I am a full time potter/mud enthusiast 😘, I love hand building (even though I can throw down on a wheel!), married to my best friend and mother of 4 beautiful adults, lover of all kinds of music (love the Avett Brothers!), loving small town farm living ❤️
Glazing pottery = my villain origin story. Why can’t I be the kind of potter who just dips & calls it a day? Nope. I need layers, color, chaos. New blog up: “Glazed & Confused.” God help me.

I use these Bill Van Guilder texture plates 😉. You can play with them to create the textures you like! Clay King sells them (they ship fast!)

Hey y’all! I have been struggling a bit trying to figure out where to find things I normally buy on Amazon…
Here is my little “pottery tip” for today! Now, go and get thrifting (and creative - it’s rough out there!)!
