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.

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 🀩

Pots!

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) 🫠
