Spent the week in DC on the hill, then had a show yesterday. I needed some time in my happy place-making the pots. This new work is in porcelain for an upcoming wood kiln. #potter #ceramics #wheelthrown #clay #artist

A collection of objects from the farm share (small brown dropper bottles, soap, two muslin bags of tea, and black tubes of salve) sit on and in front of brown paper bags from the farm share and a booklet. There are flowers in the background and a globe lamp glows brightly on the side. The counter in a pink Formica.

A booklet being held with a mug of tea sitting on papers on an end table. The mug is matte pink/blue on the bottom with red ovals and a stripe of teal and purple with a brownish purple inside.

Home after an epic road trip and snuggled in with my @merakifarmacy.bsky.social CSA—y’all, this is so cozy and amazing. All my love to Lu for her work and energy she is putting into this awesomeness!

I so appreciate your art postings 💙💙💙

I have been quiet, the day job has been busy lately-I work on civil rights and education policy. But I am slowly getting back to a space where I can create… this is a favorite mug second I got to keep for me 🤍 it’s the little things!

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

It is—but I keep telling myself we have to stand on what is right and it will be hard, but we’ll win and be on the right side of history in the long run…

Had a whoops and hit the edge, so away we go. #crunchy #potter #clay #caramic #potterfail #asmr

The beginnings of what I am tentatively calling: Otter Venus of the Lamar Valley. Modeled after the Dresden Venus (Titian/Giorgione, 1510-11) and Venus of Urbino (Titian, 1534)—but with the fabulous otter from @altyellonatpark.org. It’s always rough at this stage, but will start to come together.

This continues to be illegal-most of the actions have been. When the bench is packed with loyalists, we’ll see if they uphold their oath of office or bend to the political pressure they are supposedly above.

We strongly urge you not to resign and recommend seeking legal counsel!

Need to get back at it. I have taken a long pause after the holiday crush. These are a solid favorite, and a reboot of my college senior show work. More exploration to come.

Oh no!! Sending positive vibes for an easy fix!

Set of three matte, off white oil bottles for cooking with gold spouts with an attached spout cover. They are arranged in. A triangle formation on a white background.

I mostly make bright things—but I also love a good neutral! This flock of oil bottles was a special order for a sweet friend to gift for the holidays. That’s the biggest endorsement I could ask for! #clay #functionalceramics #potter #oilbottle #shopsmall #shophandmade #artisan #statecollege

You got some beautiful pieces out. The tiny crystals on that first one!!

For those of you on my insta, this isn’t new, but bringing some of that content here for your viewing pleasure! #clay #potter #rainbowmug #ceramicart #handmade

Thank you!!

Handmade round utensil holder that is off white with a rainbow drop pattern at the top edge on a white background with three wooden spoons and a metal whisk inside.

A rounded hand thrown coffee mug with handle that is turquoise as a base color with a drippy rainbow at the rim on a while background.

A hand thrown cylinder mug on a white background. It is bright yellow with a rainbow drip pattern at the rim.

A hand thrown stemless wineglass that is a soft white on the bottom, bright blue inside and has a blue drip pattern cascading from the lip of the pot.

Uploading some of my #pottery here! This is one of my two lines of rainbow work. All are made from start to finish by me in my home studio. They are wheel thrown to start with and meticulously glazed one at a time!

Hi! PA based potter here! I would love to be added to the list!

When making ceramics, they’re not all wins… luckily clay is recyclable! A little crunchy #asmr for your morning enjoyment! #clay #ceramics #ceramicart #potter #artist #happyvalley #statecollege

Thanks! The anemones and mermaids got me at the fabric store!

I most definitely will. I am debating what background to use!!

Ooh, this may be a good reference photo for my painting class this weekend!

Hi #quiltsky! While this isn’t my usual kind of quilt, this is for a very special baby, and I just pulled it off the frame.

That’s why I am here… I was yelling into a void there-too much misinformation. It’s not hard to check, yet critical thinking skills are missing!

That first full paragraph is so fundamental. And we need more beauty in this world.

YES! I love that this is an option here (I am a quilter and a potter and really believe that this is so so essential)!

Love this!! And this action shot is awesome!

I am a potter/quilter/artist, gardener, fur parent, and more. I have way too many interests and not enough time. As I start to be present in this space and open it to others this space for me is about inclusion, equity, and compassion. I hit the character limit, so more details there later.
