Today, I sent a letter to my MP in support of legislation to amend Canada’s assisted dying law and make advance requests for MAID legal. If you want to send your own letter, visit @dyingwithdignity.ca : www.dyingwithdignity.ca/advocacy/all...

I’m teaching this surface decorating workshop at the Kawartha Potters Guild in Peterborough On, at the end of this month. There is still space to register. #horuseyepottery #kawarthapottersguild #workshops #mischima #buncheon #canadianpotter #kawarthaartist #trysomethingnew

Hanging out today at the Kawartha Potters Guild, minding the shop (Peterborough, ON, Canada). It is much cooler in here than outdoors, so stop by, cool off and look for that perfect hand made gift! #kawarthapottersguild #horuseyepottery #handmade #buylocal #potteryguilds #giftideas

If you see this, post your blue art.

Bottom half of the glaze kiln unload. Most of this is heading to Trillium this coming weekend. For those going, you’ll find me camped with Darc. Cash is preferred please. #horuseyepottery #mysca #historicalreproduction #trilliumwar #kilnunload #canadianpotter

Currently prepping and setting up for my class today. There are still a couple of places left if you’d like to join us. We start at 1pm. #horuseyepottery #kawarthapottersguild #workshops #planning #mandalas #sgraffito #ilovetoteach #peterborough

More shelves of work for Trillium war. Realized today that I have 3 kiln loads time left before I need to be done. Oye. No pressure or anything. Sigh. #horuseyepottery #mysca #historicalreproduction #trilliumwar #ealdormere #canadianpotter #kawarthaartist

I know folks like a kiln load so (because I forgot to take pics of all the shelves) here is what I got. Should be done in a couple hours. #horuseyepottery #mysca #trilliumwar #ealdormere #canadianpotter #kawarthaartist #historicalreproduction #kilnload

Upside down black clay goblets drying for bisque firing. These are always pretty popular with the re-enactment crowd. #horuseyepottery #mysca #ealdormere #trilliumwar #canadianpotter #historicalreproduction #kawarthaartist

Working hard today trying to get enough stock ready for the SCA Trillium War event taking place the end of this month. Almost everything shown is intended for the sale and those that are are all historical reproductions. #horuseyepottery #scaealdormere #trilliumwar #historicalreproduction

There are still a few spaces left in this workshop. If you are in the Peterborough area, you can register online or by contacting our Administrator. #horuseyepottery #kawarthapottersguild #workshop #sgraffito

Getting some reproduction work ready for War of the Trillium SCA event taking place at the end of June. These are Saintonge pieces. #horuseyepottery #SCA #trilliumwar #historicalreproduction #canadianpotter #kawarthaartist #pshclay

I’ll be teaching this class at the Kawartha Potters Guild in Peterborough, ON, on June 21st. This planning skill is very useful for any repeated patterns, but we will focus on planning mandala type designs. Any surface decoration technique will work. #horuseyepottery #kawarthapottersguild #design

I’ll précis this with the comment that I have never been a glass half full kinda girl. I very much appreciate that many of my friends are expressing relief and even joy at last night’s (not finished) results. Now I see a Canada that has become more divided, and possibly, less willing to listen.

Some commission sgraffito decorated pieces waiting for the bisque fire. #horuseyepottery #sgraffito #commissions #ilovecarving #mugs #canadianpotter #kawarthaartist #handmade

So I just got a message from Bluesky this morning stating that they will have verification checkmarks to help identify ‘trusted’ sources. This sounds awfully Twitter to me. Perspectives?

I am really happy to hear of all the advance polls, at least in Ontario, that the wait is a minimum of 30 min. And many people are being super patient. I think we’ll be going on Monday, and I’m hoping against hope that this indicates a much larger voter amount than for many years. #elbowsup

Part of a kiln unload. Pretty good firing overall, but deadlines are making me twitchy….. #horuseyepottery #glazefire #canadianpotter #kawarthaartist #ihatedeadlines

Was trying to get some pieces glazed today, when a posse of Hydro trucks (not all from Ontario - thank you QC) came down the road and parked in front. Then the power went out again. This time to fix the downed power line down the road. #horuseyepottery #thanksonhydro #glazing #icestorm2025

That was a very not restful sleep listening to trees exploding and falling outside. This is the worst ice storm in our area in the 30ish years we’ve lived here. #horuseyepottery #icestormontario2025 #mypoortrees #whatamess

First bisque kiln of 2025. An in progress pic of me loading it up. #horuseyepottery #canadianpotter #kawarthaartist #pottersofbluesky #kilnload #bisquefire #maythekilngodsbekind

Some lunch sized plates drying after slip trailing, waiting for their chance in the bisque fire. #horuseyepottery #greenware #sliptrailing #canadianpotter #kawarthaartist #plates #wheelthrown

In my other life, I’m also a musician/singer. This was my first concert since before Covid and it was a blast. The audience was amazing and engaged. Thanks to everyone who came. #ptbomusicscene #celticmusic #hardwoodcat #theskelligs #banishmisfortune

Post a picture of your pottery every day for 20 days - Day 20: this piece sits in my studio. It was intended to be the inner pot of a double walled vessel that didn’t work out. #horuseyepottery #canadianpotter #kawarthaartist #wheelthrown #grecianinfluence

Post a picture of your pottery every day for 20 days - Day 19: It is one of the first historical reproductions I made for me. #horuseyepottery #historicalreproduction #persianpottery #canadianpotter #pottersofbluesky #kawarthaartist #plates #wheelthrown #painted

Post a picture of your pottery every day for 20 days - Day 18: One of my favourite plates. The clay fumed gold in the sgraffito areas through some combination of the underglaze and glazes. Totally unintentional. #horuseyepottery #sgraffito #sliptrailing #plates #canadianpotter #kawarthaartist

In my other life, I sing and play a few instruments. I’m part of Hardwood Cat and would love to see anyone join us who would like to hear some celtic trad music this Sat (and for the songs we’ve mostly deviated from the usual.) #hardwoodcat #stpaddysday
