Sculpture of a bust of a woman who seems to be made of the earth, with a collar of carrot greens and hair of cabbage buns and curling plant tendrils.

A large purple highland cow sculpture, sitting like a dog on a plaid rug that is meadow-like and munching on some chartreuse greens with pink flowers.

My recently completed works for #portfolioday #ceramics #sculpture #pottersofbluesky

A large sculpture of a purple highland cow sitting down like a dog on a plaid throw rug with tassles, in pink and greens that resemble in some ways flowers and grass. The cow has a sweet face and is chomping on two dimensional pink flowers and chartreuse grass. On her horns, there rests two black and pink striped discs that can hold candles.

Ceramic bust of woman who embodies the rich earth and foliage of a garden, with purple and green cabbage buns nestled in neat rows, and green curled tendrils trailing down. She also has gently curled fern frond eyelashes and a green high, regal collar with carrot greens like etchings on its interior.

Detail shot of purple and green cabbage buns.

Detail shot of her eye, with gently curling fern frond eyelashes.

Been away for a minute but have some new works to share 🌱 #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture #handbuildersofbluesky

A hissing cat sculpture has a penny dropping into one side of their head and a ribbon of thoughts winding out of the other side, reading Care Resist Protect Persist Love.

Bisque fired sculpture of a woman's head, with cabbage buns, plant tendrils, and rows of dirt hair.

#WIP fresh out of bisque #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture #handbuildersofbluesky

An eerie blue and green kelpie (water horse) sculpture appears to be emerging from the black surface, its head and its tail in two separate pieces. The mouth is open and the mane and tail are flowing back.

New work, "Astride to a Watery Grave." Porcelain, underglaze, glaze, epoxy. #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture #handbuildersofbluesky

Five ceramic pieces each made by a different member of a group of friends. Top L to R: three white trillium leaves emerging out of a little green pot, an orange brittle starfish resting in a coral-like shaped small ocean blue pot, a little dodo bird pot with tiny plants starting to grow in it. Bottom L to R: a purple, red, and goldish brown turtle in motion, a green shelled reddish brown turtle that is a lidded pot (shell lifts off).

The weekend before inauguration day, some friends and I went to the mountains. I gave a mini handbuilding lesson and they embraced it with so much enthusiasm. Seeing the final pieces together brings me a lot of joy in these times 🤍 #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture #handbuildersofbluesky

A sculpture of a bunny in black clay. The bunny is scarred and curled up, with three white clay mushrooms growing out of its back.

Picture for the show at Queen City Clay titled Feathers Fins & Fur, juried by Sara Torgison, showing one of Sara's works of a hawk in flight (mounted to a wall) with four mice on a platform connected to the hawk by string.

White porcelain bisqued kelpie maquette, in two pieces such that it looks like the head and tail are rising out of the table surface.

Porcelain bisqued kelpie maquette, in two pieces such that it looks like the head and tail are rising out of the table surface. Greens and blues in underglaze have begun to be applied in an overlapping way to create a soft effect.

She made it out of bisque! Surface treatment in progress. #WIP #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture #handbuildersofbluesky

Aw!!🤍

Appreciate the kind words!

Thanks 🥰

A small puffer fish with an overbite made out of black clay, propped up to dry.

The cute part of a #WIP that I am playing around with 💙🌊 #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture

Thanks so much!

Greenware small planter, with rugged rock like surface and a small dragon perched on a ledge and clutching the top rim of the cup

A little spontaneous collab cup with @dragonsweyrpottery (IG), I added a dragon to his rad rocky surface in honor of his favorite creature #WIP #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture

Thank you!

A small sculpture of a woodland friend bundled up warm in a little full body sweater with a hood, such that only their face pokes out. They are a grumpy young opposum wearing a fancy yellow sweater covered in cables and poms that their mom made them wear.

Grateful and delighted to share that this little one is going to Philly for the @theclaystudiophl Small Favors show starting in April!! "Cold and Sweet" 🤍 #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture

Delicious "flower power" oat milk latte paired with a Ceramics Monthly magazine on the bar top of a local coffee shop

Excellent start to a Wednesday #pottersofbluesky #ceramics

Today was studio time and then having dinner and a "movie" with a clay friend. This month's pick was really soothing and lovely: ceramicartsnetwork.org/clayflicks/c...

The perfect breakfast, freshly homemade lemon cookies, and coffee in a cheery handmade ceramic mug that shows rolling green hills dotted with dairy cows and a sunny blue sky with white fluffy clouds.

The little things, like lemon cookies and one of my most prized Callahan Ceramics mugs

A small ceramic lamb with a bright tulip field on their back in pinks, purples, reds, and yellows, and their head painted like a blue sky summer day with puffy clouds rising up off their forehead.

A maquette I made last year (still working out the kinks in the bigger piece, "Out Like a Lamb") #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture

Yes! Was my brother's favorite book so had to make something that was a tribute to his work.

Sitting on bright green grass is a ceramic mask of the face of one of the wild things from the children's book Where the Wild Things Are. The face has two white horns, dark wild hair, sunflower yellow eyes looking to the right, a prominent pinkish coral colored nose, and white teeth coming down over its bottom lip.

A throwback to a wall hanging I made my brother as a gift. "Wild Rumpus," 2024. #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture

Would love to be considered for this list!

Freshly sculpted and drying porcelain kelpie, a mythological water horse creature. On the right, the head emerges from the table as if from water, with wild kelp strands of hair flowing up and back. On the left, the tail similarly emerges from the table with more twisting strands of kelp.

Today's #WIP, a porcelain maquette as I figure out a new potential larger sculpture of a kelpie #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #sculpture

What a lovely compliment, you made my morning!

Thank you so much! My approximation of a sea hare family 🤍
