Excited to glaze this new planter design and hang all the crystals! Thinking gloss white with mother of pearl… or some underglaze color accents on the leaves and flowers. How would you glaze it?

Studio work can be so meditative. Bringing an image in my head into reality through simple motions and connections with clay is so satisfying.

I have made hundreds of Monstera planters. Each one is unique. Each one teaches me something, and I absolutely love the process of bringing them to life.

Today in the studio, working on glazing this big leafy planter. I used an indigo interactive pigment to add some depth before applying the glaze.

New hanging planter design, with space for hanging crystals. Some chandelier inspiration happening here.

Even doing lots of glaze experiments since we got to Portugal. This is totally not what I was hoping for but I really dig how the inside of the bowl came out! Bonus: I even made notes so I can do it again! 😂

Last weekend we were gifted two kilns by a French ceramic artist moving back to France. I don’t know many people in Portugal yet, and was amazed how so many came together to help us move this giant thing into the residency studio. A good reminder that community is out there to help us. ❤️
