I feel like I’m finally getting close to the maroon color I’ve been chasing. AND this last load was finally a success. No crawling, no warping, no slip flaking, no over-firing. It’s nice to feel cautiously optimistic.

Another delightfully caffeinated handle on another yellow mug. If this is a pattern, I'm not mad about it

Been feeling pretty shy about sharing this because imposter feelings run deep, but also extremely stoked to have a written piece out in the world. The Aug/Sept issue of Pottery Making Illustrated is out, & I'm honored to be included with so many incredible artists.

The finished mug from today's workshop!
I cannot say "thank you" enough to everyone who tuned in, asked questions, and listened to me blather on. And to @pocosinarts.bsky.social for allowing me to do my first workshop!! I had a great time 😄

I’m teaching a workshop with @pocosinarts.bsky.social in a few weeks that’s all about how I layer surfaces with slip and stencils.
Come hang out! It’ll be fun 🤩

Got a kiln firing and I’m hoping that the one last smooth red I’m testing will be a winner. Fingers crossed

Nothing like pushing firings down to the wire and testing new slip colors on actual pieces (as opposed to test tiles) 🫠

The saga of the wobble vase has finally ended in a victory. Big shout out to my hand builder friends who were so generous with sharing their tips and suggestions (without their help this guy wouldn’t have survived either)

Dangy was on duty as studio assistant today and got to help photograph pots. (By help, she kept nudging my elbow for pets while I was trying to focus the camera and demanded lots of belly rubs)

Studio assistant Monte was very disappointed that he had to work instead of play with his ball. (Don’t worry, there was plenty of fetching done, but the limit does not exist for Monte)
