I love this little #cup. I've been meaning to revisit this attempt at modern #abstract design meets #Amazigh design.

Quiet moments in the studio are necessary for my mental health. Meditations over ceramic forms get me through.
Here is a shot of an #amazigh #jug in progress.

Making a pack of Potter’s Resources. Kiln/tool makers, trade pubs, major clay centers, ceramics galleries. Let me know if any places join! (I can’t remove myself from the pack so please know I’m not being arrogant thinking I belong in it. 🤣)

When I get incredibly stressed out, I start imaging the next pots I plan to make. I think of how I’ll pull the walls and shape them, whether I’ll carve or slip or glaze it. And then I’ll often sketch it all out. This grounds me.
Any other mind palace potters out there?

I often find the tea sets I’ve made scattered on the floor with some stuffies, and it’s pretty clear that someone’s been having a little tea party - but I’ve never actually caught one of her secret tea parties until today. Super cute ☺️

A hand-painted cup in the old #kabyle style. Recreating my people’s traditional #Amazigh #pottery is making my heart so happy.
