A few in-progress photos of "Meema's tulip bowl."

I threw this as one piece, but later learned that the more standard approach for creating pedestal bowls is to throw two separate pieces and attach them together. 🤷🏻

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 20: Meema's tulip bowl.

My grandmother (my Meema) painted a tulip bowl still life when she was 16; her painting now hangs in my home. I was admiring the bowl's shape and thought, "maybe I could make that!"

So here is my Meema's tulip bowl, brought to life.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 16: vivid sunset.

I love using underglazes to paint gradients on my pottery. This cache pot was inspired by a particularly vivid sunset on a clear day.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 15: homage to Na'nízhoozhí.

As a kid I visited my grandmother who lived in Gallup, New Mexico, and she would take me to nearby Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni galleries. I was thinking about the pottery shapes and colors of the artwork from that area as I worked on this vase.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 8: layers of blue.

I had a several month break in taking pottery classes, and was worried that I would lose the knowledge I had built – but to my relief I picked things up quickly again when I recommenced classes. ☺️

One thing I particularly love about pottery is the trimming process (see https://www.lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Pottery-tips/Trimming-a-pot-Lakeside-Pottery-Tutorial.htm ), and I enjoy carving layers and textures as part of that process.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 7: ruffled.

This was the first large-ish pot I made on the wheel. Someone put a dent in the edge, so I decided to go along with it and created a ruffled edge.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 4: put a lid on it! 

My first ever covered pot. It's functional! And currently it holds dog treats. 🐕

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 3: an early attempt at "collaring" (more on that here: https://kevinsceramics.com/collar-your-clay-in/#:~:text=Collaring%20refers%20to%20the%20process%20of%20gradually,adding%20elegance%20and%20functionality%20to%20your%20piece), a technique I learned in my intermediate pottery class in January.

Leading up to this year's winter solstice I'm participating in Art Advent Calendar. This year I'm trying to include only pieces that I worked on in 2025. Let's see how this goes. 😅

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 1: a pot I threw during a pottery class in January. The clay body is electric brown, with a blue-green glaze. I'm currently using the pot to root some lipstick plant cuttings.
