The first nor Easter of winter. A little slush and some wind but enough to make me lazy. #NovaScotiaLife #SchoolIsCancelled

I have ninja mice. I keep setting traps and they keep stealing the peanut butter without triggering the trap. #countryliving #joysofanoldhouse

This evening I had an injured Barred Owl in my yard. Its left wing seemed to be damaged. It eventually hopped into my woodshed. If it is still here in the morning I might try to call Hope for Wildlife. Sorry about the shaky video.

I've been out of commission due to a surgery, but rolled out some slabs to play with in preparation for my downtime. They are getting stiffer and I am playing with geometric form and colour decoration. White stoneware, mayco underglazes, paper resist. ##handcraftedpottery ##novascotiapottery

My cactus is blooming. First time ever! It grows sideways because I the studio window doesn't have enough light.

Happy Apple Blossom weekend in the Annapolis Valley. The Apple Blossoms are actually in bloom this year, along with pear, the end of the forsythia, lilacs and flowering crab. All together in a Janet Doble vase.

This is a "what would happen if?"
Someone asked, do crayons leave any pigment behind after the wax fires out? Can you use crayons for wax resist? I did glaze this after, and they did seem to work a bit as wax resist. Stay tuned for the pigment answer.

Some tests of white slip and tinted glaze decoration from my #Lunenburg School of the Arts #LSA. This week is decorating for real.

My first market of 2025. I've made some special mugs for this one, and will also have some vases available to complete your Mother's Day flowers.

Making a handle sampler with all my extruder dies. Still have 5 to attach, but it is late and Cinderella needs to go to bed. Some of these I have never used!

This was a demo in a throwing class, so I decided to use it in a glaze test. I like it. Now, to remember what the glaze combination was...
