The patterns on my last batch of marble mugs are so damn amazing. Whatever I did to wedge these I need to exactly replicate every time. #pottery #mugs #ceramics #art

Me and the bestie I hand made out of clay at the romantic rooftop spot before sunset. #pottery #porcelain #ceramics #clay #art

I love with agateware, even the trimming scraps are pretty. #agateware #pottery #marble #porcelain #ceramics #art

Before/After of a stoneware agateware mug. I'm mixed on the glaze, as this clear has some drawbacks, but I love the piece. #art #ceramics #agateware #pottery

My favorite oil bottles yet. The last few I made were loose where the cap sat, so I really hope these turn out well. They're really efficient for stain use due to the wedging method I've been doing, using ~0.5 lb of dyed clay and ~3 lbs of plain clay. #porcelain #agateware #marble #ceramics #art

A few mugs I made this weekend before/after trimming. I love how constrating they are after. I like the blending in a different way though, and I think I may know how to replicate it post trimming if I feel like it in the future. #mugs #pottery #wheelthrown #ceramics #porcelain #agateware #marble

Currently glazing pottery and trying to pretend the world is not getting worse every day. Wouldn't it be crazy if good things happen? #pottery #agateware #mugs #planters #porcelain

Marble orange mugs I've been making. Full throwing video at some point (probably). Maybe once I'm back from Winnipeg. Tests are hopefully done soon for new colors, so eventually I'll hopefully have blue, red, purple and yellow marble mugs. #pottery #agateware #ceramics #clay #porcelain #mugs

How wedging can effect the end result in agateware. Pretty happy with this one. Hopefully the oil bottle cap fits well on this one because honestly I haven't really figured out that part yet. #pottery #art #ceramics #porcelain #agateware

Today I tried out some carving on an agateware planter. It was definitely a neat result, but not without incident, as you can see in the last 2 pics. Thankfully nothing unfixable though. #planters #agateware #pottery #ceramics #porcelain #marble #art

I had some disasters happen with some of my pieces. Nothing explosive, but I think I had clays that shrank too differently, and caused some bloating, bubbles and cracking. At least I was able to look at it in depth after breaking it. #pottery #agateware #clay #ceramics #art

I've made some changes to my wedging process for agateware. This really helps maximize the pattern and effects I can get in a piece with a small amping of stained clay (stain is expensive and takes work to wedge in). #pottery #porcelain #agateware #ceramics #marble #clay #wedging

So happy with this oil vase. I have to do some fancy wedging and throwing techniques to get this sort of marbling effect instead of just a spiral, but it's so worth it. #pottery #agateware #ceramics #porcelain

Miniature agateware vase. These are so cute and it seems people who buy stuff from me love them a whole lot more than I even love making them. #agateware #pottery #ceramics #pottery #clay

Throwing and trimming process for afore-posted big marble vase. I'm loving how it's coming out but already have ideas for the next one. Also sorry for bad camera work and not including the top piece attachment (a class was starting). #pottery #agateware #wheelthrownpottery #porcelain #ceramics

Quick update on some of my agateware pieces. I especially love mug#2 (white/brown). I need to figure out exactly how I wedges that and replicate it. #pottery #art #ceramics #agateware

There is no such thing as bad weather for cycling, only bad clothing.

Big (maybe 1.5 feet?) agateware vase is now trimmed. Only 4.5 lbs before it's even dry. I think I'm loving porcelain more than I ever liked stoneware. It's gonna look so good when it's fired. #ceramics #art #porcelain #agateware #wheelthrownpottery

Milwaukee River, just south of North Ave. Having grown up in a far less snowy place, I'll never stop enjoying winter, or the wonderful change in the scenery it brings.

I wish it was more feasible to get these sort of swirls that you see on the bottom of this piece on to the main body. It looks so neat and stark with the black/white contrast. #porcelain #pottery #ceramics #clay #agateware

I love making big vases, and apparently people love buying tiny vases, so I did a sort of miniature version of some of the larger ones I've made once. They look cute next to each other if nothing else. #pottery #clay #art #miniature #wheelthrownpottery

Back towards the end of last year, we were given a silver inch cutting while leaving a market. I was in love with the purple (though the plant keeper wasn't initially) so we propagated it in a mini-vase and then put it in a textured pot I made. #plants #pottery #ceramics #wheelthrownpottery #clay

Ngl, each firing for this piece was a substantial step down. I'm kinda mad. The sunlight is even carrying it in the last picture, it looks less contrast-y in person.

On top of pottery, I've also made some blacksmithing projects. This sword is my greatest feat in that category to date. And it's damascus steel (1084 & 15N20). Not super complex, but it's a sword, and it's mine, and I made it, and nobody can take that from me #womeninart #lgbtqartist #blacksmithing

My first finished agateware mug! It's already been conscripted by my gf, but I have others for future markets. Unfortunately I also had some busts in the same batch, likely due to a compatibility issue with one porcelain I used. #agateware #pottery #ceramics #clay #wheelthrownpottery

A big agateware pot is underway. This also literally isn't even it's final form, but a class was starting and I had to stop recording. #agateware #ceramics #porcelain #wheelthrownpottery #womeninart

Throwback to the time I hiked a ceramic jar I made up a mountain in winter for the asesthetic and the shot (at the end). You can see the rocky mountains in the background, including Long's peak/neníisótoyóú'u, which is on the back of the Colorado state quarter. #pottery #ceramic #art #mountains

Throwback to the time I took my pottery to the Denver Selfie Museum for a photoshoot. #pottery #agateware #ceramics #art

Trimming process for a porcelain agateware butter crock. These turned out so wonderfully and the contrast was so sharp. And yes, I was spraying water on this dry piece frequently during this, hence a bunch of trimmings sticking to me. #pottery #agateware #ceramics #art #porcelain #buttercrock

Quick video process of making/throwing a stoneware agateware oil bottle on the wheel. #potteryvideo #agateware #pottery #ceramics #stoneware

Glazing day for a lot of my agateware pieces. #agateware #pottery #clay #womeninart #porcelain

Back from when I made a very large planter. This was the largest single piece I've ever made in terms of clay weight. Flipping it when trimming was a very intense experience. #Pottery #planters #bigpottery #ceramics

I made a series of agateware vases with a few different techniques, using only black&white porcelain. The first one has been requisitioned for our own use at home, and probably won't be making it to another market. #agateware #pottery #porcelain #clay #ceramics

I've been making oil bottles lately, including some agateware ones. These fire to black and red, and the last picture is after a bisque fired. They're not done just yet, but should be glaze fired soon. #agateware #pottery #clay

Miniature vases I've been making out of scraps of agateware pieces. If you trim bits off during throwing, it's hard to re-use agateware. By making tiny things out of those trimmings, you can preserve the pattern/contrast. #agateware #pottery #porcelain #minipottery

A zebra agateware mug, and the model posing behind. Taken at the Denver zoo. Believe it or not, I didn't plan to take this picture but like 4 things aligned for me to have the vase on hand at the right moment. #agateware #pottery #porcelain

My process for making agateware. Wedging process + throwing.
