I’ve been making bedside water bottles for years but I don’t make them very often. They’re inspired by Mexican botellones—small clay water jugs with an accompanying cup which serves as a cover. Sometimes the cup has a handle. I’ve also discovered a Congolese version of the botellón. It’s such a simple and effective idea that it’s no surprise it would appear in multiple cultures. #pottery #ceramics #beautility
After I left this exhibit, everything else looked gray by comparison.

A couple favorite Earth Tone pots from my last kiln load. I sent them to a gallery this week for an upcoming show. The theme is geometric patterning. I can’t wait to see the work from the other makers. It will be very cool to see everyone’s pottery grouped together—unique, yet united by a common theme. #pottery #ceramics #WildClay
Just did a kintsugi workshop today as birthday gift from my wife. Even though we didn't get to do the entire process ourselves (takes over a month) and didn't use real gold (it's a tin alloy), it was an awesome experience! Hoping to find the time to do a proper course in the future.

I was given the recipe for the off-white glaze I use by another potter and it was a game changer for me. Before that, I was using glossy opaque glazes that completely covered my red stoneware clay whose color I loved so much. For years, I would compensate by wiping glaze away from certain sections to let the iron rich clay body show. Finding this glaze made my work more subtle and rustic, recalling antiqued or rusted surfaces worn with age. #ceramics #pottery
Some crater lakes amidaty mountains I am rather pleased with 🥰
The second is a take on some red weed that has crashed. I have to try piping slip instead of rolling coils to get it where I want!
I just found out about #Kiln Share—an app that allows you to find people in your area who will let you fire #ceramics in their kiln at low cost. If you don’t already have a membership, ceramics studios often charge a crazy amount per piece to fire, so this is great. I’m going to list my kilns later today. I see that there’s one other shared kiln in my town. I’m curious who they are and I’m interested to see how this may connect me to other ceramic artists in my area. https://www.kilnshare.com/en/sign-up/form/
