I made some mugs similar to the recent vases I posted! I work out of a community studio, so I have a lot of pieces in progress currently. #pottery #ceramics #clay

Made a couple pieces this evening! I like how they turned out. #pottery #ceramics #clay #wheelthrown #sculpture

This piece from the anagama came out with such an interesting surface. It was completely unglazed BMix going in. Everything you see is the result of ash and fire! #pottery #ceramics #clay #anagama #anagamakiln#woodfiredpottery #woodfuredceramics

Here's a video of the anagama in action! 🔥 #pottery #potter #clay #ceramics #anagama #woodfiredpottery

It's been a while since I've posted here. In the past few months, I participated in my first anagama woodfire kiln firing; it was an incredible experience and I learned a lot. Here's my favorite piece from it! #pottery #ceramics #clay #anagama #woodfiredpottery

There's a sweet Winnie the Pooh themed hiking trail where they've set it up for little kids to make believe they are in The Hundred Acre Wood, and at Pooh's "house" kiddos leave bottles of honey on a rock; certainly, I must make the iconic "hunny" jar to leave there! #pottery #clay #winniethepooh

Tried my hand at throwing a double walled vessel! A little spooky but so fun! #pottery #potter #potterywheel #wheelthrown #clay #ceramic #ceramics

Pottery glaze results! I understand some potters hate glazing, but I find it so fun. #pottery #potter #potterywheel #wheelthrown #clay #glaze #potteryglaze #ceramic #ceramics

I learned how to throw my first lidded vessels in yesterday's pottery class. #pottery #potter #potterywheel #wheelthrown #clay

New bird mug, fresh out of the kiln! Kind of wintery, will be nice for hot cocoa this holiday season. #pottery #potter #potterywheel #wheelthrown #handbuilt #bird #cardinal #winter #snow #cozy #clay

I've been tired lately, and haven't been able to understand why. Maybe I should consider not staying at the studio until 1:30 in the morning. Eh, I'll probably keep staying at the studio way too late, ha! #pottery #potter #ceramics #potterywheel #wheelthrown #handbuilt #handbuilding #clay #flowers

Glazy Sunday! Process photos! #pottery #potter #ceramics #potteryglaze #ceramicglaze #glaze #glazes #potterywheel #wheelthrown

Decorating day for Mr. Cardinal. He, and his mug perch, will be bisqued soon. #pottery #potter #clay #potterywheel #wheelthrown #handbuilt #handbuilding #mug #bird #birds #cardinal #nature #handmade

First attempt at pulling a handle, and straight off the piece no less! I think it looks pretty good, but certainly room for refinement. 🤍🙏 #pottery #potter #potterywheel #wheelthrown #clay #mug #mugs #handle #pulledhandle

Such a hard time trimming this foot ring, even tho I love trimming. Finally got it then managed to trim the bottom off! Patched it back on but it looked messy. So I carved some flames & added underglaze & made a sun. What a journey. #pottery #potterywheel #clay #problemsolving #underglaze #carved

Results! They came out great! I'm currently obsessing over layered rim dips over matte black glaze. #pottery #potter #clay #wheelthrown #potterywheel #ceramics #ceramicglazes #potteryglazes #glazes #glaze

Handle time! Can you handle it?! 😄 #pottery #potter #clay #wheelthrown #potterywheel #ceramics #ceramicmug #bird #birds

I decided to try throwing 6 lbs. of clay today, on a whim and the encouragement of studio friends, which is three times the largest amount I have thrown, as a new-ish potter. It was a challenge to center it but I think it went pretty well! #potter #pottery #potterywheel #wheelthrown #clay #ceramics

Got some things back from the kiln! #potter #pottery #handbuilt #handbuilding #potterywheel #wheelthrown #wheelthrownpottery #handbuiltpottery #clay #bird #birds #nature #🏺 #🪶

More clay things. One of these days I'll have some finished pieces! The studio's community kiln is firing nonstop. #pottery #ceramics #clay #sgraffito #wheelthrownpottery #potterywheel #🏺

I tried some foot rings! Hooray for trimming day! 🤎 #pottery #newpotter #beginnerpotter #learning #growing #clay #potterywheel #throwingpottery #wheelthrown

Each time I come to the wheel, I'm a bit better than I was. 🤎 #pottery #potterywheel #wheelthrown #throwingpottery #potter #clay #claysky

Trimmed the slip off these cool guys this morning. They look like fudge swirl ice cream! 🍦 #pottery #clay #agateware #newpotter #learning #growing #icecream

More clay things. I've recently picked up a ton of really, really helpful wheel info from @floriangadsby.bsky.social YouTube channel, and I'm excited to use that info to make some things that don't end up being small bowls. 🙃 #pottery #clay #wheelthrown

My first foray into agateware as a new potter. Really so fun! 🤎 #pottery #clay #agateware #wheelthrown #potterywheel #newpotter

Hand built travel mug came out of the kiln today! This was one of my the first pieces I made in the class I'm taking. #pottery #clay #newpotter #experimenting

I'm a brand new potter, but I'm already known as "leaf girl" at my local studio. What can I say? The outdoors is in my soul and it comes out in everything I make. 💚🌿 #pottery #clay #mug #leaf #outdoors #outdoor #nature #denali #itsdenali

Very interesting tree from this morning's stroll. #tree #nature #photography

I've been thinking about the northern lights show last October. What an incredible experience that was! #auroraborealis #aurora #northernlights #astronomy #newhampshire

I refilled the tree feeders before the storm, but ice and snow have made my cozy, sheltered window feeders appealing. #birds #🪶

The chillest of vibes this morning.👌😑👌 #pottery #clay #potterywheel

It's #SuperbOwl Sunday you say? A while ago, I was strolling along the Barred Owl Trail at Highland Farm Preserve (York Land Trust) around 11:00 in the morning when I looked around and realized I was being observed. 🪶 #birds

Your chances of being killed by a black-capped chickadee are low, but never zero. 👀 #bird #birds #chickadee #blackcappedchickadee #borb #dangerborb

Feeder drama! And a little finch munches and watches the spectacle from the safety of the window feeder. #birds #bird #backyardbirds #birdfeeder #squirrel #addBirder

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.
