Contrast. Opposite ideas. Maybe if you listen to the other side you’ll discover a new way of seeing…. And creating!

I started to push out the bottoms of my slab built mugs and cups two years ago.

When you slab build, the wall of your piece meets the floor at 90 degrees. This never sat well with me as I wanted to make forms that were softer.

And a spoon fits nicely inside if you need to stir.

My small kiln is hooked up and on! I haven’t had a kiln since I moved studios in July of last year so to say I feel l good is an understatement.

I’m so happy!!!!! Thanks Max.

dog, cat, stack o bowls.

The vibe is weird and scary,
yet the animals are cute and hairy.

Also I can’t stop making things because the world is falling apart. I love/hate that. Anyone else?

Why not sip out of #handmadepots?

This is my favourite form to make. ✨

‘Afternoon Tea With Sleepy Dog’

This is a mug o mine that has a chip in the foot so I kept it. Always a good idea to drink out of things you are selling for others to drink out of.

They took all this information away.Terrifying that this is happening. It’s just the beginning.

Are you the kind of artist who sits there for days thinking about something and then finally does it, or are you the kind of artist who really doesn’t think about it but just dives in and does it? Guess what kind of artist Tilly is. 🙃

Life hack: all you need is a solid 12 hour sleep a night in a squishy bed to get your creative juices flowin’. *Note all your other responsibilities will suffer.

Thanks @laurawilliamsstudio.com for this stop-motion-type video idea. 😃

I know. I love my cat and I love seeing her poke around in the studio. She is such a cutie.

Mugs, a sleepy pup and clay reminding me who’s the boss. 😑

Remember folks! Compress those slabs!

Hey and hallo! I’m a Canadian clay person from the smack dab middle of Canada. I use soft slabs to create forms without hard lines. My glazing style is both precise and loose, playing with the idea of opposites.

Dear @bsky.app, don’t let me down.
