I get to see how this turns out tomorrow!

Wild that the kiln is done, whatever happened has already happened, but I'm still crossing my fingers hopefully. 🤞

This is the most Schrodinger's hobby I've ever been a part of. #pottery #ceramics

My dad made me a wedging table for working clay (the top will be filled with pottery plaster) and he made it out of the wood from the bunk beds my sister and I slept in. 🥹🥰

What a kick in the nostalgia. I love it.

This is a cross-section of how it'll work, for anyone interested! The water allows for gases to escape, while not allowing in any bacteria or mold to get to your pickles. Pretty genius, really!

I did make a lid for this, but right now it just looks like a bowl. 😆

My dad calls me up, "Hey, I think you should make a water-sealed pickling crock. For me. I want one."

I said I would try, despite not knowing what it was.

After a couple hours of research, and one failed attempt, here's the biggest thing I've thrown yet! 8lbs of clay. Phew! #pottery #ceramics

It's my buddy Hunter's birthday! 🥳

He's a super senior; 13 years old and going strong. To match his powder-sugar face, he's missing a tooth or two up front now, so he bleps more often. For being roughly 91 years old, I think he's doing pretty good. 😂

🧡🎃QRP your Pumpkin Art!🎃🧡

I don't think I've post this lil guy yet, all finished! The eyes shrank too much to tuck an LED in there, but I still love it! #ceramics

My absolute menace. ❤️

I turned it into a chip n dip bowl, by the by.

Gonna do some trippy peacock effect, hopefully get those good-good glaze drippies and trail.🤞 It's gotta be fired first.🤞🤞

I think this'll be a yule gift for my sister. If it all works out, I'd be up for making more! I'll let y'all know how it goes.😊

Here's a bowl I made today that will bear all of the pasta which will surely fix my dismay over shit happening in the world.

One can hope. #pottery #ceramics

The best mug I've thrown yet! I love the shape, the handle is perfect, and the texture is *chef's kiss*.

It might be the first mug I try and sell!

I've just gotta figure out what colors to glaze it with. 😅 #pottery #ceramics

Lil garlic roasting jars! First time doing an enclosed form that'll be a lid. The lid will get cut off once it's leather hard. 😁 #ceramics #pottery

I was pretty pleased with how this mug turned out! It just came out of the first kiln firing successfully. Now I'm just waiting for a glaze I ordered to come in.

Not pictured: the two similar mugs I made that look...pretty special, in comparison. 😂 #ceramics #pottery

Also there was this guy. 😂 I was surprised he got mostly laughs in western Maine, but it was for sure the right audience at an arts fest.

The way this guy is making me CACKLE is getting some looks in the studio. 😂

To the kiln with ye! #ceramics

Ermahgawd a punkinnnnn! 🥰🎃

Gonna cut a wicked lil face in him once it hardens back up.
September 9, 2025 at 5:46 PM
This isn't going to look like much to most people, BUT I made a closed form on the wheel!! This ain't easy, kinda a technical brag. So I've got a big pocket of air totally surrounded by clay. This'll be a pumpkin, and I'll put a lil hole in the bottom so it doesn't explode in the kiln.😁 #ceramics

I'm back in the studio! I tried to throw larger today (was aiming for a ramen bowl) and it was the first time throwing 4lbs. Phew! A lot more wrestling with the clay to center it with each additional lb! What I threw wound up being too thin, but it was a good learning experience.😊 #ceramics #pottery

This is the clincher for me! The Oysterman for sure has my vote. 💙 #GrahamForMaine

I've made a small army now! These are still green; I'm looking forward to firing these lil guys! #ceramics

OH NO

I've been notified that there's been a litter of kittens born and given the name of cosplayers.

THERE'S A LIL BLACK CAT NAMED BELLECHERE 😭

...I want to adopt her so bad. 🖤

In a move that will likely surprise no one, I went from making huge mugs to tiny tiny cauldrons.

Anyone want a cute smol desk cauldron? It could hold so many lil things! 😁
