Throwing bigger mugs these days. But I wonder how much shrinkage will there be.... won't get to compare since I'm hoping the bird will finally get to its new home in Ontario this week!! . #pottery #shrinkage #greenware #squirrel

First lidded vessel! So happy with how this turned out. I'm going to cut some holes in it for a garlic keeper. My husband's uncle is a garlic farmers in BC and sends us a box of garlic every year! #pottery #garlic #garlicjar #greenware #throwing

Some throwing from last night. My "studio" is in the basement of my 130 year old home. I can barely stand up in it, and it is a complete mess!! I need to raise the funds to get a decent wheel and build a studio room within the basement. Eventually! #pottery #studio #mess #throwing

Little espresso cup I made my hubby. This was at the beginning of my pottery journey before I started throwing. Speckled clay with a green/blue celaron. I have to make somemore as this one is a bit too small. #pottery #espresso #handbuilt

My drawings of a lupin that I am going to try and put on some pottery. May try a tray first? I am thinking of making a stencil on the cricut and then using underglaze? Will take some experimentation. Any ideas on how to transfer this to pottery? #drawing #pottery #flower #flower #spring #lupin

Thinking about spring has got me dreaming of flowers! Living where I do, that won't be for at least another 4 months! Here April showers bring May fog!! #pottery #smallthings #flowers #spring

I've been working on this mug for a long time!! Just with firing schedules and everything. Got it today out of the community kiln and the black underglaze I used is all pitted 😭 i asked the kiln tech if he can retire it. Any ideas on how to fix or is it a lost cause? #pottery #potteryfail #help

Working on another gift for a friend. Hope this works out! We shall see. I put a pink underglaze by @penguinpotteryllc.bsky.social under the S as this friend has hot pink hair. I'm looking forward to see how it turns out! #pottery #pink #mug #handmadegifts

A small cup made with porcelain and glazed with Mayco's shipwreck. Perfect for out by the fire with a glass of wine! #pottery #cup #porcelain #shipwreck #sunset

Realized I needed a ring holder. This took only 200g of clay. I glazed it with a @penguinpotteryllc.bsky.social celadon green and Mayco jungle gems in floral fantasy. I love how the two glazes created a waters edge look. 😀 #practicalpottery #pottery #ringholder

This is how the owl mug turned out. I hope my friend likes it. If not, I'll throw it at him!! #pottery #owl #mug #handmade #handmadegift

Finally got my favourite clear glaze from @penguinpotteryllc.bsky.social It takes a while to get it to my island in Canada, but it's so worth it! #glaze #pottery #newfoundland

Reclaim! That's one of the things I love about pottery. You mess in up in the beginning, you can reclaim it and start again. Magic! #pottery #reclaim #fail

Into the kiln!! An owl for my friend who is turning 60 next week. My handle's a bit thin. Let's hope for kiln magic! #pottery #owl #mug #glaze

We all need a timeline cleanse right now, so let's start the day with this lovely jug with an octopus motif, dating ca 1200-1100 BC. On display at National Museum Copenhagen. 📷 by me 🏺 AncientBluesky #archaeology

Making a wall sconce. We'll, I'm making a test wall sconce. I think throwing a tall vessel and then cutting it in two might work better?? Lots of cracks in this hand built sconce. May end up in reclaim yet. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this better? #pottery #lighting #experiment

Experimenting with some ideas... Any one guess what it is? I hope it works out, but we shall see. At least I can throw it back into reclaim if it doesn't turn out the way I want! #pottery #experiment #clay #fingerscrossed

This is my little buddy Belle. As you can see by the white muzzle, she's getting up there! We think she is part cat, part dog. She is the best pet I've ever had!! #dog #pomchi #smalldog

New mug using Mayco glaze with their jungle gems a little around the top to give some contrast. Transfer is by SanBao. This one is off to Ontario! #pottery #mug #potterylove #birds #underglaze #mayco

Three mugs for the family! Should have made one for myself too... It is easier to make things for others than yourself! #pottery #mugs

Another test candle holder. This one is valentine's day themed with the hearts. May do some red or pink glaze 🤔 #pottery #candleholder #greenware
