FUCK! Now Bluesky is suspending accounts of trans folx who speak out and "wish ill" upon JK Rowling. But she can spew hatred all the time at trans folx. Hello, double standards, one for the filthy rich, one for the hoi polloi.

I'd hoped Bluesky was a better place to be; I was sadly mistaken. FUCK!

Planning my wall display for 1001 Pots' 36th annual show, which runs Friday, July 4 - Sunday, August 17, in Val-David, QC.

My display will be in the gallery (right side of the path to the main grounds). If you're in the Laurentians, come visit and take a look: there's over 100 ceramicists on show.
About 20 wall ceramic sculptures; they look like bits of machines that do not have a clear and apparent function. The background is a faux-faded indian carpet. My house is messy, yes, yes it is.

Fascinating: Did you know that the Sun's energy output per cubic meter is only about the same as that of a compost heap? ☀️🍂

About 277 watts per m3

(277 watts per m3 doesn't seem very impressive. But the sheer volume of the Sun generates an immense output.)

A turning dial of some kind... I'll probably make the dial red or orange, and the bit underneath looks like a good candidate for Pinnell's weathered bronze. I continue to delight in adding moveable bits to my compositions.

Photos from last weekend's wood firing. We camped, cooked over a fire, bantered, burned about a cord of wood over 34 hours & toasted the finish with saké. Gratitude to the early morning crew who started it at 2 AM & to the night crew who babysat it overnight (and fretted while it was stalling) xoxo
Robin tossing wood into the kiln, as I hold the door. We're wearing suede jackets and coats, and she's wearing googles and a face shield, because this is HOT WORK. Me and Joan after breakfast, sitting in camp chairs and watching the action from below an awning. The back of the kiln shed in the morning, with firing spitting out of the chimney. Robin continues to toss wood in for another stoke while I hold the door of the kiln aside.

I've reached the point where I hesitate to look at social media or Reddit because my heart gets broken each time by the horrific news from around the world. And it feels tone-deaf & frivolous to post anything related to my art practice.

Another #Metallic from the most recent glaze firing. Not _entirely_ pleased with the blue underglaze on the "H-beam" section; further thought needed. Still, I'm happy the red stirrup thingmie still rotates inside the blue ring thingmie (I speak advanced technical jargon, y'all).

#Sculpture
a piece of ceramics that looks likes a piece of machinery. It's a half cylinder, cut lenghtwise, with a red stirrup handle that can flip side to side. There are black and yellow chevrons on either side. It can be hung up vertically, or horizontally. Heck, even diagonally if that's what razzes your berries. Background is pavement.

💦💧💦 The water-themed #Metallic came out pretty dang great! I'll do some touch-ups with acrylic inks to fix a spot or two that I don't like, and it'll be ready to wire up for hanging. The red tap still turns as well. I am pleased.

The front of a roundel wall-sculpture as seen on pavement. It has a red tap, a red-capped clean-out on the side, three water channels, and a water drop symbol in case it wasn't obvious enough this thing is about water in an industrialized or urban setting. Not shown on the side is a plaque with the molecular weight of water on it, as an Easter Egg. Several of my works have Easter Eggs, actually. It's a little fun thing I do to amuse myself while I work.

Glazing pots outside for a wood firing. Oh! The freedom to splash, drip & make a mess is so liberating! It also makes me feel connected to the long tradition of pottery around the world, often done out of doors. In case you're wondering, I'm testing out a Malcolm Davis carbon trap shino.

+ cat tax
A wooden board covered with news paper set in a driveway. It holds six pots that have been splashed and dripped with glazes; my hand holding a brush hovers over a bucket of gray coloured glaze (that glaze should be dark green after firing) The top view of the splashed bowls and plate on the wooden board with newspaper. Background is asphalt. Why yes, this is a messy process, as the white splashes on my jeans will attest. This orange cat is not taking me seriously, at all. (he's yawning, but he could also be laughing his fuzzy ass off).

June is Pride Month and I identify as an LGBTQ+ ally.

It's among my core values that love is love, and that folks of all walks of life, gender identification and sexual preferences should able to thrive, to live their lives safely, free of harassment, hatred, assault, or worse. Be an ally too!
Text reads "June is Pride Month" on a rainbow background, with stars on the left and a LGBTQ* flag on the upper right.

This little bouquet of spirea boughs (which I banged into a vase after giving the bush encroaching on the front steps a hasty clip) is such a delight today.

#Flowers #Spring #Spirea #Bouquet #Vignette
A naïve bouquet of "bridal veil" spirea boughs arching out of a cylinder vase rests on a black surface. There's a trinket dish next to it. Behind is a green lamp with a white shade, a black speaker, and a mellow yellow wall hung with a painting.

Another #Metallic destined for the next glaze kiln. In case it's not obvious enough, this one's about water. 💦
