Choose 20 pots or ceramic pieces that you have made. One pot per day for 20 days, in no particular order. I sewed pine needles onto the pottery.

This little bird survived a volcanic eruption!

Buried by volcanic ash from Vesuvius in AD 79, this Roman fresco of a little bird pecking at fruit re-emerged looking as delightful as it did some 2,000 years ago!

Grew a garden her mind,
And even on the darkest days,
From her smile the sun still shined.” (E.Hansen)

In honor of the big day (new episode of pottery throwdown) I thought I'd share this teapot; with a #superbOwl surface design; from my most recent kiln firing!

Happy day of the superb owl to all who celebrate!!!

“Feral” Dahlia lidded mug. She’s got a little crack, but I still love the way this one turned out.

Hand-formed teabowl with slip texture and shino-like glaze. Woodfired in the Groundworks Art Lab anagama. Wishing I still had this one, but happy knowing it's being loved by its new owner.

Forever ago, I returned home from a roadtrip with a stack of salvaged cabinetry doors. “Happy birthday! Aren’t they great?”

I didn’t know they’d become our photo backdrop, but I knew they were special.
