For those of you who could not join us live yesterday, or would like to watch the session again, the recording of yesterday’s Group Call is now available. 📹💛 I’d also like to remind you about our upcoming 24 Hour Community Call this weekend. 🎉 We will be spending a lot of time together, and I’d love for as many of you as possible to stop by. 🌍☕ Please remember: there is absolutely no pressure to stay for long periods of time. 💕 You can join and leave whenever it suits you using the Live button. Whether you have five minutes or a few hours, we would be happy to see you there. 😊 The idea is simply to create an opportunity for everyone, regardless of their time zone or schedule, to spend some time together. ⏰✨ As a small challenge, I would love for everyone who joins to share one of their favorite pottery pieces. 🏺❤️ It could be something you have made recently, an older piece you are especially proud of, something you purchased, or even a piece that was gifted to you. 🎁 If you would like, tell us a little story about it, how it came to be, why it is special, or what it means to you. I think it will be a wonderful way for us to get to know each other better through the work and objects we love. ✨🤗 I am also hoping to get a kiln firing started on Friday so that we can do a live kiln opening on Saturday. 🔥🏺 If everything works out, I would love to combine it with a YouTube video as well. 🎥 I am still figuring out the logistics, but I think it could be a lot of fun. 😄 Many of you have mentioned that you would love to meet some of our Australian potters, 🇦🇺🦘 and this weekend everyone will have the chance to connect with community members from all over the world. 🌎💛 I am really looking forward to spending the weekend with you all. 🥰 Join whenever you can, stay as long as you would like, and let’s make it a fun and memorable event together. ✨🎉 See you this weekend! ❤️

Grand kids! It's Aero's 3rd birthday. He wanted donuts. The younger one is Kodiak, Kodiak for short. My daughter, Kitty, made the cake from scratch.

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!

Can you please share any tips, tricks, tutorials for how to use gelli plates for ceramics? I am interested in using a gelli plate and I have a little one, but I’m having a hard time doing anything other than screenprinting on it. I’d like to try other things!

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!🫶
