Testing underglazes at cone 6! This was fun! And informative... Mostly Amaco velvets; a couple colors are from Speedball and Duncan. Tiles are red Laguna B-mix with white slip on the left half and clear glaze over most of the tile. Should I make ano
I'm making another little flock of sheep planters -- I love pinch pots, cute things, glaze experiments, and my laser level so I'm pretty happy in my studio this morning. #studio #wip #sheep #planters #succulent #plants #functionalceramics #clay #gl
#happyaccidents I really like throwing these little jars in one piece because closing up the top feels like a magic trick. The clay here got a little thin at the top and collapsed into this swirl shape when I tried for a knob, but it's pretty fun r
I don't usually use commercial decals but imho these are the perfect complement to the glaze. #decal #decals #ceramicdecals #ceramicartist #ceramicdecalart #blackandwhite #coloradoartist #luster #selfesteemboost
Textures! This wall panel is one of my favorite pieces from my show "Safety Zone" at Eye Lounge back when I lived in Phoenix. I love testing and experimenting; I'm really proud that I *nailed* getting the green engobe and green glaze the
I made a color woodblock print! My favorite part is where the blue and dark purple overlap; this effect would be fun to explore further. Bonus color! True pigeon fact: On TWO (!) occasions, the US military attempted to build pigeon-guided bomber pl
This is one of the first pieces I made in a ceramics class back in 2015! Red clay with sgraffito through white slip, then painted after bisque with cobalt and various stains. It's sort of satisfying to see that some of my artistic interests have
Ouah! Quel chat! I've been drawing with #procreate It's pretty fun! Kinda like decorating plates, but with two-finger tap to undo. Also I can snuggle up with a fuzzy blanket, which is (unfortunately) not normally part of my studio practice. #proc
Baby plant for a baby sheep planter. Thanks to everyone who came out to the @aurorapottersguild holiday sale this weekend; it was nice to meet a bunch of new people! The light in my kitchen is pretty good right now, isn't it? 🌞 #succulents #suc
Did you know that apple pickers also snip the stems so apples don't puncture each other? (According to the Ologies podcast I listened to earlier this week.) I like shaping the knobs on these little closed forms; this jar reminds me of an apple. Had
The Aurora Potter's Guild Fall Sale is tomorrow and Saturday -- I'll be at table #50 with wall tiles, tiny lamb sculptures and planters, fun salt + pepper sets, and gorgeous plates. Let me know if there is something on my website (link in bio) or in
Sometimes I have as much fun drawing forms as throwing them. The 2 top left vases are my favorites. (At the studio where I'm working now, half the wheels face a mirrored wall - if I prop my sketchbook up facing the mirror, I don't get slip all over

Every pair of salt and pepper shakers deserves a tray. Potholes make me...wait for it...salty! 🏺🕳️😾 #saltandpepper #saltandpeppershakers #trafficcone #trafficcones #pottery #ceramics #ceramic #functionalpottery #tableware #functionalceramics #
Another pit-firing at the Washington Heights Art Center this morning! They have a really nice pit 😍 We were all glad for some cooler weather. Looking forward to unloading tomorrow! @washheightsarts #pitfire #pottery #ceramics #clay #process #altern
Right now I'm enjoying the swoopy shape made by the areas of bare red clay. Last time I hung these panels they were swapped left/right and the blue-grey glazed sections were a sort of pool. Left: Lotus 2 Right: Lotus 1 Each 18" x 18" &quo
Pit firing at Washington Heights Art Center this weekend with @allmuddyclay, @potsbymadi, @j.l.clay, and Janet Schreiner was super fun and Zoey was a great guide to the process!Definitely heading back for another day of it. We put some terra sig on
Used my laser level to get the stripes perpendicular to the rim! Don't worry, I was careful to work facing the wall so I didn't blind the other people in the studio. #safetyfirst It was a beautiful sunny, dry day when I made it - we had the garage d
