I posted some chocolate clay test tiles recently, and this gorgeous green glaze was the winning contender for my first pieces. I also would up with some cute little drips. #pottery #ceramics #handmade

I tossed my typical surface decoration techniques out the window for my recent soda firing. Texture, darting, flashing slip, waxes…and I LOVE IT. I wish I could participate in a soda firing more often. #pottery

Recently participated in a soda firing, and all I can say is that I’m obsessed. I’ve been wanting to explore different surface decoration techniques lately, and I couldn’t be happier with how this mug turned out.

The world may be on fire, but I’m over here finding a small serotonin boost with fall leaves and silly pottery. #pottery

Taking a little appreciation gift to my physical therapist this morning, and sending a huge shout-out to all the professionals who help keep us potters going. I’ve been fortunate to have really great help along the way.

I know it’s still summer, but I’m so ready for fall. This glaze is bringing all the autumn vibes. #pottery

A quick shot from my booth this past weekend. Having fresh flowers really elevated my display. #pottery

Making cute little underglaze test tiles to distract myself from the gloom and doom. Thanks to all the other artists out here who are posting beautiful things…we need that energy! #art #pottery

A series of vases that I’d like to continue exploring. I love how the colors shift in different light. #pottery #ceramics #art

My big boy/studio assistant, politely requesting a bite of salmon. Happy #caturday #catsofbluesky

I usually put a lot of color into my pottery, but sometimes a simple white is perfection. Pretty #tulips make a bright and cheerful combination..which we all need right now. Have a beautiful weekend! #pottery #ceramics

A day late for the cute hashtag, but I made my own #superbowl this morning. In my head it seems so enormous when I’m throwing it, but by the time it’s done I’m like “Really, that’s it?” 😅 This is about four pounds of clay, 4 inches tall and 11.5” wide. #pottery #ceramics #maker #handmade

Just doodling today. Letting go of stress, letting the whimsy flow. Clay is such a delightful medium #pottery #sgraffito #ceramics #abstract

What do you see? How does it make you feel? No wrong answers. #pottery #ceramic #functionalart #handmade #pottersofbluesky

I made this mug two years ago for a friend who is a huge Eagles fan. He calls it his lucky mug, and perhaps the mojo is working..? His beloved team is heading to the Super Bowl! #pottery #ceramics #mugshotmonday #superbowl

A collection inspired by the white sand and rich blue-greens of the (ahem) Gulf of Mexico. #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #madeinaskutt

I want to be courageous enough to post non-perfect things here. Reaching waaaay out of my comfort zone with some #underglaze surface design today. This is just a test piece and I’m learning so much as I go along! Excited to see what happens next #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky

#raku, anyone? I don’t get many opportunities to experiment with this magical process, but it’s yielded some of my favorite and least predictable pieces. #pottery #ceramics
