A little sweetness from this morning to balance the shit show that’s happening right now 💖 #nature #hummingbirds #naturevideo #buycanada #peaceandunity #whatisgoingon

A little “behind the scenes” of my carving process. It is messy at first, but then I work at smoothing everything out so it looks as seamless as I can get it. I use the same hook tool to remove the clay as to smooth it out. Then a little water on my finger does the rest. #pottery #potteryprocess

This little wheel thrown bowl I made is just the right size for a little treat, so I hand carved a party mouse inside and underglaze the colours, followed by a clear glaze on top. I might make another “party mouse dish”…? #pottery #handmadeart #art #madeincanada #vancouverislandpottery

The world is a lot right now.

The last of this batch of tumblers. Hand thrown, then hand carved. The deer is in relief, and the greenery is etched in. Lavender celadon by #amaco I’ve been in the studio all week working on some more pieces! #pottery #handmadepottery #madeincanada #artheals

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

Might as well keep sharing these tumblers I recently made! Here is my bear one! Lavender outside and glacier inside (#amaco). Wheel thrown and hand carved from hand drawing. I like how the wonk of the cup fits the bear’s bottom 😆 #pottery #madeonvancouverisland #art #animalart #wheelthrown

Here is another one of the tumblers I picked up the other day from the studio. Hand thrown and hand carved with a snail on a leaf 🐌 🍃🌙 I like how the mixed celadons turned out on the inside. #pottery #amaco #qualicumbeach #handmadepottery #handcarved

I’m super happy with the tumblers I picked up from the kiln at the studio yesterday!! This was my first time using these glazes so I didn’t know how they’d turn out. This is 1/5 tumblers. I made this on the wheel, and hand carved the owl in relief on the side. Glaze: #Amaco glacier celadon

You are weird - keep it up! Normal is boring. I threw this bowl on the wheel, trimmed it, then hand drew the words on paper, traced onto bowl, relief carved out around the letters, and carved in the hearts. #youareweird #pottery #carvedpottery #handmadepottery #youdoyou #embraceyourweird

I’ve been focused on decorating my pottery this week with relief carving. I did three bowls and a pot. One more bowl to go.

Winter finally arrived on the Island. I thought we weren’t going to get any snow this year. 🌨️❄️
