The people want to know how to throw pots, so I throw pots. The people struggle to make lightweight pots, so I showed them how to facet them to remove the weight. We’ll keep practicing and the pots will get lighter, but in the meantime we’ll have interesting, sculpted beauties to show off 🪨😎

My favorite piece of 2024 🐺🐺🐺 exploring the use of waste clay and glaze, creating surfaces that cannot be planned or replicated. Up to 7 clay bodies and an unkown combination of glaze ingredients, reduction fired.
