Despite growing up atheist, my family would always go to this Easter buffet when I lived in the US. It was always something I looked forward to. Now that I live in NZ with found family, I try to do things with them that carry that tradition on. So I got us this big glorious strawberry cake 💖

Takeaway cup attempt 2 - much better!! Only problem with this one is that I overcompensated on the duct and it will only hold a small flat white, not a large 😅 The clay is Potters Clay Nelson HFW with grog made from a rock I found on the 309 Road in Coromandel. #ceramics #pottery #handmade

My first attempt at a lidless reusable takeaway coffee cup. Too wide! Doesn't fit in my car cup holders, feels awkward to hold. Mouth opening is fine for drinking though so there's that!
Do love the way the tenmoku breaks and changes over the clay body too

Also been working on a set of Friend mugs to put in my online shop, now that I've not got my stuff in any brick and mortars. Stay tuned ✌️ #ceramics #pottery #handmade

Sorry I've been so quiet here bsky friends 💖 I got the Amaco ceramic printing Inks in blue, red and yellow and mixed them and did these little testers. They've just come out of the bisc and then I'm going to clear glaze half of each tile and fire to cone 6.

Experimenting with my #pizza game. This one uses a considerable amount of corn meal in the dough... Probably too much! Not my ideal texture, but still tasty. Toppings are olives and pork sausage.

This is the first thing I saw this morning, so it was a pretty great start to the day

Selfie from the other day in my newest SÜK suit. Also rocking the "shrimps is bugs" hat

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's yunomi is a cute little cherry blossom inspired guy I made the other week to use my new glaze with. Love the way the overglaze combos with my pink one! #ceramics #pottery #handmade #ceramicglaze

First post using Flashes! Went to the beach today and had to come home early because the fog started rolling in.

I can't stop staring at this #ceramicglaze test. I made a new layering glaze, Riches and Wonders and this is it over my pink glaze.

And so being in Brickell's own space I felt I had to make my own response to the chimney pipe mug! This one is bigger around than the usual ones and I used the squared off smushed handle I usually do on soda mugs. #ceramics #pottery #handmade #aotearoa

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's mug is by Davey Marshall who is based out in Granity on the west cost of NZ te Waipounamu. I love the way the glaze dribble mirrors the emoji's little drool!

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's mug is from @hamishpottery.bsky.social that I got while we were both at Nelson Clay Week. I think my favorite parts of it are the subtle wave of the rim line and the blush on the underside of the mug.

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's mug is one of my absolute favs... but I have no idea who made it 😱 I got it from the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis when I lived around the corner from it, way back before I started ceramics myself. Love the subtle glaze. #ceramics #pottery #handmade #ceramicglaze

I made a ceramic one that looks a bit melted. He got into a national award exhibition 😅 The title was "not quite what you remembered"

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's mug is one of my classic Friends. This one I have to my flatmate because blue is their fav color. The poking out tongue is so fun but such a pain to underglaze around 😅

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's mug is from a soda firing a few years ago and it had my fav soda glaze that I call Pistachio Ice Cream. It does some crazy cool stuff! #ceramics #pottery #handmade #ceramicglaze

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ I'm in holiday and didn't expect to post for the next few days BUT the crib I'm staying at has some of fellow Potters Co-op member Lisa Simpsons work! She is known for her beautiful underglaze work. #ceramics #pottery #handmade

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the importance of today, especially since many of my followers here are not from NZ. Anyway, here is a kind of boring mug 😅 It's just got underglaze splatters all over it but I like it cause it's big. #ceramics #pottery #handmade

Mōrena bsky 💖 today in Aotearoa New Zealand it is Waitangi Day, marking the day that Te Tiriti o Waitangi was signed. Te Tiriti is the core document of this nation that has been under attack lately by the right wing govt and they have been trying to strip away the rights and sovereignty of Māori.
