I made a new baby. This jug is based on the Irish mythological beast named Cathach. She's made out of reclaimed clay and fired to ∆10 in reduction.

The one thing I hear over and over from job seekers is "I need a job."
That is FALSE.
You don't need a job. A job needs you.
You need food and shelter.
You can live under a bridge. You can eat anyone who tries to cross that bridge and fails to answer your riddles correctly. Problem solved.

Steeb, my latest sculpture is in progress. I dreamt up this creature in 2019. My classmates called it "Ash's Moving Castle" 🤭
I plan on bringing more monsters into the world, maybe they'll fight for me

My Manticore got all of its final details and now begins the slow dry before bisque and glazing! He'll be getting fired to cone 10, or 1305°C, for the glaze firing!

My first figure sculpt at Laney College
Sculpted from life, made in the studio one day a week for 5 weeks straight
Bisque fired to 04, underglaze wash applied to highlight texture, and fired again to cone 6

There might be something to manifestation after all.
I told myself & friends at the start of October I'd interview for a studio manager type of job, I got the job by the end of the month, and I'm already getting more hours every week! I love that I get to work in a queer clay space. ❣️
