Finished up this batch of mugs based on 15th century germanic "point nose jugs". Usually do these as large tankard forms, but these are a more resonalble every day size.. #pottery #medieval #folkart #wilclay #stoneware #art #mug #coffee #smallbusiness #cottageindustry

Well, got the last of the spring peas planted... a little later than i wanted to, but i always have a funny relationship with time, both free time, and timing

Just peeled a brand new batch of leaf tiles, learned alot from the first batch, and this one came out better. Excited to get these fired. #handmade #tile #wildclay #leaves #ceramic #stoneware #cottageindustry #tiles #home #kitchen #backsplash #smallbusiness #folkart #tree #nature

another syrup jar i finished up earlier this week....bitter expression on a jar made for sweet content, such is life... the eyes are made with my "crying eye" formula, so will run in the glaze firing #facejug #folkart #wildclay #pottery #stoneware #sculpture #smallbusiness #mementovitae #art

Over here trying to find center and peace, made another batch of leaf tiles which turned out cleaner than the first, and now know not to peel the leaves until tomorrow (learning is good) now on to some medieval inspired face tankards... i dont know how people manage without a creative outlet

Clip was 3 seconds too long for bluesky... but showing off my clay skulls, and talking a little about my memento vitae philosophy. There are many ideas about what comes next, tomorrow isnt certain, we know we have today. #pottery #skull #wildclay #beherenow #livetoday youtube.com/shorts/XD23U...

been a busy boy... here is a smokin devil syrup jug, a very traditional form which i have done a less traditional thing to. with so many wicked men runnin the show, that ol devil has plenty of time to kick back and relax #folkart #smallbusiness #cottagecore #pottery #facejug #cottageindustry

Many years back, a cool dude introduced me to the word "apocaloptimism"... thats a mindset ive been trying to hold together. Obtained a big set of asparagus crowns, and hope to be able to eat the spears eventually, got bayberry bushes, and i hope to make candles some day. There is a future, i hope.

Was just working on some skulls today, thinking a little, and decided to speak my mind a bit... sure im preaching to the choir, but worthy of thought anyhow #skull #motivation #inspiration #freethought #wildclay #pottery #sculpture #clay

Turned a couple of syrup jars today, a traditional form in this region being somewhere between a crock and a wide mouthed jug. They where used to store molasses made from sorghum cane juice. #wildclay #folkart #stoneware #pottery #cottageindustry
