Some relaxing throwing 🌀

Beautiful!

Love the profile on these

I wrestled with the idea of the laser level! But ultimately I ordered a throwing gauge to help with consistency.

Might try the laser level if the gauge doesn’t appease me lol.

I haven’t carved on clay too many times but won’t hurt to try it out! Have any resources you used to learn?

That’s pretty freaking sick! Super talented to carve your own molds.

Wow so cool! I love the texture and glaze. Did you sculpt/carve the bugs onto the cylinder?

A rice cooker incense pot inspired by my first rice cooker my mom gave me 🤍🍚.

I still use it to this day. Been in the family for more than 10 years.

Thank you! Mister Tuxedo is such a cutie! Here’s my ornery kitty Kiki lol

Yeah you really ate with that

That’s awesome! Have a great time! & Welcome to the rabbit hole 😂.

I was really beating myself up earlier. These kind words mean a lot more to me than you’ll ever know. Thank you so much, really 🥹.

Teapot featuring the Eagle Nebula and two floating astronauts holding hands looking at the scene.

Detail of a yarn bowl showing an astronaut repairing a spacecraft above them and attached to a tether that leads to the yarn feed.

Someone said my art is a break from politics and for the record: my art is political

In a world where billionaires at the top aerospace companies see space as exclusive ground for white men to conquer and colonize, I offer a quiet contemplative alternative for anyone and *everyone*

Thank you, K.T.! ☺️

Thank you!! Struggling with my inner perfectionist 😅

Ooo I didn’t know! Thanks for the help :)

Thank you so much!! ☺️

Gorgeous Amy!

Thrown ramen bowls

Anyone else struggling with the wheel lately? 🙃

I have a commission to make a set of really wide ramen bowls and I’m struggling to make them identical. They are ever so slightly off 😭. I have a throwing gauge coming in the mail soon 😪.

Anyway here are the bowls lol

Thanks so much!

Gotta spread for word for all the potters 👼🏼

Thank you so much, Clyde! I appreciate your kind welcome and compliment! Followed you!
