Hooking a clay 3D printer to ChatGPT feels like a masterclass in "AI doesn't understand physics" so at least it will be cost ineffective to try and print stolen work. They'll have to keep stealing from us via good old slipcasting instead. 🙃

If you're down for queer Leftist potters with mostly functional work, I'd love an include. :)

It really is. Someone needs to start breeding for longevity in fancy rats.

Thank you so much! If there's enough interest I might do a collection of mugs with different rats on the handles. A Dumbo Rat would be too cute.

I am excited to be there! I love being part of a festival LARP in my home state.

You were on an interview with WRIC, and said that if a bill to repeal Virginia's anti-labor "Right to Work" law were to hit your desk as governor you would not sign it. Can you help me understand your reasoning behind this decision?

Hi there! I asked a question of you around month ago, and then several more times since when I've seen you post. I'm going to ask again now, maybe you'll get around to answering.

I am getting my Pride hair done and I am sitting here in a pair of jeans with black clay staining on the knee. The struggle is real

Thank you so much! I love making teapots so each time I sell one I'm like "yay! I get to make another teapot!"

Thank you so much! It's a generous quart and has an internal strainer for looseleaf.
You can also put it in the dishwasher.

Thank you so much! It's a pleasure to touch too -- the juxtaposition of raw clay and gloss glaze is just chef's kiss.

Me too! I had pet rats for a while. They are so sweet and affectionate and smart with such huge personalities. It's crushing to lose them every 2-3 years.

Hi there! I have a question-- I recently read an article from WRIC that quoted you as saying that if a bill to repeal VA's anti-labor "Right to Work" law hit your desk as governor you would not sign it. Can you explain your reasoning behind this decision?

To clarify, hit your desk as governor.

Thanks! The purple is Spectrum's Plum reduction-look, and the blue is a studio glaze, but any fairly stable blue would be worth testing.

Ooof, that's the worst. I am setting up my Virginia Renaissance Faire booth tomorrow and desperately hoping to get the canvas up before it rains. Hopefully you get some weather breaks!

Doing what curly-haired people on the Internet told me to was life-changing. I actually kind of like my hair now.

Throwing is one of my great joys. While uprooting might be a little much, you can probably find classes at a community studio or parks and rec community programs. Go to a local craft or Renaissance fair and ask the potters there where they learned!

Right back at you. Sometimes it feels frivolous in the face of the monstrous actions being undertaken right now, but then I remember that one of the things that we are fighting for is the human right to make art. Even functional art that goes in a dishwasher.

I also had the "I should just make one" thought but then I remembered that while I do know how to sew and even have a decent machine, I also have ADHD and if I wait until I get around to finding/drafting a pattern, choosing fabric, buying fabric, cutting out fabric, etc, I will be dead and apronless

I'm in the same place. I am scared and sad and depressed and yet the things that help me the most are making art and using the functional art that I've purchased or been gifted. It doesn't fix anything, but it reminds me that I am not alone.
