Yesterday we took our family to our favorite #nature park in #Louisiana. It was my 3 month old nephew’s very first hike and the first place I ever found #WildClay years ago when we lived in Baton Rouge.

Had a great time chatting with @firesidefedi today. We talked about #zines, #PunkRock, #WildClay, community engagement, #NigerianPottery, #KaaboClay, what another version of me is doing in a different timeline, and more.
Glad to be connecting to kind folks in the Fedi and adding to #PeerTube content which will hopefully serve to bring more ppl over. Thanks for inviting me, @firesidefedi!

My new crackly pot inspired another blog post because 500 characters just isn't enough.
"The cracks have a beautifully raw quality, like a dried lake bed or elephant skin. They’ve come to feel like a map of this place: a visual echo of our fractured geology, our sinkhole-prone foundation, our porous aquifers and eroding coasts. The fragility of the sig surface mirrors the fragility of the land itself."

I was invited to make pieces for an upcoming ewer show. The concept was inspired by the gallery owner’s experience beginning to #garden with his family, enjoying the bounty daily, and using #handmade ewers to drizzle olive oil and vinegar over fresh veggies. I love making pots that pour, so the prompt was a welcome challenge, allowing me to combine multiple elements that I’ve practiced over the years. How would you use these pots?
