I really should have recorded the trimming of these plates. If you are a potter you know when that clay is perfect consistency it’s just so nice to trim!! #pottery

Benefits of the early morning runs is you get to see deer on the trail. I’ve been running this trail for years and I’ve never seen deer before. #trailrunning #hiking #eastbay

Here’s a more detailed look at the plates I’m making. They are about 11” in diameter and I’m making them for my dad. 3 more to go! #pottery

One more mug done. I’m trying to build one of these a week, yes it takes that long. #nerikomi #pottery #handbuilt

Ok so this is just an idea… but hear me out, I wanna sell this latest collection with a complimentary CD that I think embodies the vibe of the piece. Since my latest collection kind of feels a little psychedelic this is what I went with.

Almost done! #nerikomi #pottery

Do yourself a favor and change your wallpaper on your phone to pets because if you are like us and have a zillion animals in your photo album you’ll get one of these gems every few hours.

Just taking photos of pottery. Another Tuesday. This is a new project. Her site is up but we are giving it a big overhaul. www.krystamae.com

Here’s my latest one from Krysta. She usually does hand building but today we did some wheel work. I’m still working on the site but it’s www.krystamae.com if anyone is interested. Shop is coming soon 😊 I want to do little bios on all the potters. They are all incredible!

Been waiting for this piece for a long time. It’s finally done! Sadly there are two small cracks in it. 😭. I might try Kintisugi but it seems very involved. A project for another day.

Websites are being made!!!!! I never thought I’d be doing this again. I forgot how much I love making websites. Here’s a sneak peak. She has such amazing work.

Things were made. The joy of Nirikomi, took about 3 hours to make this slab. Mmmmm looks so nice though!

Good stash!

Heather really wants me to make a turtle dish out of this one. What do you think?

Fresh out of the kiln! My first nice smooth plate!!!! It’s unglazed and I may tinker with it more but it’s a miracle these mixed clay pieces survive. #nirikomi #ceramics

I love how I’ve now got so many friends at the pottery studio I see my stuff before I get there. #nirikomi #pottery here’s my attempt at making a taco stand.
