I watched Finkle’s latest kiln opening yesterday (she is so inspiring) and she had mentioned that her “sunset on route something or other” sold better than other glaze combos because it had a shared local experience that people could relate to. I immediately was inspired to do a “sunrise on McDill” mug to capture the sunrises I get over the little Wisconsin lake in the US I live on. I got to work late last night and layered all stable Laguna Versa and Amaco Celedons in an impressionist style on the outside and all reactive runny glazes on the inside mirroring the same colors gradients on the outside. Pray to your kiln Gods for me cause I am going to fire this mug tonight in my test kiln. 🙏 👻 Would you consider doing a local landscape glaze challenge. I think it could be fun especially because we are a global community of badass potters and the diversity in our locations would be beautiful to see in glaze. 🩷

Hello all of you lovely potters! This is a little bit late, but, better late than never. I’ve been trying to incorporate some sculptural work into my pottery, so, I took a sculpture workshop. This is what I made.

This month, I want you to make yourself an ice cream bowl. Not just any bowl, but your ice cream bowl.🍨 Create something that feels like you. Experiment. Play with your favorite colors, textures, or decorations. Try something you have always wanted to try. Make it bold, playful, elegant, or weird. Whatever reflects your personality.✨ And make it so unmistakably yours that it practically shouts, “Hands off! This one belongs to me!” 😄 I want you to open your cupboard and instantly know that this is not just another bowl. It is your special bowl, the one you always reach for when it is time for ice cream.🍧 I cannot wait to see what you create. Have fun, be creative, and do not forget to share your bowl with the community!🫶
