Thank you! Its a Mayco Alabaster base with Amaco Seaweed around the top.

More bowls! Balancing my expectations with the end result is always an interesting process. But I think Im getting better at appreciating what I make.

It’s so refreshing to read a story about a bad ass middle aged woman/infamous pirate going on epic adventures. Please read this book! It is a beautiful audiobook for those who prefer to listen.

This one was free. It doesn’t actually get plugged in, so it doesn’t need to work. Good luck finding one. Im so excited to inspire someone else with this idea, because it has been so helpful for me.

The bottom fridge part is where I keep my works in progress at a leather hard stage. The freezer is where my finished stuff goes. It takes a long time to get to bone dry in there. Sometimes I leave the door open to speed up the process. But I rarely have cracked pieces!

When the freezer fills up, a trip to Georgies is in my near future.

Brilliant idea! I will try that next time!

There was a moment I thought it might bee too much. But I managed 😅

An old beer fridge I got for free in craigslist. Now it serves as a damp box for my pottery to stay leather hard while Im working on it.

Yes, one class and I knew I would never stop. The pure joy of making something.

A girl can’t resist a good sticker!

Its my favorite place to put stickers.

Not even a heatwave can stop me from throwing pots in the garage.

I always say “my big bowls bring all the boys to the yard”

Creative glaze layers!

Nope. Not at this time. But hopefully someday.

I couldn’t imagine watching that! Nothing I make is perfect 😅

The magic of layering and luck

I talk about pottery feeling like magic sometimes. These big bowls sure did turn out magical though!

I don’t sell (yet!) because Im a full time working mom with young kids. Making enough pieces to sell is a bit outside my capabilities. But hopefully someday!

Thank you! I use an extruder, because pulling handles is such a pain. And in pottery, if it doesn’t bring joy, I don’t do it 😅

Staying up till 1am looks different in your late 30s. Throwing big bowls is my favorite though.

My faves for creating the “magic”. I love depth in my glazes.

Just a hobby right now, but maybe someday!

Thanks ☺️

It feels good to have physical evidence of your progress. I am so happy with how these mugs turned out.

I’ve been on a pottery hiatus. Enjoying the summer with family and lots of yard work. But I have many things to glaze, and so Im back at it!

Another pitcher! My best one to date. My pottery skill gains are directly correlated to the levels of serotonin I’m desperately seeking to cope these days.

More lamps in the making. #pottery is my literal therapy these days.

I do not. For now, this is just a hobby I love and a way to destress. Maybe a shop someday. We’ll see!
