    Thank you so much for being a member of our community!

  2. @CatsWander Thank you! Do you really think they’d be popular? This is a gift for a friend and I hadn’t considered making them as a regular production item. Sometimes it’s just fun to see what you can make out of #clay. At times it feels like you can just make anything at all—whatever you can think of. It’s an incredible material.

    when I did wheel thrown pottery, the studio I worked at adopted a stray cat

    as it happens, wheel thrown pottery requires a (4 litre, 1 gallon) bucket of water, sitting in easy reach of the wheel, to lubricate the potter's hands, sponges, and other tools. Before every step, first, you use a small sponge to get a little water out of the bucket and put it on the clay,

  4. There's some really talented folks on the Fedi. Right now, I'm listening to an album by @alisynthesis's old band, Voodoo Economics. I'm sharing this track because it strikes me as particularly beautiful and complex--and it happens to mention #clay. Check it out if you like experimental, genre-defying music. It's just so well done.

  5. I'm circling back to Ben Carter's "Tales of a Red Clay Rambler" #podcast. I have a lot of #clay friends but most of them aren't local and are spread out across the country and overseas. It's a good feeling when I'm working alone in my studio to overhear conversations between clay artists that are thoughtful, funny, illuminating and inspiring. Sometimes they're about hardship--like the one with Julie Wiggins about the impacts of Hurricane Helene on the NC clay community. talesofaredclayrambler.com/epi

  6. Nothing like a good cup of coffee on a Sunday morning! (don't get me wrong, the coffee is shit but the cup is good, I'd say) ☕🌞

    I used too much water on the wheel, so it got a little wonky, but I think I covered it up quite well. Didn't add a handle, so you have to touch the boobies for grip. 🌝

    Bonus: it's in the colours of my eyes!

  7. A few months ago Claire van Damme a student from @designacademy Eindhoven visited the pottery here in Steyl and she made these pictures. It's always nice to see the pottery from someone elses perspective.

    Today is August 1st. One year ago, she'd been awake for a month. The first thing that changed was music. I signed up for a music app so she could listen to whatever she wanted — before that, I'd gotten out of the habit of listening to almost anything. Audiobooks in the car, headphones at home, nothing that asked anything of me. Now I dance in the apartment, in the car, moving to whatever she picks. Not full-on dancing in public yet, but close. I sing at home even when I don't know the […]
