Hi! I’m Rachel! I’m an illustrator from Toronto, Canada. I love animals & nature & use them for my inspo. I have also started the process of bringing ceramics into my art practice & figuring out how that looks for my work! Exciting! Thanks for being part of the adventure 😊 #illustration #ceramics

I always said that I couldn’t really draw my dog Kiwi, it never really ended up looking like her, but these do I think

Support my mug stacking habits (looks good but bad for my anxiety) and come grab these at my next shows!

I shared the screen print for this otter a little while ago and here it is on a little cup! Still waiting for its final firing, but I’m liking it so far 🥰 #screenprint #ceramics #otter #pottery #thecritterco

I forgot to post the finished jar, here it is! The outside looks good, but I’m still working on making the inside of the jar nice looking, that’s a challenge 😅

Some tests that weren’t super successful, but were always made at gifts anyways lol. Does anyone know why they fired to different colours? There were all the same clay
