Porcelain vase with wide hips, a narrow foot and opening, and two tiny looped handles. The glaze starts teal with grey crystals toward the top, and drips down to the lower third where the white clay shows through. The pot is wheel thrown and the throwing rings catch the glaze as it drips down the ceramic pot.

Tiny handles make everything better!

Thank you thank you! Iโ€™ve always been scared to put an opaque glaze like this on the leafy pieces I spend so long decorating, but I think itโ€™s a perfect match!

Thank you so much!!! Yesss thatโ€™s absolutely the look Iโ€™m going for. Too much work to become an archeologist so Iโ€™ll make my own artifacts!!

It might be hard to see from your own perspective but I see the bridge!

500ish individual petals added to this vase and it was allllll worth it. Iโ€™m super happy with the glaze result!

First batch of snail mugs are out of the kiln! I was worried the slime would be too dark but it came out perfectly ๐ŸŒ

Looking back at past pots for future work inspiration. I think more lions are in order.

Thank you!! I explored this shape (probably saw it in a museum) clumsily when I first started making pottery, but now that I have some skill built up Iโ€™m really excited to dig back into it!

Two similar but slightly different shaped ceramic pitchers in an unformed phase sit beside each other on a shelf. Each pitcher has a tall open neck and a dramatic ribbon-like handle

Some pitchers-in-progress that finally graduated to the shelf to be bisqued!

These handles are inspired by ancient glass bottles and beakers with similar ribbon-like attachments

Circular ceramic ornaments in the greenware or raw stage with blue watercolor paintings of snails moving in different directions. Each snail has a winding slime trail following behind them winding around the ornament

My snail dishes/mugs/ornaments are proving controversial, itโ€™s fun to hear people say โ€œoh they have slime trailsโ€ with either delighted or disgusted inflection, haha!

Hereโ€™s some of my black work - to keep the bases super tiny but stable, theyโ€™re attached to carved books
