I had the pleasure and honor of meeting @Lori Turner , her hubby Tim, and @Kendall Carpenter today. Plus, Lori and I will be part of one of Kendall's upcoming videos! It was a great day!

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!🫶

It's always special to meet another potter in person. I had dinner with @Kimberly Cook yesterday. Today I'll meet @Angela Petty , @Lori Turner and @Kendall Carpenter .

Many months ago, Pat suggested that we make something in a way you normally wouldn't make it. So here, I've made a base that looks coil built (it's thrown and carved) and finished to look like crackle raku with copper inside (using Cone 6 glazes). I hope you like it. PS Make sure you zoom in!

Hi All! I will be traveling from the Richmond, VA area to Kansas City, MO on July 1 - 2. Along the way I will meet up with @Kimberly Cook @Angela Petty and @Lori Turner . While in KC, I will meet up with Lisa Stacy. From KC, I will be driving to Georgetown, TX. If there are any potters along that route who wish to meet for coffee, lunch, etc., let me know. I will be making that trip on Monday, July 6th. It's an 11 hour drive, so frequent breaks are welcome. From Texas, I will be heading back to Virginia somewhere in the July 10th through the 12th, taking my time and splitting the drive up into 2 or 3 days depending on the route. Maps offers 3 main routes, as shown in the image below. I'm sure there are pottery peeps along this route, if you want to meet up. Please comment below or send me a private message!
