A little ladybug perched on a leaf 🥰 Black underglaze wiped back Jade celadon Various underglazes under a clear glaze on the lady 🐞 #pottersofbluesky #pottery #handmade #handmadeincanada #naturalpottery

Made a big and little version of this for the husband’s last birthday. He uses the big one every day 🥰 Badge: manganese wash full strength wiped back Glazes: winter wood, power turquoise #pottersofbluesky #pottery #mug #handmade #handmadeincanada #canadianpottery #happyhusband

Dammit dammit dammit! S crack. I’m going to glaze it anyway and hope it’s doesn’t go all the way thru in the glaze firing. I had been thinking of some gold too, but I think a third firing would be pushing it. Dammit! #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #rainbows #tinycrack #fingerscrossed

Happy Pride! As always, no filter. That’s way too technical and complicated. I’d rather argue with the kiln gods. Natural light is making my rainbow dishes look neon tho and I’m not super duper happy about it. Pearl white x2 S&C stripes #pottery #pottersofbluesky #rainbow #happypride #panproud

Little dishes make me happy. This glaze combo makes my hand hurt though. Obsidian x3 all over Dots inside only seaweed x2 Inside only smoky merlot x2 over dots #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #handmade #tinydishes #painfulglazing #worthit

Spent some time this am trying to take pottery pics while this angry git yelled at me. #potterypics #amgrysquirrel #pleasestopyelling

What do we think of this glaze? I like the crystals. I like green. But I feel underwhelmed. I was hoping for a more dramatic rim effect. Maybe thicker blobby application of the manganese? Manganese wash full strength x2 top cm Smoke x3 all #pottery #potterymug #handmade #handmadepottery #mug

I hated this bowl. Gave it to a friend and they took this pic and now I see what they saw! #muddywatersindeed #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #blueskypotters #wheelthrown #handmade

Things I love: Cats Cat roller Rainforest and Storm celadon These combine all three! #pottery #handmade #handbuilt #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #blueskypotters #cats #meow #littlepotterydishes

The very first mug I ever made that I liked. It’s in my studio holding tools, I still love my fat kitty mug #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #potterymug #catmug #wheelthrown #handmade #fatcat #mug

The glaze on this makes me so happy. It’s just a wee thing, an ashtray with a debowler spike in the middle. We used to imbibe, and I liked smaller ashtrays because they forced you to empty them often. Glazes: ancient copper, snow #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky

I was hoping for more reds at the time, but now I’m okay with the result. That’s key, if I hate something, I put it in a cupboard for a few months and then when I rediscover I’ve let go of expectations and usually like it #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #blueskypotters #comebacktoitlater

More fun colours! I really love the flow with the green leaves. Glazes: snow, pearl white, jade celadon, marigold celadon, fairy rose #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #blueskypotters #potteryplanter

My favourite mistake 🎶 This is 2x ancient jasper under 2x ancient copper, fired to a hot cone 6. Craters. Moonscape. Un-usable. I think it’s too thick, as the last time this combo turned out great. The craters happened on all clay bodies. #pottery #ceramics #potterymystery #pottersofbluesky

Old work! This pic is years old, I’m very proud of how all these turned out given how new I was! lol and yep, that’s a cookie permanently fused to the bottom of the top one. It actually ended up pretty cute! #pottery #ceramics #potteryofbluesky #beginner #peacockglaze

Last summer I visited a local lady with a stunning garden. We toured and she gave me leaves from everything we thought would look cool. The impressions have been sitting in a damp box until yesterday. I’m doing something like this, except adding critters #pottery #ceramics #leaves #handbuilt

Honey flux always goes peach for me. It worked here (bottom third), but I haven’t been able to get that gorgeous creamy white that I want. I use much more pearl white these days. Open to tips and /or advice! #pottery #ceramics #wheelthrown #pottersofbluesky #pink #potteryvase

My favourite WIP! The colours will get deeper, this is almost-bone-dry greenware. You can’t see the best part well, there’re little foxglove flowers scattered around. This will wait a while before firing, the glazes and underglaze technique is in R&D #pottery #ceramic #pottersofbluesky #barnowl

