I make handmade pottery to nourish your soul. I believe that the secret to peaceful living is minding your own damn business.

Trying out watercolor. Don’t tell my clay. #alwayslearning #lifelonglearner #ayearoflight #ceramics #pottery #pottersofbluesky

The plastic cup!! Comes in handy in the studio as I sometimes lose the round of the rim after attaching the handle. Also useful to push against when the rim is just a bit too wet. The little things … I could probably play with it all day. #ceramics #pottery #tools #useful #mugshot #handmademug

#blueskyartshow theme is #monochrome. Theme could also be #delicious. I baked this about 2 weeks ago. I need to wake up my #sourdough and get some more loaves going.

Day 13 #20pots20days One of my all time favorites- and I still won’t sell it! Made with minimally processed wild clay taken straight out of my son’s yard. It’s a mustard yellow at bisque and then a beautiful red. #wildclay #ceramics #pottery #oftheearth

Day 12 of #potterschallenge Fluidity, and the intersection of reality and imagination. #moonart #crescentmoon #ceramics #pottery #studioceramics

Day 10 of potter’s challenge. The heart in the middle just appeared! The perfect marriage of form and glaze. I couldn’t have planned that. #serendipity #ceramics #pottery #pottersofbluesky #loveblue #hearts

Day 10 While I was making these, Duran Duran’s “View to a Kill” was in my head. Yep, as it is again. #skeleton #DuranDuran #ceramics #pottery #mugshot #winecup #studioceramics #20pots #potterschallenge

Day 9… Because some things are better… off. #ceramics #pottery #wheelthrown #mugshot #lingerie

Day 6 (that I apparently skipped) of potter’s challenge. This pup - oh how I loved him. He was a good boy. #ceramics #pottery #tribute #gspofbluesky #gsp #stoneware #portrait #functionalart

Day 7 of choose 20 pots. This is a first attempt at bespoke decals. Used a matte glaze - I’ll be trying this again on a gloss. But can we talk about my girl?! #ceramics #pottery #mugshot #decals #babiesofbluesky

Day 5 of potter’s challenge . I’m donating this bowl to a fund raiser… at my church. Kinda unexpected. #skull #skeletondance #stoneware #ceramics #pottery #pottersofbluesky #studioceramics #wheelthrown

Close up

Day 4 of Pottery Challenge. My amazing and progressive church is having a Souper Bowl fundraiser to benefit the soup kitchen, and I am donating these soup bowls. I really enjoy making work for a worthy cause! #souperbowl #ceramics #wheelthrown #giveback #soupkitchen #contemporaryceramics “ #pottery

Day 3 of Potter’s challenge And the mug I reach for daily when I read Tr^mp news. #ceramics #mugshot #resist #pottery #wheelthrown #wearefked

I didn’t love this bowl originally, so I added a different glaze and refired. I love the way the glazes played together - not coexisting but each looking to make sure it’s heard. Unfortunately it also made the bowl not so functional. Such is pottery, amiright? #ceramics #pottery #wheelthrown

Choose 20 pots you’ve made, post 1 per day in no particular order. Glazing this one today. #pottery #ceramics #cone6 #wheelthrown

When Mason looked like my Buddha

Just read a complaint in a thread about the rising cost of Medicare. In an attempt to console, someone else wrote in response, “well at least our Social Security will be tax free soon.” Who’s going to tell them? #socialsecurity #taxes

Sadly, not chocolate.

Let them fight!

There’s no place like it. #handmadepottery #noplacelikehome

Monday journaling with one of my favorites. Mug by me, pen by Embassy Suites.

Big fan of the hazy IPA. This one was chewy. #millworks #hazyipa #dohashtagsworkthesameway

This + hot chocolate = fun evening.

Also this one.

Another fun mug in development. Hold sideways up to a mirror.
