Why porcelain will always have my heart ✨

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.

Do you tap your bisqueware? If not, you should.

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

Today’s meditation with clay…

…although I teeter on the edge, I remain open to the possibilities.

Crystalline glaze DRIP???!!!! Who knew it could happen? Never to be repeated again. 😂

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.

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.

What am I making? [cue “Weird Science” by Oingo Boing]

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?

#TodaysMeditationWithClay - a grief vessel in honor of my cousin, Juju who died today. She is only two years older than me. I’m heartbroken.

Throwing dry to retain throwing rings/lines. I’m just going to trim the base a wee bit. I prefer to get all my shaping done on the wheel, so I have less to trim, and therefore less to reclaim. 😅

Kentucky Mudworks’ ^6 Speckled Brown is smoooth. We’ll see how it plays with my fave glazes.
