My hands hurt. It’s been a rough week of demo. Cuts, cracks, and embedded dirt. But they remind me of who I am and the influence of where I came from.

Going to PTown May 6-10th to celebrate my 50th. I know it’s early in the season, but looking forward to a quieter PTown. Any suggestions on what to do?

Never knew foil and a little water was a great cleaner of chrome. Anyone got ideas on how to make the chrome look even better without having to take down and have it rechromed?

Okay winter. We get it, you like your snow this year. It’s pretty but I’m pretty sure I’m done with you.

Happy ❤️ Day!

As snow storms and more cold weather move in, I’ve come down with a cold and am feeling wildly unmotivated. So ready for Spring so here’s a pic from last year. #beardedgay #gardening

We consumed some news; now we nap and recover.

I made these vases for a shop, but I kind of want to keep them for myself. #pottery #budvases #handmadevase

Every Sunday I sit down and review/plan my week, cleanup my desktop, and clear out clutter. Been doing this for decades. It’s one thing I do to feel some sense of control and focus.

How do we bring back a desire to barter? I’ve got 4 dozen eggs in the fridge from my hens and feel like that should get me a new car or something.

Grateful for readers…trying to paint straight underglaze lines isn’t easy for me. #pottery #process #handmade

WE ARE NOT HELPLESS. Put a pin in this: "29 concrete actions you can take right now to protect our system of government" #HowWeFight www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-you-ca...

Good day to glaze.

Nice song and beautiful video.

Whoooo is she? 😆🦉

There’s always a point in the winter when I can’t stop thinking about the coming spring and the smell of lilacs. One of my vases filled with lilacs from the yard. #potter #pottery #flowervase

When you need a lift-me-up, what is your go to? For me, I like to watch people creating art in all forms. This dance sequence has had millions of views and still gives me chills every time I watch. youtu.be/REPPgPcw4hk?...

It may not look it, but I was working…waiting for a pipe to drop down through the subfloor above my head. 10 years ago, I would have been sitting in a conference room debating about website colors. Working on houses is so much more rewarding.

One of many steps in glazing my birch mugs. Wiping off the under glaze to reveal the “bark.” #birch #birchmug #handmademug #pottery

Thinking about taking myself to Provincetown. This coming April for a milestone birthday. I like beaches off season…any suggestions in where to stay/what to do? I haven’t been there since I was 13.

Trimming the bottom of one of my wonky pots. These are new for me and I’m excited to see how they come out. #pottery #wheelthrown #trimmingpottery

Today is a good day to work in the studio and make art.

Good morning.

Found this in the firebox while getting fire going this morning. I have so many questions but mainly…is this an essential part to my fireplace insert?!
