My favorite mascot on National Mascot Day.

May the 4th be with you - one of the plates I’m working on in class for J.

One of my mugs that I’m creating to do a little stop motion project for my first assignment this semester. (Used @miloberezin.bsky.social technique on some black mountain slab mugs)

Waiting to pick up J the other day from Magic Mountain.

Back in class today for spring semester and I was testing color variations with different clay bodies and slip before I start my first assignment. So I can decide which color way I’m going.

Last spring during my first ceramics hand building class. I started making these abstract bunny heads. Made this one from a slab cylinder. Something about this bunny makes me unbelievably happy. And never not puts a smile on my face, so I’m going to continue to make it and call my govt officials.

Last spring’s pinch pot rattle assignment out of the bisque fire.

One of my first thrown plates. Did a little sgraffito over a messy underglazed crab. I used a dark body clay with a clear glaze and I love that it turned this light grey color.

Last week waiting for my coffee date.

I made this pinch pot rattle in my first ceramics class last spring. I was trying for an abstract bunny shape since part of the assignment was that it couldn’t be representational.
I downloaded the 5calls app last week. I had blocked out how much calling I did the first time around.

I made this mug in my hand building class last spring. I pressed a piece of lace into the handle and at the seam. It’s another one that’s not usable as is, it needs a refiring because the clear glaze is crazing.

I guess I’m giving good cat energy lately. This fellow stopped me in the asile at the used bookstore, so I squatted down to pet him and he hopped onto my legs until I took a seat in the floor. The store employee said he’d nap if I let him.

This cat at the hardware store walked into the isle and stopped me and then demanded pets. I was super honored to do his bidding.

I have a love hate when I have to use the laundromat. Love that it is sort of fast hate the lugging all the supplies and my pockets loaded with quarters. I used the giant machine for the first time though because I was washing alllllll the blankets. Love that my laundromat has snacks next door.

Early, cold mornings at the pool.

I started taking ceramics classes at my local community college, last Feb actually. One of my first pinch pots has a dragon in honor of last year’s lunar new year.

This is the first bunny form I made. The assignment was to make a multiple pinch pots into a closed form rattle. So there’s a couple of ceramic balls inside that will shake and make a sound. And now I can’t stop exploring the shape.

I also threw this bowl and then altered it for my class and turned it into what I was hoping would’ve a bell but I totally glazed over the hole and I dropped it into the glaze bucket so the glaze went on wonky. But I want to try again. It was super cute at this stage.

My first thrown mug. It’s wonky & you can’t drink out of it because the rim is too wide but it’s holding pens at my house like a champ.
