This piece has been haunting/taunting me to be finished since January. It is the hope we carry - ride the waves - keep going. The incised lines are life events. The 22K gold luster on the inside is the hope we carry - lean into the light.

Long time, no post! I’ve been teaching beginner wheel throwing classes, and spending my free time in the studio with clay, because it continues to keep me grounded. It has been the greatest teacher.

Retaining trim lines can be fun, too! I like the little terraces because they allow the glaze to pool.

Pottery tools purchased during my recent trip to Japan. I thoroughly enjoyed soaking in all the pottery, history, museums, and spending time with fellow ceramicists.

I just finished a 3-Day workshop with José Mariscal at San Jose’s Higher Fire JTown Clay. What a whirlwind. I love learning about other potter’s techniques.
We were asked to bring bisqueware to the workshop to glaze in José’s crystalline glazes.

PORCELAIN DUMPLING RATTLE

“Why are you screaming?”
Because it’s hilarious!
Too bad I couldn’t attach the video of me shaking it. Different post, I guess. 😅

Explorations in letting go. A new-to-me dark stoneware clay and a John Mino type glaze. I’m smitten and excited to continue down this path.

Say it with me: Black Laaaaaaaaahvah
This small vase has been sitting in my studio for over a year, patiently waiting to be glazed. None of my existing glazes "felt right." Until this week when I have been experimenting with creating a black lava glaze.

I’ve been pulled to continue making vessels. Containers to hold grief, sorrow, and maybe hope. This one feels like ancient Rome or Greece.

My brother asked if I ever made a giant mug. I never shared the finished Alice in Wonderland mug and teapot in action. I’m quite amused by them. Are you?

Look to your left.
Look to your right.
Look behind you.
Do not forget how you got here.
You did not spontaneously appear.
You were not born alone.
You are a culmination of events.
How will you thank those whom you’ve never met?
