yesterday we checked out TWO local festivals: Car Free Day and Picklefest! We didn't take home any pickles but at Car Free I got an adorable whale mug from @rookery-ceramics.bsky.social

Lantern housing is done, just gotta make the chimes now...

Here she is in all her chunky chihuahua glory #chihuahua #sculpture

Back in the bisque for this one #pottery #ceramics #vancouverpotter #illustration

Tiny urns ready for the kiln #pottery #ceramics #potter #ceramicart #urns #minipottery

Kiln ready

Another tree mug in progress 🌲 #pottery #ceramics #mug #tree

Finished this little chunky gal. Pray to the kiln gods for her. #pottery #ceramics #sculpture #dog #chihuahua

Pretty flipping pleased how this big ole teapot turned out #pottery #ceramics #potter #ceramicart #teapot

Very happy with how this arbutus mug came out #mug #arbutustree #bccoast

Gotta add some colour's to this beastie #teapot #wheelthrown

Saw a soup bowl someone made with a little house on a hill in the middle of it. I like the cozy feel of eating cozy comfort food with a little friend. #ceramics #vancouverpotter #soupbowl

Doing some illustration on this mug, now I gotta paint some arbutus colour's #arbutustree #wheelthrown #pottery

I think I’m becoming a Bill Burr fan

Birdhouse is up and ready for friends 🐦 #birdhouse #ceramics

Made a big ole planter with some rainy day vibes #ceramics

Made a mug shape I'm not familiar with for a commission, and I had a few extras. They looked so much like tree trunks I had to make it happen. Very happy with how they turned out, now I just have to figure out how to glaze them. #pottery #mugs #trees

Phone is back up and running so I can get back to sharing my creations with you. #pottery

Made this little guy from clay my studio mate brought back from Lasqueti Island. It's not great for throwing but it's nice for these little fish guys. . . . . . #ceramics #fish #charms

Finally got around to putting my animation skills to use...

This lovely fermenting jar is soon to be on its way home. Pro-tip: when drawing circles use a compass, the top is sgraffitto and I used a compass, bottom is Mishima and carved sans compass... #pottery #wheelthrown #fermentingjar

Took some nice pictures of this little forest teapot 🍄 #pottery #ceramics #teapot #ivy

Tiny tiny little pot. Very happy with the little handles on this guy. Thinking of making something bunch and turning the into zipper pulls. #tinypottery #pottery

I'll never not love using local natural materials. This corded grass smalls so nice. #foraging #ceramics #cordage

This little teapot is out of the kiln ❤️ #pottery #teapot #foragedhandle #driftwood

Love a good ring on a bowl

These beasties are on their way to the kiln. Each one is a glaze experiment, with any luck the gods won't punish me for my hubris and instead reward me for my bravery. #pottery #ceramics #glazetest #glazeday

This is a water-sealed fermenting jar ready for the kiln. When not in use the lid can be used as a bowl 🍜 #ceramics #wheelthrown #wheelthrownpottery #fermentingjar

Clay test from Lasqueti Island on the left and a control plainsman clay on the right. Quite a bit of shrinkage and loss of density, but it's a lovely colour and I look forward to making something with it. It's not suitable for throwing but maybe some hand building. What should I make? #wildclay

Teapot in the works, I always throw two lids and two spouts just incase things go sideways while trimming and assembling #ceramics #pottery #wheelthrown #wip #teapot #inprogress

More clay tests! This time from the sunshine coast! I don't have a lot of hope for this one surviving to cone 6 but we'll give it a shot anyway. #claytest #wildclay #ceramics

Finished up this fellow last night and now he's headed for the kiln

This little cup came out of the kiln. I hate the handle, unbalanced and difficult to hold. But it's cute regardless.

Very excited about this little wild clay test. Harvested from Victoria and fired to cone 6. I've got about a pound of it left. What should I make? #wildclay #pottery #ceramics #claytest #cone6

Instagram has decided to lock me out so I'll be slowly uploading my work here over the next little bit

Threw this fellow today. #pottery #ceramics #wheelthrowing
