Come visit the Starflower Studios gang this First Friday, downtown Bham! #bellinghamwa #artwalk #pottersofbluesky #starflowerbellingham #womenwhowoodfire #ceramics #claylife @starflowerstudios.bsky.social

I went from 0 to 2 tattoos in 1 week! Fiery mug by my dear friend, Erica; starflower by my dear daughter, @frolickingfawn.bsky.social, who’s preparing to launch her tattooing career at @starflowerstudios.bsky.social, downtown Bham. #myfavoritethings #woodfire #pottery #starflower #tattoo #bellingham

There’s a surprising amount of color appearing on my shelves of bisque ware. It’s almost time for wood/salt/soda firing! #womenwhowoodfire #pottersofbluesky #claylife #studiopotter #woodfire #pottery #ceramicartist

Who’s excited for #nceca?! (And who’s feeling like our friend in the back?) #pottersofbluesky #ceramicart #claylife #claycommunity #womenwhowoodfire #owls

Look at my coil-built workshop demo piece post-anagama firing! Thank you for sending the pic, @mikeolsenceramics.bsky.social ! I had so much fun teaching that workshop and meeting so many wonderful folks in Australia last September.  #ceramicworkshop #womenwhowoodfire #coilbuilt #pottersofbluesky

My first two hand-woven baskets—affectionately dubbed, “Laurel & Hardy”. ✨ #makersgonnamake #basketry #handwoven #texturetuesday #handmade #basket #bellingham

A studio vignette for #makermonday. It feels good to have filling shelves and still plenty of space to move around. I’m in love with my new creative haven, @starflower.bellingham. ⭐️ #claystudio #potterylife #meetthemaker #pottersofbluesky #womenwhowoodfire #dowhatyoulove #iloveclay #studiopotter

It’s almost time for NCECA! Who’s going? 🙋‍♀️ #nceca #pottersofbluesky #claycommunity #ceramics #pottery #studiopotter #claylife

Teaching a workshop! What better way to spend a stormy Sunday? Thanks for having me, Baker Creek Ceramics! #coilbuilt #ceramicworkshop #bellinghamwa #ceramics #potteryteacher #bakercreekceramics #studiopotter

Getting back into teaching my coil-building workshop has sparked a lot of fresh inspiration in my own work. #coilbuilt #ceramicworkshop #ceramics #pottery #potsonpots #pottersofbluesky #studiopotter #bellingham #handmade

Wait, that’s not pottery! I tried a new craft today. It’s nice to use my brain differently and I appreciate the focus required. I am excited to explore the possibilities of basketry. Stay tuned for eventual completion of this little waxed linen darlin’! #basketry #makersgonnamake #studioartist

My small business could use a little extra support. @goodearthpottery.bsky.social 😔 www.goodearthpots.com • #goodearthpottery #bellinghamwa #smallbusinessowner #supportsmallbusiness #pottersofbluesky

First owls perched in @starflowerstudios.bsky.social. I’m celebrating all the little good things to distract from all the you-know-what. These owls are looking a little more severe than previous ones. #mood #pottersofbluesky #claystudio #studiopotter #dowhatyoulove #woodfire #ceramics #clayart

Do you want to get creative with coils? Come roll a story with me! I’m teaching a workshop at Clayhouse Anacortes on February 9th. Check out the Workshops page on my website to find the registration link. ✨ #coilbuilt #ceramics #potteryworkshop #anacortes #claystudio #skagitvalley #studiopotter

Introduction! Cohorts.Art is an award-winning mentorship program for artists. A small cohort works with a designated professional artist both as a group and individually for an educational experience uniquely tailored to each student. Online and in-person. #cohortsdotart #artmentor #craftcommunity

PAINTINGS PAIRED with ceramic art? Sí! In this case, I was inspired by the tiles of Portugal and @annieoclay.bsky.social saw fit to feature me in her beloved gallery #goodearthpottery

This image really represents me: my passion for clay and wood-firing, and all the thoughts, ideas, plans, responsibilities swirling around in my head. 🌀 #potterylife #ceramics #studiopotter #workinprogress #bellinghamwa #clayart #woodfiredceramics #claycommunity #lovewhatyoudo

Little brown bat design I’m going to tattoo on myself this weekend 🦇
