Closeups of the new pieces! #pottery #ceramics #handmadepottery #shophandmade

I’m going to ride this flaming pony of a year to success & prosperity & I hope U do too! I am making some pieces w/ new patterns & textures to capture the energy of imagination & creativity. These 4 pcs will be finished in my current making cycle & we’ll check them out & see what we like best soon!!

Before we get our scheduled 16 inches of snow

The final phase.

For anyone who is a creative who ships their work, in case you didn't know. Boycott Uline:

And just like that! But really, the full glaze kiln load cycle is around 28-30 hours when it’s this packed from lid closed to lid open and I don’t even wait for it to get to room temp. #pottery #ceramics

Happy Blessed Imbolc! Today would be my Gran’s 107th birthday. Also is the anniversary of the death of my favorite outlaw ( my MIL’s longtime partner, they never got married.) It always tickled Tom to be called that. Weird, bittersweet day. I’m happy to be heading toward spring tho.

Hmmmm. Glaze kiln took two hours longer than last time. Granted, I bought two more levels worth of shelves (& I should’ve gotten 3) so there’s definitely more work in there than last time, so hopefully it doesn’t mean my elements are starting to fail. #pottery #ceramics #elementsareexpensive

I love this.

I think that the regime has forgotten how much "FUCK you, you can't tell me what to do" lives in the DNA of Americans. People are feeling that wake up inside of themselves. I don't always like us, but we can be real pains in the ass, and I do love that about us.

Today would be a good day to hold Pam Bondi in contempt of congress. #releasetheepsteinfiles

Because the guy who took a $50K bribe is a better option than GI N@zi?

Today would be a good day to impeach Kristi Noem.

TikTok would not let this video be seen today.

Today would be a good day to tear down the Regime. It is time for a country wide #GeneralStrike

Today would be a good day for the Dems to start acting like an opposition party not helpless ninnys.

Today would be a good day for the Dems to stop acting like the status quo has any value.

I got my second shingles vax yesterday. The first one in October was a cake walk. I should’ve anticipated that I wouldn’t get that lucky twice in a row. 😖🤕😵‍💫

Bernie is once again, the canary in the coal mine. I wonder if we'll ever learn to listen to him? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Pretty sure it’s still Caturday

Recently, with the Powerball being so high, I started to ponder what I would do with that kind of money. Beyond paying off all debt, setting up a trust for my kid, investing in my house and yard, and even doing all of my dream projects - I would still have so much money left over.

The smoothing creates a nice border around the edge of each piece, compressing the clay and the sharp cut corners of the scallops. It takes about 5-ish minutes for each piece but reduces my loss rate quite a bit. Lots less cracking and sharp edges. #pottery #ceramics #handmadepottery #shophandmade

Several notes for next "candid" shots of my pots in use: 1. This glaze color and that table don't do anything for each other. 2. Use a tripod. 3. Dining room light not the best source of light - TOO BRIGHT! 4. Lego Flowers need more zhuzhing. Anyway, here's my pots in use for appetizers! #ceramics

Happy Solstice and Blessed Yule. May the returning of the sun bring you joy, peace, and prosperity.

As a GenXer it can’t be understated how influential Rob Reiner has been culturally. His moral compass never wavered. His and Michelle’s passing is a goddamned tragedy. Godspeed.

Glazing requires a different skill set than making with clay, and it also requires a different approach for ea glaze color because they behave differently. My first glaze color is kind of a pain, so I do it first while I’m still fresh and patient. #pottery #ceramics #handmadepottery #shophandmade

The bisque load didn’t bite me in the ass, but there’s still time for the glaze load #pottery #ceramics #handmade #pottersofbluesky

This jar found its forever home yesterday. I so hope it brings so much joy! #pottery #ceramics #handmadepottery #shophandmade

I’m thrilled with my VistaPrint order. The postcards came out perfectly! The QR code goes to a page on my website that gives information and care instructions.

While I’m working away in the studio and completely blowing off making content for the socials, my lil buddy and his sisters nap the afternoon away. Life of a Potter’s dog. Then when it’s time to stop he comes in for a boop and a cuddle. #itsadogslife #pottersdog #studiolife

What is your favorite language learning app? I’ve tried Duolingo, Speak, and Rosetta Stone. They are all AI powered, which is ☹️and all around $100 a year. What do you like? What has worked for you?

These five colors did not make it to the recent “this or that?“ Series because they’re super stable and their colors don’t change from one temperature to another. These are durable and predictable. An important aspect to a Potter‘s palette. #handmadepottery #shophandmade #ceramics #pottery

Help me decide my giveaway! #pottery #ceramics #handmadegifts #handmadepottery

I don't envy historians of the future. So much propaganda and mis/dis-information to sift through to document what ACTUALLY happened.

I was just making more of these, and I think it’s a good example of why potters are delulu. We start and end in completely different places with the same pieces. #pottery #ceramics #handmadegifts #handmadepottery

At least for now, this is the last this or that. Same as before same clay same bisque firing same glaze. One glaze firing was cooler/hotter than the other. #pottery #ceramics #handmadegifts #handmadepottery

Just got my first wholesale order!! Whoot!🎉

I have a high filtration bag and filter on my shopvac or I would never do this in a ceramic studio. My making cycle makes a mess and it takes real effort to clean up, especially when I’m in a new space that’s not perfectly worked out yet. Cleaning and resetting. #pottery #ceramics #studiopractice

Same glaze - two firings and a lovely antique gradient. Which do you like best? #pottery #ceramics #handmadegifts #handmadepottery

Today’s “this or that” features an blue lavender glaze. This one also had very different reactions to the cooler/hotter firing. Which one do you like best? #pottery #ceramics #handmadegifts #handmadepottery

Here’s another!

Let’s play a game of “this or that?” Each plate is exactly the same. Same clay same glaze they were fired in the same bisque. The difference is one was fired hotter/cooler than the other. Which one do you like best?

Assemblages. #handmadegifts #handmadepottery #pottery #ceramics

The computer part of being a self-employed potter is almost done. But you you lucky person can go look at all the new work right now.🎉 Link in bio #pottery #ceramics #handmadegifts #pottersofbluesky
