Hey Chicago, things are about to get rough. Here’s something you can do to make a difference: Join Pots to the People on September 13th for our inaugural sale, “Seconds for the First Amendment”
100% of the proceeds go to the ACLU, who keep fighting this shit every single day.

I started a little grassroots movement in the ceramics community. Check out “Pots to the People” on Instagram to see how potters are showing up for civil rights! First event is Sept 13th in Chicago!

Big crowd at Federal Plaza, and an unofficial March to Trump Tower. They asked if anyone had anything to say. I grabbed the bullhorn.

If you’re wondering when it will be time to grab the bullhorn: Now. The time is now.

It’s near impossible to post pot pictures. I’m consumed with the dismantling of our government. Here’s a pic of our gorgeous brand new soda kiln which is having its inaugural firing today. But I’ll be at Federal Plaza in Chicago making some noise in front of our Senators’ offices.

I called these “Blue Wave”mugs, back when hope for a Blue Wave was still growing. But there’s room for this design yet. What if you started each morning with empathy as deep as the ocean, and waves churning your next big idea toward shore? #pottery
