Bowls catching the light just right in the studio.

Fermenters.
I use these to make sauerkraut and my Manitoba version of kimchi… people who bought them have shared recipes for kosher pickles, dill carrots, sour onions and just liking the form enough that they didn’t want the fermentation weights.
Any fun ferments to suggest as I plan the garden?

Giveaway! I'm enjoying my time on Bluesky so far, such a huge improvement over IG, FB, and X. This is just a little reward for folks who've also switched over. Like or repost this post for your chance to win this mug. I'll send it anywhere in Canada.

Throwing fermentation crocks this weekend. It takes 7 kg (15.4 lbs) to make these large ones, which seems to be about the limit of what I can throw on the kick wheel. My stockpile of pots for wood-firing season is growing.

Doing dayjob work in my notebook, drinking coffee from my @mcmillanpottery.bsky.social mug, and resisting the siren song of spending the day in front of the fireplace reading photo books.

Hey Bluesky people!

If you followed my adventures on insta (which I’m leaving) you already know that I dig everything that goes into my pots from where I live. I also throw my pots on a kick wheel and fire in my wood burning kilns. If you just found my account I hope you enjoy my ramblings!