I told you about my Mom. Best cheerleader ever. Here’s an example 💕 For the record, she has a house FULL of pottery already 🤷‍♀️ #pottery #ceramics #cheerleadermom #loves #pottersofbluesky #thanksmom #biggestfan

Super beginner pottery! My first time using botanicals, first time doing the underglaze inlay, and first time hand building a dish. #pottery #ceramics #beginner #pottersofbluesky

Soft pastels and blended colours make my insides smile. This is the first try. A little too soft for me, but it’s just a starting point. Pearl white is magic! Glazes: pearl white, jade celadon, fairy rose, marigold celadon, snow celadon #pottery #pottersofbluesky #potteryplanter #ceramic

Iron lustre on its own is underrated, imo. #pottery #spoonrests #wheelthrown #ironlustre #pottersofbluesky

Baby Bean. Born prematurely in a shelter and immediately rejected by mama. I got her at ~12 hrs old. Touch and go for weeks. I firmly believe she actually did pass, Satan came up to get her, she cussed him out and he noped out of there. She’s.. opinionated. #pottery #cats #pottersofbluesky

My first effort at double walls. Loved the carving, totally messed it up with a crappy glaze job. It’s waiting for a refire, I’ll show if it comes out how I want #pottery #ceramics #doublewalls #wheelthrown #carved #clay

A little carving on a birthday surprise for my bestie!! Firing was a bit tricky.. she loads the kiln. When I try to reach the bottom my feet stick into the air. Hot tip: coyote black underglaze needs at least 2 GOOD coats to look consistent. Recommend 3. #pottery #ceramics #clay #dragons

Speaking of pottery cats: This is Bean. Bean likes boxes, rescueing drowning sponges, stealing tools, and drinking glaze water. Bean is not allowed in the studio anymore. #pottery #potterycats #cat #ceramics #plainsman #catsarejerksandnotsmart #neonatalkittyreacue #ififitsisits #chaoskitty

Wall pockets!! Why wall pockets? Because cats are jerks. They used to steal my tools. I’ve got multiples of things because I gave up looking and just replaced whatever they hid. They have since lost studio privileges: drinking carcinogens. #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #cats #catsarejerks

Fun story. I fire at my amazing bestie’s. Her kiln is the big 1227 tho so we don’t fire often. I’ve been hoarding pieces for a lustre firing for a year. Literally, this is a wedding gift for a friend I glaze fired in March. “Each time you happen to me all over again” #pottery #ceramics #kilnit

I’ve made so many iterations of this pot. This particular lid was knocked off a shelf and broke. I have two more drying, they are personalized for my bestie’s amazing kid. They are thrown as an enclosed form, then trimmed and decorations added. #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #rainbows

I like this form. There’s finishing problems, but I’m a beginner. The question: how to glaze?? I’m at a loss. I kind of want a matte white body. But what to do with the stem and tendrils? Open to and soliciting opinions please 💕 #pottery #ceramics #handmade #stoneware #clay #pottersofbluesky

One of my all time favorites! #doublewalled #pottery #ceramics #art

Photographing pottery is not my love. Does not spark joy. My fav old platform account, kelseyceramics, has advice. It’s good advice, but I still have to take 1000 pics to get anything decent. This one.. it is what it is. #pottery #ceramics #handmade #stoneware #clay #wheelthrown #pottersofbluesky

Confession. I throw things out. Even once something is finished and nothing broke. I get this image of how i want it to turn out, and it’s different. So into the bin. This perfectly serviceable palette? Bin. I may have a problem. #pottery #ceramics #handmade #potterypalette #toohasty

Pottery lessons: 1. Patience. Absolutely nothing can be rushed 2. Don’t fall in love until after the final step Rule 2 often results from ignoring Rule 1. Sometimes clumsiness. Sometimes kiln gods. Whatever the reason, sh*t happens. A lot. #pottery #ceramics #handmade #broken #learnyourrules

My fav project so far. My first furball was a menace, notorious at the vet. 20 years later, the only vet he would tolerate got married, and his former tech is one of my besties and asked for presents for them. New glaze combos = many options in case of disasters #pottery #ceramics #weddingpresent
