I forgot to share it here! I sculpted a pair of bears for the Great Pottery Throwdown challenge, and I'm not going to let the lack of a Raku kiln stop me from doing something really cool! #pottersofbluesky #throwdown #makealong #challenge #pottery #sculpture #pitfire

Those pants were the crime.
Well, I asked my studio manager what he was up to, and this was his answer 😂

Episode 2 of Great Pottery Throwdown make-along challenge! Slab building a pair of bookends, and I'm pretty pleased with how they came together. #pottersofbluesky #throwdown #challenge #makealong #slabbuilt #handmade #bookends #mushrooms
Sculpted trumpet mushrooms as a pair of bookends, still in raw clay.
The process video is up on YouTube, super happy with these and can't wait to add the color! #pottersofbluesky #handbuilt #throwdown #makealong #challenge #mushroom #bookends
My analog Skutt, who will be officially named with our first proper firing this week! The shelving unit is all assembled and I've started getting my bits and bobs put away so the basement doesn't feel like such a catastrophe. Back in the zone making work regularly with Great Pottery Throwdown for inspiration and it feels GREAT!
I got the shelving unit up, my kiln furniture is all here, started organizing the bits and bobs I got as part of the estate sale with my kilns and I have SO MANY stilts!!! All shapes and sizes, plus MOLDS for most of them to make more!!! #pottersofbluesky #comingtogether #organizing #realstudio
Too many car problems, and heating oil, and kiln parts all coming in at the same time, who wants an army of Pocket Gnomes, and what would be a reasonable price to list? 😅 Limited run, a mix of pit firing and glazing in an electric kiln. #pottersofbluesky #flashsale #gnomearmy #pocketgnome #sale

Technical difficulties have this post in the early hours *after* the second episode rather than before, but I made a soup set and I'm exited about it! #greatpotterythrowdown #makealong #challenge #soup #lotr #pottersofbluesky
Lilja, lit up and ready to welcome the new year
I love the way the fresh snow makes it seem like the lights are emerging.
Walking underneath one of the dragonfly sculptures I happen to look up and see the moon just perfectly placed!
A fox sculpture among the trees. The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens Aglow is always magical.
Some of my favorite shots from 2025 Gardens Aglow!
The feeder was busy today! Downy woodpecker, a handful of Tufted Titmouse, Goldfinches, and a Junco! It's been a few years since I've seen them! #birddog #birdwatch #feeder #nature #winterbirds
A pair of Bluebirds came by the feeder to see the old year off and ring in the new! Surely a good omen!
Lilja, one of five Trolls at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens lit up for Gardens Aglow.
Ending the year with another batch of reclaim in the works, ready to begin 2026 able to fire away! May all our ventures see meaningful growth and satisfaction in the coming year. #HappyNewYear #pottersofbluesky #smallbusiness #makers #artists #everyone #prosperity #satisfaction #progress
youtube.com/shorts/RANe_... Nothing like the magic of the holidays! My kiln is running, and I am officially back in business! Shout out to Tim from Skutt for walking me through how to use an analog kiln! #pottersofbluesky #holidaymagic #backinbusiness #gnomes #kiln #pottery
Happy Solstice, wishing us all more peace and prosperity into the new year with a lit up, be-ribboned tree
A happy solstice to everyone, may the returning sunlight bring peace and prosperity back with it! #seasonsgreetings #happyholidays #solstice #sunlight
She's alive! My kiln is on, vent is running, and it didn't immediately trip a breaker so fingers crossed this goes well!!!
She LIVES!!!!! Just a few pieces in her initial test firing, but she's up and running! #pottersofbluesky #kiln #handmade #madeinaskutt #firstfiring #progress

I did a fun little video on how I made the gnomes! #pottersofbluesky #funproject #holiday #crafting #gnomes #handmade #whimsy #kilngods
A lovely day for a stroll in the woods, ending with a nice little view of ducks on the river. This is the pretty part of winter that makes people think they want to live in Maine. Most will change their mind about mid-January 🤣 #winterwonderland #walkinthewoods #maineadventure
Detail shot of the Paracord wrapped handle on a Beach Rocks patterned teapot
One of my favorite makes, a teapot in my Beach Rocks design, the handles done in 18k gold luster and tied with a Paracord hitch knot.
The other side of the Beach Rocks teapot
Visiting with my aunt who's got quite the collection of my work going, like this little teapot! It's my Beach Rocks design with 18k gold luster. I'm so incredibly excited to be able to start making things like this again, it's one of my favorites. #pottersofbluesky #teapot #handmade #family #pottery
Not gonna lie, really tempted to just make a million of these lil guys now. 🤣 The idea was to throw together some stuff to pit fire this week, but I think I actually want to glaze the gnomes! Never used to like garden gnomes, but something about this version of them with just a nose and hat makes me giggle.
Ok, so I'm just puttering to get some stuff to throw in a pit fire this week for a last minute holiday pop up, but I'm kinda obsessed with these lil guys now 😂 Who wants a bunch out of my first official kiln firing? #pottersofbluesky #lilguy #gnome #handmade #holiday #fun #sculpt #ceramic
Remember kids, the economic boycott is for corporate oligarchs, not individual makers trying to survive long enough to see the end of capitalist dystopia. #shopsmall #Saturday #smallbusiness #makers #artists #realpeople #support #local #consciousconsumer #handmade
Just a little baby desperately in need of more love

Cuddled up as mama works on a safety orange vest to go with mine on our woodland adventures!
A few leaves still clinging, to a tree I have yet to identify but it has what looks like blueberries the size of grapes on it! We'll see what iNaturalist thinks.
When it's too damp and chilly for an adventure, you cozy up and prep for a day it's nice out again! #cozy #maine #fall #crochet #safetyfirst #hivis #project
