Back to basics day over here, making pinch pots using mid-range #nzporcelain from @clayartcentertacoma. So smooth and refined to the touch after working with stoneware for the last few firings. A little practice challenge is always fun, right? 🤓 Here, it was to pinch different bud vase forms one after another as quickly as possible, using the same weight in clay. Happy Friday!

She explained that this watercolor of one of my large pots is called ‘Weed Pot’ because she gathered some roadside grass for an arrangement and it looked so beautiful. Love it! 😍Thank you! Gives me a clap of joy to know my work is enjoyed in all the little ways. This lovely couple was the one that inspired me to call my little bulbous bud vases ‘Roadsidia’ because he said, “You could put anything in it and it will look nice, even grass by the road.” 😂

Had perfect weather for my guest teaching spot @maryjaneceramics. We sat outdoors pinching ‘body mugs’ with birdsong for music while sharing many stories and laughs—my favorite part about gathering and making together. Thank you to Mary Jane for the opportunity!

Having a little fun with forms. Just had to break up the day pinching round sauce bowls. 🐥

Beautiful afternoon light in the studio to make pinch pots by. Trying out this @lagunaclay B mix with speckles. So far, it is easy to handle and holds its shape nicely for handbuilding.

Hand-stitched + Handbuilt = perfect pairing for your tea ritual.
