Potter at Sublime Goddess Pottery in the beautiful Pacific NW. Wishing peace and happiness to all.
I find I have mixed emotions when I sell pieces in my Etsy shop. These were posted on December 4th, and both plates sold over the weekend. Happy someone else liked them; sad to see them leave my hands forever. But there's always another pot in the works, so... https://sg-pots.art/4417432526

My new chip & dip bowls are finally up in my Etsy shop! These require an extended photo shoot to get into the shop due to lots of different prop snacks, size reference shots, etc. The group shot was particularly challenging as these are party sized. https://sg-pots.art/4418785999

Did you know that these brown sugar savers can also be used as diffusers for essential oils and perfumes? They work great in small places like your car, closet, or bathroom. Just a quick spray or a few drops will slowly release the fragrance all day. https://sg-pots.art/1888529876

Thanksgiving weekend got away from me, but I finally was able to update the soap dish inventory in my Etsy shop this evening. I'll be adding more new pieces throughout the week! https://sublimegoddesspotter.etsy.com/listing/4389512187/self-draining-ceramic-soap-dish-or

My four new chip & dips are almost ready to go into my Esty shop. I need to sand the foot rings, run them through the dishwasher (to clean them and to test them, to ensure they are durable), and take beauty shots. They will go up this weekend.

Here is the other serving tray from this week's kiln load. Once again, Georgies' Autumn Leaf interactive pigment was the perfect wipe-back under the celadon glazes. Now that I see it in color, I can see that the texture itself is a chinoiserie riff. It's probably why I like it so much!

Just an amazing load from the kiln this week! Here is my finished pumpkin serving tray. I used Georgies' Autumn Leaf interactive pigment under the celadon glazes, which added quite a bit of color depth to the texture. Even better than I hoped it would be!

Number 4 of 4! The last of my new chip & dips batch is on its way to the glaze kiln. This uses a "modified" Peacock glazing technique I've been wanting to try, as well as my new Mayco Spiced Cream glaze on the bottom, which is supposed to look great on textured surfaces. #KilnGodsBeKind

This is the third of four new chip & dip bowls, glazed using the Peacock Method. These are very time-consuming to glaze and it looks like such a mess, but they come out of the kiln looking just amazing!

Soap Dish Update: Just three soap dishes left on my Etsy shop, but more are on the way soon! I will get a few more batches posted before Christmas, so thank you for your interest — and your patience! https://sg-pots.art/soapdish2

Here's another autumn-themed serving tray in the works, this one with leaves and berries. As with all my textured works, I apply interactive pigment and wipe it back before glazing with celadons, so the textures will really pop. Can't wait to see how this one comes out!
November 6, 2025 at 2:15 AM
Here's a new serving tray with an autumnal pumpkin and sunflower theme I've been working on. I just wrapped up the glazing and now it's off to the glaze fire! May the kiln gods smile as it burns. ☺️

Packing up my latest Etsy order. I guess our cat Pepper wants to go along for the ride! #gonna-need-a-bigger-box

Just finished a batch of brown sugar savers, which can also be used as diffusers for essential oils or perfume. These will go to the kiln on Friday, August 15th and should be up in my Etsy shop the following weekend.

I'm finally on the last step for this project — the clear glaze top coat firing! Tune in next week to find out if the kiln gods smiled.
Secret Project Update: Off to the Kiln (Final Round)

I've been working hard on my Secret Pottery Project these past five weeks, and I've got tons to share! Lots of tidbits and photos ahead, so let's dive right in!
Secret Project Update: Five Weeks of Glazing​
While I've been waiting for my website theme template issues to get resolved by the developer, I was busy working on my Secret Project. I had to build the platter three times due to various misfortunes, but the third time was the charm. It came out of bisque kiln intact and was waiting on my shelf July 4th. I've been working on the glazing ever since.

I finally bought a decent slab roller last month — and I built a rolling table for it by repurposing a stainless steel tool cart. Watch how in the photo gallery. https://sublimegoddesspottery.com/slab-roller-table/
Studio Improvement Project: Slab Roller Table
I've been wanting to buy a professional-grade slab roller for some time, and I finally did that in June. If you want to see how I built a rolling table for my slab roller by myself by repurposing a stainless steel tool cart, take a look at this photo gallery. I'm so proud of myself!

Apologies to my website visitors, but the last theme security update inadvertently deleted all of the page templates, so everything was looking really weird and wild out there. I just got a fix loaded from the developer today, and everything is displaying normally again. Whew!

Got this lace at the antiques store for possible pottery purposes (PPP) and sadly it has been appropriated.

I don't understand rich people who spend their money on yachts and partying. If I had the time and the money I'd spend it on classes to learn to sing, draw, paint, weave, make pottery, carve wood, all the random skills I do not currently have. Become a true renaissance man. That's the real flex.
