Where is my pottery mojo??
Hi everyone, I have not been active on this platform at all sorry, I am finding social media so overwhelming. In fact I am finding life a little overwhelming at the moment. I haven't been able to talk myself into my studio for the last three days, and I have to get back i to it. I have medieval events coming up that I really have to get things done for. I love pottery and feel extremely privileged that it is my full-time, but lately I walk in to my studio look around and just don't know where to go next and end up walking out again. I also have several videos waiting to be edited to go up on my Shoebox Studio Ceramics YT channel, but I can't seem to talk myself into completing them either. It's so frustrating, having so much to do, but feeling unable to do any of it. Do you fellow potters ever get like this, especially those that are full-time potters? How do you get yourselves out of the darkness and back into the joy of pottery? I didn't know you have to select a category for your post, couldn't decide what this should of gone under, Fails, General, Question? I went with Question, I hope that is ok? Much love to you all x

Oh Jane, first of all, thank you for being this honest and vulnerable with this community. A real sign of strength is sharing like that and you have heaps! 💗 (Brene Brown taught me that and I’ve seen it played out day after day in the corporate world) When you write that you feel guilty when you don’t do pottery I translate that to: even when you’re resting you’re being hard on yourself and therefore not truly resting. And that, my clay friend, is hard on you. I am guilty of that myself (ha, see the double entendres there 😜). When you feel that guilt I wonder if you will consider saying out loud “stop.” That is a trick that a therapist once gave me… it disrupts. When I’m in that space I work to get myself to where I am actually taking a nice break and enjoying myself so I can refill that battery. It’s so much work for those of us who feel guilt when we rest. But to answer your question, I’ve been there with my day job that I’m passionate about and I’ve been there for pottery which brings me so much joy. I don’t have clear answers for you but hope that you will prioritize yourself as you move through this space and time. It will be hard. You have given so much to this community and on a personal level to me because I’ve always loved and admired your genuine nature and your art. You are so worth prioritizing 💗💗💗

🌿 May Challenge: “Alles Neue bringt der Mai” 🌿
This month, we’re diving into glazes. Inspired by Sarah from Three Little Potters, this challenge is all about testing, exploring, and rethinking what we already have. We all have those glazes. The ones we rarely reach for. The ones we tend to avoid… because they never quite turned out the way we hoped. Colors that feel off. Results that disappoint. Tests that didn’t go as planned. So this month, we’re choosing one of them. ✨ Pick one glaze you don’t like (or don’t trust yet) ✨ Combine it with 5 different glazes you already know and trust ✨ Test them layered, top & bottom, side by side — get curious ✨ Share your results How you do it? Completely up to you. Test tiles, small dishes, a cup, a plate… everything on one piece or separate tests — there’s no right or wrong way. This is about experimentation.🧪🔬 Try unusual combinations. 🤪 Push it further than you normally would. Be bold with it. At the end, take a moment to reflect: What worked? What didn’t? What surprised you? The goal isn’t perfection. It’s discovery.💡 And maybe, just maybe, the glaze you’ve been avoiding comes back to life. ✨ Share your process, your tests, your results ✨ Let’s learn from each other ✨ And turn “unloved” glazes into something unexpected

This is a fantastic idea! It’ll at least force me to use up some of these cruddy glazes that I purchased for who knows what reason! I’ll have to narrow it down because I have I think 7.

Our new showroom
I thought I would share our work in progress of our Rusty, Dusty,Old Farmhouse showroom in a converted horse trailer. We are thinking of just leaving to door open and putting a ring camera on it if passerby people stop by to look. Amazon guy was impressed lol. We are still decorating and will decorate sesonally too. Half the pottery and craft work went to Oregon this week, so we need to get busy again. On the second Saturdays of each month we open the doors an offer free pottery lessons on the wheel , hand building project and jewlery making to draw people in as it is a very low traffic location. We have several people signed up and a troop of 5 girlscouts for May 9th. I may film the event and post on youtube. It's a fun way to help and enjoy the people in our small community as well as hopefully make some sales and create new potters!
