Upscaling my popcorn with a fancy bowl 😆

Another big #porcelain bowl

Finished with my last shift of this noborigama firing. (including some drama where the shift lead had to ask the third guy to leave because he was being a condescending asshole and other reasons.) Now I have to wait a week to see how all my stuff comes out!

Firing away! #pottery

After four hours of schlepping wood during the firing and then four more hours of throwing, my arms, shoulders, and back are mad at me :)

4 hour shift done. Surprisingly cold and windy. Now to get the cold out of my bones and do some throwing

Fiiiire

I’m so used to being assigned to the 12-4am Saturday shift for a noborigama firing that doing the 8am-noon one instead is going to feel like such a luxury! (My Sunday shift is 4am-8am which will suck but hey at least I took Monday off.)

Kodachrome or Sir Duke

we are dealing with actual nazis. that’s how they ought to be treated. stop confirming their judges. stop pretending bipartisanship is a virtue. they want to kill immigrants and they’ve been given billions to do it.

In the next week and a half I have three wood kiln shifts, three concerts, new class term starting, and a wood kiln unloading. And then a week later having a small party at my house which requires much prep and cleaning. Y’all I might perish.

Cream cheesing my bagel with a spoon because I forgot to grab a knife in the cafeteria. I’m an innovator!

And lastly, my little sombrero juicer! The wild thing is this is that same yellow glaze from the omelette bowl but the clay body is so aggressively iron rich. #pottery

Goblet! 🤘🏻 #pottery

More happy results! I’ve really come to love that pattern on the bottle every time I’ve done it. Also that yellow glaze is so amazingly reliable for taping. 🤘🏻 #pottery

The notably taciturn studio owner was quite complimentary about this one when it came out! #pottery

Yay they came out great! And the lid worked so well being flat that it’s screaming to be redone on coasters and/or plates. #pottery

“I don’t even know ya know ya”

TMBG sang it best: youtu.be/vvCGZEqk8Ak?...

Suicidal ideation? Yeah, checks out.

Big brother is home! Though I made the boneheaded move of forgetting to do the iron wax on the top of the knob. #pottery

I was a brave girl and went to a new dentist after I lost all momentum with Covid. They were very nice and said things looked pretty good. Adulting! This made possible by a dental office you could initiate treatment with by online form. Now to find a doctor who does the same.

It’s wild to live in a big swimming pool they’re filling with concrete because they don’t want black people to have anything that’s pretending to be a country

If you see this, post your blue art

Ok I couldn’t resist #TMBG

Feels like someone needs to make a Particle Man parody about cheap furniture. “Particle board, particle board, furniture that even I can afford”

I’ve been watching Silent Witness from the beginning just to fill time and just encountered a baby Cumberbatch!

After I was done glazing for the noborigama today I decided to do some throwing since I hadn’t in weeks. Made three nice things, and then I was all “ok after I wedge this clay from the failed jar last term, I’ll throw a jar & quit”. It was lovely. And then a bat pin got stuck and WHOOPS. 😢 #pottery

It’s a funny time in any XTC fan’s life, especially when you got into them young, when you go from thinking Pink Thing is a really weird song to write about a baby to realizing…

This is quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever made! A bank to go in my best friend's dragon inspired nursery! I have a ton of old coins, including a bunch from different countries pre-Euro that I'll put in as the beginning of their own little hoard 😁 #baby #bank #nursery #handmade #somuchlove

This is why they’re my inspiration.

all americans are created equal which is why equality demands that we obliterate all representation for 40 percent of the people of the state

What garbage food from your childhood do you secretly yearn for even though you can’t bring yourself to go there anymore? I was just thinking about velveeta. But it had to be cold. Where you basically were making a dental mold with every bite and it kinda squeaked. Hated it melted. Too glorpy.

I dearly miss the glory days of television without pity

Went to the studio after work to do some glazing for the noborigama. Made progress but ran out of fucks for wadding it all so I’ll have to do even more than I expected on Saturday. 😩

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap

Made by one of my young pottery students. It says “F**k AI, I made this with my own two hands” I have a lot of faith in our kids☺️

applaud this as the thing that will likely, finally, give Elon Musk a stroke

hate that this was 10 years ago and it's only gotten more true

My boss was over the wall talking to a coworker and I stood up to take a walk and she was all “Andrea! Your hair is blue!” And asked how long ago I did that and boy it’s great to have confirmation there’s been zero value to my coming into the office since she hasn’t even noticed my presence.

Fortunately, there are numbers to multiply by that are bigger than two.

Why yes I did base my entire office outfit today on my headband.

Leaving aside that it’s obviously long past time I took buzzfeed off my rss feed.. I deeply hate how obvious it is when they’ve been paid to desperately try to make fetch happen.

I thinned down my new glaze a little bit and it’s come out peeeeeerfect. Semi-matte, variably crystalline, clean lines and beautifully toasted clay. #pottery

Also the next somebody says reparations for black people is a ridiculous idea, remind them that we have a reparations program for trying to overthrow the government

can only afford universal basic income for white supremacy
