I just want to make big weird art without having to worry about how my bills will get paid.

My Fig Faeth inspired bust is complete! #figfaeth #dimension20 #dnd #pottery #ceramics #sculpture #dungeonsanddragons #fantasyhigh @dropout.tv @samreich.bsky.social

Making my own sink basin is on my potter bucket list! These are so cool!

In the wise words of Richard Miller, “ceramics, innit?” 😅 😭

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!! ☺️

Thank you! I’m working on glazing her now (it’s taking forever, I’m overthinking all of it lol) I’ll update when she comes out!

Please share with me the small joys making the world survivable for you lately! Mine is this little bee who got lost in the sauce and was taking a little flower nap in my yard this week.

An over the garden wall stacked ceramic art in a front yard surrounded by flowers. Greg is on the bottom holding his rock, wearing his tea kettle elephant hat, Jason Funderburger the frog sits on his head, and his brother Wirt sits on top.

Finally finished this over the Garden Wall garden piece! It’s actually 7 separate pieces secured in a stack with rebar. This was super fun to make and great practice! #otgw #ceramics #pottery #sculpture #art #gardenart #overthegardenwall #aintthatjusttheway

Phenomenal! 🤩 I would honestly love to see how you package these for transport if you wouldn’t mind sharing!

Friendly reminder that I'm participating in ArtPrize, a huge art experience in Grand Rapids now-Oct.
My piece is on display at the art of life now gallery on Division. If you happen to be in the area during this event consider checking out my piece & voting for me!

Im working on a series of sculptures based on vintage photos of children in their Halloween costumes! The first, Matilda, is in the drying stages! 🤩 #ceramics #sculpture #ceramicart #halloween #spookyseason

Lori, if you’re cheap just say that 🙃

Greg is all glazed up and ready for the kiln! So so excited how cute he looks. May the kiln gods be kind 🤞

Tarantula sculpture! #pottery #ceramics #sculpture #tarantula #creepycrawly

Keep in mind it’s my 2nd human bust so…it’s unlikely to be spectacular.

Sculpture class starts soon. We are doing human busts, can be anyone. Who should I sculpt?

1. Richard Perry @rickperry.bsky.social
2.Pedro Pascal
3. Sam Reich @samreich.bsky.social
4. Gorgug Thistlespring @zacoyama.bsky.social
5.Other

Keep in mind, this is my second & it will probably be bad.

I had a solo show this weekend! Majorly out of my comfort zone but definitely necessary for building my artist resume and putting myself out there! Thank you to everyone who facilitated and encouraged this opportunity! ❤️

Tried something a little different with the glaze…definitely going to try it with different combos 😍

Set of 6 Japanese tea bowls (also called chawans) stacked on top of each other. They’re carved with various imagery of deep sea, ocean, land, mountains, sky and space as they stack up. The top and bottom bowls are glazed in a dark blue black, the next 2 working inward are glazed in a variegated blue purple, and the inner 2 are glazed in a breaking blue green.

First matching set- Japanese tea bowls

Just saw an update that they got 1,000 applications in the first 2 minutes. They are only looking at the first 100.
Is the equity in the room with us right now??

Someone with slow internet speeds, someone applying at their local library, or worse on their work computer because of the time the app opened wouldn’t stand a chance.
I’m really, genuinely hoping there’s something I’m missing and someone can educate me.
