Hey y’all, I’m Wyatt. Born in N Az, living in PDX I’m an aspiring fiber artist and ceramicist. My grandpa is a major inspiration for me to continue his love and our passion in weaving. Just began this journey and very excited to build a new community here.

So a few years ago when I first purchased a look to begin #weaving, I had reached out to a few studios and guilds to get started learning this new medium. Well today, I was informed by a studio that they have opened membership to me starting next month! As much as I wanted to begin weaving this year

After the better half of a year debating if I should quit or go part time with my job; I’ve finally put in a bid to go part time this next year. I’ve been working since I was 14; never got to go to college or have a “break” to focus on things I’ve wanted to do without working full time. I’m so

This last month has been honestly the longest and most challenging month I’ve had in a while. Work has been grueling with either union contracts or mgmt just acting out towards us. Self advocacy is exhausting but sadly necessary in the world we live in. Glad I can keep my hands busy.

A small look at some of the pieces that came out of the #kiln today! This term went by so fast. I feel like I really pushed myself this term which I’m proud of but I definitely want to clown down this next one. Still happy with how they look 🥲

Happy #caturday from Frank, the #siamese #rescuecat! God, I love this baby so much. He’s really brought so much fulfillment to our home. I can’t imagine life without him. 🥲💖

Today I got to fire a piece in #raku for the first time since starting a few terms back. I’ve missed a chance every other time so this was pretty new and exciting. Sadly the kiln was losing heat so the reduction wasn’t completed but, we’re going to try to re-fire them next week!

I was already a fan of #rosalia but holy moly this album #lux has given me so much more appreciation for her. God damn what a phenomenal album.

Glad I got to be in studio today after this emotionally exhausting work week. The end of the term is coming so quickly; I wish I could be here all the time 🥺. I made a LOT of product this term and while it pushed me; I think I’m going to be more intentional this next with what I throw.

Didn’t realize #caturday was a thing until I became a cat dad. Frank is the best addition to the family. Never in a million years did I think I’d have a cat and now I’m just beyond in love.

One of my favorite autumns in so long. I’ve loved slowing down and spending time at home and in class with ceramics. It’s brought so much peach and joy into my life and I wish I could live like this regularly without the need for income. I know it sounds like a luxury cause it is. Time is a gift.

Trump is obstructing congressional oversight to hide his cruelty. 

Public pressure is our power. I’m urging Oregonians to document what they see as ICE activity increases in our communities. Reach out to the PIRC hotline (1-888-622-1510) if you see ICE in your neighborhood.

Hey folks, my wife was laid off unexpectedly. We depend on her income with my own.

We are crunching numbers, but it's grim.

Not sure how we'll make it through November, let alone think about December.

You can help here, but we understand everyone is struggling too. <3

WOW! Thank you so much for over 25,000 Views on my new video!

The lawlessness of this regime is stunning. And that lawlessness affects every single one of us.

So glad that one of our city councilors and her cat escaped safely from this incident. I hope that this investigation goes swiftly to find answers on how this happened.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

My neck, my back, my hips and my crack 😭

6 hours in studio never seems like enough time until my dogs start barking (hips). Would like a full body massage now, plz thx.

But I will say this is the most accomplished I feel and can’t wait to see how they all come out once glazed.
