Typically, I haven't gone this intense with saturation, but change can be nice too.
If you have thoughts I'm all ears, or eyes, I suppose.😁 #brightcolors #ceramic #pottery

One of my favorites from the last firing. Can't wait to see who ends up with this one...and further to see if I can replicate it.🙃

Took one of the pups to Goldens in Golden today. SO MANY GOLDENS! Literally everywhere. It was amazing. My boy just turned 2, so wasn't sure how well he'd do. You can see he was stressed, but super proud that he had great interactions w/people & dogs. Next time will be better🤞🐾 & we'll linger a bit.

@fettleandfire.bsky.social & I have been doing monthly make-alongs. Tonight's class was mini plants & I'm so impressed with the work everyone did! Especially with so many having little clay experience. Each one added their own special flair. My heart is full.💕🌵🌿 If you are local (Boulder Co area) &

Argh! I'm in the middle of making a large order of plates, and I don't have room to make or fire them all at once in my studio/kiln, so it's been split into three parts. The first part is currently in the kiln firing so I thought I would start making the second part. But, the future owners and I

I've been terrible about posting things I'm working on this year, but I've been busy making lots of treasures & working on a large commission order. Here's a small sculpture that I made in early January. She cracked quite a bit in the initial firing, but I know why, so I may try again.☺️ #ceramic

Sometimes it feels like the world makes it difficult to share art. I was pondering finally adding items to my Etsy shop, but have read a lot of negative opinions/seen many leaving the platform (for a variety of reasons) & thought better of it. But, I've also experienced what others have when

Can't believe it is December! How did it sneak up so quickly?! Made a few holiday cups/mugs this year, but these little ones (hold ~3oz) are so darn cute. Curious to see what the public thinks at next weekend's market.
