Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis): This European, North African & Asian species of Kingfisher has a wingspan of 25cm (9.8in). They nest in burrows close to lake edges or in riverbanks and defend their feeding territories from other kingfishers. Super photo taken by Crestyl K. in the UK. #kingfisher

I got the shelving unit up, my kiln furniture is all here, started organizing the bits and bobs I got as part of the estate sale with my kilns and I have SO MANY stilts!!! All shapes and sizes, plus MOLDS for most of them to make more!!! #pottersofbluesky #comingtogether #organizing #realstudio

Every so often, I make a dish that gets me pondering what life would have been like had I accepted that sous chef position back in Portland. This tomato soup is one of those, the bowl and plate are two more 🤣 #roastpepper #tomatosoup #homecookedmeal

Seeking arts/natural sciences professionals! Would you be interested in getting a sneak peek at my upcoming paper art book through Page Street Publishing (dist. through Macmillan) that centers on endangered moths/butterflies, and be willing to provide a short endorsement? #sciart #entomology #art

Haha thank you! I need to go an take photos of the display but this is the piece. It’s a mace made from bone china, ultra-high temp experimental ceramic, jesmonite and platinum. It was for their 100th year.

I have just been informed the ceramic project I led for the city is now on display in Gladstone pottery museum where the throwdown is held. So that’s exciting. ☺️

The process video is up on YouTube, super happy with these and can't wait to add the color! #pottersofbluesky #handbuilt #throwdown #makealong #challenge #mushroom #bookends

youtu.be/9Bgx9G0eUq4?... Episode 2 of Great Pottery Throwdown make-along challenge! Slab building a pair of bookends, and I'm pretty pleased with how they came together. #pottersofbluesky #throwdown #challenge #makealong #slabbuilt #handmade #bookends #mushrooms

#Epstein #EpsteinFiles

I'm too excited for how this project turned out to wait until tomorrow's full video, so here's a little sneak peek! #pottersofbluesky #throwdown #makealong #episode2 #bookends #slabbuilt

The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting “show me your papers” stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens. Their real “party values” are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out. Remember this.

When I don't wanna decide what to watch, I roll some dice and watch something random. There are apparently pigs that go swimming in the Bahamas, and this documentary asks the question, "Do sharks eat those pigs?"

youtu.be/JAXFCknHSsY?... Technical difficulties have this post in the early hours *after* the second episode rather than before, but I made a soup set and I'm exited about it! #greatpotterythrowdown #makealong #challenge #soup #lotr #pottersofbluesky

Ok, finished up the design for my Throwdown inspiration set, and I am just so incredibly excited with how this turned out! I'll be posting my make-along videos on Sundays, and everything will hopefully be fired together at the end of the season! #pottersofbluesky #greatpotterythrowdown #makealong

Niche geology-potter content… a little three piece columnar basalt sculpture. Wild clay with a bunch of coarse nepheline syenite from Arkansas (late Cretaceous) wedged in. Hopefully the feldspars will melt out a bit in the wood kiln. They’re manganese bearing so I’m hoping for some dark streaks

TDS is the biggest load of gaslighting bullshit I've ever heard. Trump acts like a tyrant/toddler/fascist/lunatic and it's everyone else with the problem if they don't go along? Get the fuck out of here with that. It's a tactic that only works if we accept it. HE is fucked up, not us.

So, my best friend introduced me to an entirely new YouTube rabbit hole. For those of you who were also unaware, ARMORED MMA is a Thing. And it's a GLORIOUS thing indeed 🤣 Highly recommend. #armor #history #nerd #mma #wrestling #nichesport #larpbros

Kicking off watching the new season of Great Pottery Throwdown by killing the bottle of New Year prosecco in a sippy cup mimosa! #pottersofbluesky #greatpotterythrowdown #mimosa #huzzah #newseason #challenges

Statement from she who should have been our President.

Can someone please just assassinate him already? I mean for reals, not some poor quality production stunt from his own PR team. Someone halfway competent. Heck, even his own team if they're so wildly incompetent it actually happens this time.

Some of my favorite shots from 2025 Gardens Aglow!

Ending the year with another batch of reclaim in the works, ready to begin 2026 able to fire away! May all our ventures see meaningful growth and satisfaction in the coming year. #HappyNewYear #pottersofbluesky #smallbusiness #makers #artists #everyone #prosperity #satisfaction #progress

I was thinking about what gifts people used to give to readers (besides gift editions of famous poets' work and illustrated histories of wars and such), and while I was thinking about it, somebody brought a book to the counter.... (1/10)

I LOVE a pit fire. 🔥 #art #clay #ceramics #potter #pottery #slipcast #artsky #womanartist

Who has some good recommendations for craft booth tents and things? I'm not going to use Amazon. I'd like to find something like nice canvas maybe, something that doesn't look like a portable garage from the hardware store. #pottersofbluesky #makers #market #ideas #renfaire #boothsetup #supplies

Merry Christmas!! 🎄

youtube.com/shorts/RANe_... Nothing like the magic of the holidays! My kiln is running, and I am officially back in business! Shout out to Tim from Skutt for walking me through how to use an analog kiln! #pottersofbluesky #holidaymagic #backinbusiness #gnomes #kiln #pottery

Let's be honest, has there ever, in the history of the world, been anything as timelessly perfect as The Muppets? Literally 70 years, and they're still not just known, but RELEVANT in pop culture. Sure, Christmas Carol and Treasure Island/

Good morning from Vermont. The light comes in slow, the way a pot takes shape under steady hands. Winter has a way of reminding us that creation and quiet go hand in hand.

Yeah so it doesn’t matter how much time and personal energy you put into promting the AI to generate your fill-in-the-blank “creative” thing, it’s still theft of creative property. Heists can take a lot of time and planning, but that doesn’t make a thief a businessperson. It makes them a thief.

for you, some bright energy and beauty 🤍🕊️ . . #ArtistsOnBlueSky #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography #WomensArtBlueSky  #PhotographersOnBlueSky #Flowers #OregonPhotographer #Oregon #holidays

A happy solstice to everyone, may the returning sunlight bring peace and prosperity back with it! #seasonsgreetings #happyholidays #solstice #sunlight

My first usable mug from my pottery class. I'm so excited to learn wheel techniques next semester. "semester" (i am not in school -- it's such a low key class after work). Mad props to my husband for shuffling schedules with me so I can do silly shit like make stuff with clay.

youtu.be/92gMiFB-2EI?... I did a fun little video on how I made the gnomes! #pottersofbluesky #funproject #holiday #crafting #gnomes #handmade #whimsy #kilngods

Well, in my enthusiasm to finally get firing, I'm discovering a whole bunch more stuff I need to actually get back to production 😅 Mostly the right cones, and more shelves. Who wants to help out with some pre-orders so I can get what I need? #pottersofbluesky #soclose #yetsofar #parts #ceramic #kiln

This is Copper. He's trying to make you a fancy Italian meal. Just needs help tracking down some sauce and meatballs, then dinner will be served. 13/10 (TT: spy_v13)

This is what Presidential Leadership looks like at the time of an unfathomable American tragedy. #BarackObama
