I've just published a new video that has been quite a while in the making. I wanted to see how many different ways I could use the same textured placemat in my pottery, so it turned into a bit of a creative challenge and experiment. In the video, I explore several different techniques and projects, all inspired by the same simple tool. It was a lot of fun pushing the idea further than I originally planned. I've also included a giveaway because I ended up with more placemats than I need, and it seemed like a nice opportunity to share the fun with fellow makers! I'd love to hear which idea is your favourite if you decide to watch: https://youtu.be/Pc5yyGB3gGY

Kendall's doing alive and nobody's there but me.

I’m in the midst of a 4 week whirlwind that started just after my pottery market. I had to travel for a week-long meeting for work in St. Louis, MO. It was a 14 hr drive each way, but I made a couple of fun stops to KY Mudworks and The Ceramic Shop!. Home for a few days (got food poisoning 😳) and then a 9 hour drive to Virginia to visit my niece and new grand niece for a long weekend. My grand-niece is the most perfect baby 💗💗 and hubby and I took her hiking, I introduced her to clay and we thoroughly enjoyed the visit. I returned last night and have a gaggle of ladies coming to stay with me tomorrow for a couple of days before we head off for a 12 hour drive to Prince Edward Island, Canada for a week! These are all good things but it’s interfered with my ability to keep up here with all of you, on YouTube and my own pottery! (I will likely miss the Saturday Skool call again 🥺) I’m seriously going to go through withdrawals! The good news is that I’m bringing clay to PEI and showing my ladies group how to play with clay… I can’t wait! In the meantime, I will continue to miss this fabulous pottery family and I’ll try to check in as I am able… and I’ll have a lot of catch up to do after I return! You are all the BEST!! (Adding some photos of my whirlwinds)

i tried something different with this week’s pottery video — much more cinematic/fantasy styling and faster editing than my older kiln reveals. The dragonfly mug thumbnail may be my favorite thumbnail I’ve made so far 😄🐉 what do you think? https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiphhv_9ndC7_-bqM62jgeXqggU6I6298&si=xenLk2Cz8cmXAWFT

The third installment of my Route 66 Pottery Journey just went live on YouTube. It covers 4 parts: The Story behind B Mix, Glaze Production, Company history and comprehensive glaze information and tips from the person behind all the new glazes. I hope you will find this installment interesting. Even if you can't get Coyote glaze, the processes involved are common to all manufacturers. This was a rare opportunity and I came back home eager get back to my studio. I look forward to your reactions! https://youtu.be/rC5E3n0YzKE?si=ssYjPs-4ZAREB0Gg
