Three small bowls with getting-ready illustrations. These are probably the right size for your first bowl of ice cream.

A poster I made for the upcoming pottery sale at the studio where I make my work! There will be 25 other potters, as well as music, refreshments and a raffle.

The last cup out of this batch of cups! And now to wait until more stuff gets made and fired. Thank you for tuning in to Cup-O-Rama 2025.

Another cup. There is only one with this decoration; not part of a set. But I would try this combo again for sure!

Another set of four. Scribbling a face onto a cup - I wondered if it might seem derivative, like I'm copying the work of other artists. But drawing a face is pretty classic, and everybody draws faces differently anyway, and I have always liked drawing weird cartoon faces. Who doesn't?

Another espresso cup. This is just one individual cup, not a set of four.

Four cups. Snake, snail, butterfly and bug. Layered underglaze and glaze. I have even more of these cups to share soon!

Large frog platter that can hang on a wall! Made using a pottery form that fits onto the wheel. (Like a positive form of the negative space inside the bowl, which you "throw" upside-down.) This was my test piece, to make sure it wouldn't crack. I intend to decorate the next one more elaborately.

Plate with an illustration copied from Tom Tierney's classic Ready-to-Use Office and Business Illustrations. I'm a fan of clipart. Those of an elder Millennial persuasion may recognize Tierney's work as repurposed in the webcomic Get Your War On.

"Good Fire Going" bowl. Inspired by the fact that when people sit around a campfire, they mainly say banal observations about the fire itself. Fortunately, the glaze pooled in the spot where the smoke is!

WIP - black lines added to bisqued. May not look as good fired. I am a fan of Tom Tierney's office clipart, and this is my attempt to capture the subtle psychological mood of his work. (Orange woman looks to be seething with resentment, in my opinion.) Black and white pic is from Tierney's book.

These are the fronts of the cups. People getting ready in the morning (as they drink their coffee out of these cups).

These are the backs of the cups. Reclaimed studio clay, turquoise slip on the rim. Clear studio glaze, then commercial blue shino glaze on the rim. I forgot that studio reclaim clay has speckles in it; I assumed these would be light brown. So be it!

Some cups in progress. I am trying to re-create a cup I made very casually 10 years ago, which ended up beloved by me. Anyone else do that?

I believe everyone should let their light shine. It's just that some people's light is a fart lit on fire.

Woman reading a magazine while using a Bioré strip on her nose. This bowl, made over a year ago, is one that I really like, but nobody else really seems interested in it! Not sure why.

Woman putting on mascara. One of the earlier bowls I made during my current clay stint. And it sort of set the tone for much of my work since then.
