Love it!

Keep some beauty in your timeline! My latest small batch of pottery with lush browns, greens, and copper glazes. #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #fall

Oh, just saw that you’re in Port Townsend! I have family there. Such a great place.

Yummy!

I posted some chocolate clay test tiles recently, and this gorgeous green glaze was the winning contender for my first pieces. I also would up with some cute little drips. #pottery #ceramics #handmade

A great deal! Make sure the kiln is wired for residential voltage, but if so, I’d jump!

A wheel thrown mug, altered by darting. Flashings slip yielded a matte beige surface with areas of darker tan/orange.

I tossed my typical surface decoration techniques out the window for my recent soda firing. Texture, darting, flashing slip, waxes…and I LOVE IT. I wish I could participate in a soda firing more often. #pottery

Recently participated in a soda firing, and all I can say is that I’m obsessed. I’ve been wanting to explore different surface decoration techniques lately, and I couldn’t be happier with how this mug turned out.

The world may be on fire, but I’m over here finding a small serotonin boost with fall leaves and silly pottery. #pottery

That is awesome!😎

Taking a little appreciation gift to my physical therapist this morning, and sending a huge shout-out to all the professionals who help keep us potters going. I’ve been fortunate to have really great help along the way.

I know it’s still summer, but I’m so ready for fall. This glaze is bringing all the autumn vibes. #pottery

A quick shot from my booth this past weekend. Having fresh flowers really elevated my display. #pottery

Making cute little underglaze test tiles to distract myself from the gloom and doom. Thanks to all the other artists out here who are posting beautiful things…we need that energy! #art #pottery

Aah, but the form! 😍

My red one came today! I absolutely adore! 😍😍😍

A trio of vases, each different height and shape, but gently rounded and bulbous. They are glazed in a combination of maroon, copper, brown, and green. The second photo shows the same vases in softer, indirect lighting.

A series of vases that I’d like to continue exploring. I love how the colors shift in different light. #pottery #ceramics #art

😻😻

Just ordered one! 😍

A trio of rounded vases made with a speckled clay and glazed in white, with an assortment of pink, red, and white tulips

I usually put a lot of color into my pottery, but sometimes a simple white is perfection. Pretty #tulips make a bright and cheerful combination..which we all need right now. Have a beautiful weekend! #pottery #ceramics

Hi and thanks! It’s a layering of 3 commercial glazes by Mayco that make the variegated effect.

Beautiful!
