After several hectic months of moving, we are happy to be settled and back in Central Oregon! Now to make a new pottery studio 💪

A very Eugene mini protest I ran across today 🦋 #nomonarchs #protest #f47

"The unjust distribution of goods persists, creating a situation of social sin that cries out to Heaven and limits the possibilities of a fuller life for so many of our brothers." - Cardinal Bergoglio, aka Pope Francis, 2007.

Rhodys are starting to bloom this weekend in Oregon 😊 #pacificnorthwest #gardening #nowthatswhaticallspringtime

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

Isn’t it funny how making pottery inevitably leads to buying more pottery from other potters with different styles? Just got this bowl from Spiral House Pottery at the #eugenesaturdaymarket #potterssupportingpotters #pottersofbluesky #potterysky

And this, Rocky Top, is one of many reasons why you are no longer “home sweet home” to me. #mostembarrassingstateintheunion

This little succulent pot turned out so cute! Glazed with Mayco Wintergreen Matte and Lavender Mist. Now if anyone has tips for getting this fake flower off my cactus safely, I’m all ears 😅 #potterysky #pottersofbluesky #maycoglaze

You know it’s spring when my toddlers start bringing me mini bouquets (of weeds, mostly) and I get to break out the tiny vases 🥰

Trying out a new style of bee water cups where I’ll attach a rod after the final firing instead of hand forming a base. Lined up and waiting for the bisque

Fun little make, I’ll add some handles to the next batch 🕯️ Great glaze combo, but note for potters: there was some slight crazing where these glazes overlapped on my clay #potterysky #pottersofbluesky

It’s wild violet season! Made some violet syrup today My pottery studio is currently home to some baby 🐓 so I’m finding other ways to stay busy

I know I shouldn’t cry over spilled milk, but can I cry over this? 🥚

Question for my fellow #potters: I’m testing my first travel cup, and it is a bit warm, bordering on uncomfortable. How do you personally combat this? Add a sleeve? Thicker walls? Some other mods I’m not thinking of? #potterysky #pottersofbluesky #coffee #feeltheburn

Worry stones have become such a fun thing to make with my handbuilding clay scraps. Also just good for all the worrying we’re doing right now tbh 💙 #pottery #pottersofbluesky #potterysky #muchanxiety

Before having my premie twins, I ran a wonderful nonprofit that coordinated USFS volunteers. We had to have volunteers because the USFS was SO UNDERFUNDED. This is absolutely ridiculous. Here’s a lovely pot I received back when I was also a USFS volunteer. #pottery #OURpubliclands

Ok #pottersofbluesky y’all were not playin with the Iron Lustre and Oatmeal glaze combos 🤯💜

The sun was barely up, but I couldn’t wait another minute. Wish I was a Brit so I could say I’m “chuffed” with this kiln load! #pottersofbluesky

Can’t wait! #kilnunloading #pottersofbluesky

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Throwback to one of the first ceramic pieces I ever made, a chunky cat rattle for a class that I modeled after my cat. He did NOT like it. #potterysky #betterlucknexttime

Watching our senators with so much pride tonight. Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota has been directly quoting her constituents, making their voices literally heard. And she just said, “I guess there is a silver lining here, regular people are reading the constitution.”

Got myself a handle extruder this year. Easy to clean and oh so satisfying to use. Now my handles look better than my pots 😅 #worthit #potterysky

Just a reminder that your worst pot may be someone’s favorite pot. ☕️ This over-trimmed too small mug that somehow spins 🤷‍♀️ my toddlers LOVE it #onepotterstrash #potterysky

Shoutout to Nuremberg I hear #courtroom600 is lovely this time year. Any chance America could borrow it once we get this sorted? #politicalsky Protests happening nationwide TODAY

Everyone can take a stand in some way. Everyone can do something. Fabulous example from the Current Events section at a Barnes and Noble #booksky #amilaughingorcrying From @jwfarleyauthor on TikTok:

A message to Elon Musk’s staffers: Your names are known, and America will ensure you never get another job again.

Some handbuilt bee watering cups that I can’t wait to put in my garden this spring 🌼 🐝 🖌️: Amaco Poppy, stroke and coat, and little Spectrum sunrise on top #potterysky #beecups #gardenart #pottery

Finally got back in my little home studio today with some glaze inspiration 🏳️‍⚧️ drying now and firing later this week! Things will get better. We are fighting this. #pottery #potterysky #howdoievenhashtag #neverusedtwitter🤷‍♀️

#potterysky Have any fellow potters had this happen? I am struggling to find others that have had a similar experience with these cones in a manual kiln

This petition for impeachment has 177k signatures and needs 200k to be sent in on Tuesday when our reps are back in session. Can folks pass this around? Idc if you are #red or #blue this message is for you 🇺🇸

Like many creative folks, I am just not feeling inspired and haven’t been in my pottery studio since the inauguration. Instead I am channeling my anxious energy into garden prep, so look who decided to do some quality control today 👀
