Testing glazes on new dark clay. These were a matte white and matte green. The white came out this satin brownish color, and the green remained matte but a creamy white color. Very cool! Though not as bright as I usually go, this is great for some soil themed mugs. 😉

Testing out simple glaze combos on different clay bodies. I couldn't get my usual standard 266, so this is brown bear with speckles from @kentuckymudworks 🐻 gotta say, I love the speckles! It was also wonderful to throw with. Might have to try and snag up some more!

The tumbler featured in my day 3 of tea! This glaze combo had me perplexed for a bit. When I was first doing this I loved all the tones of green, blue, and yellow, with the brown of the clay peeking through. For a while now, I have not been seeing that, until this last kiln unload. I forgot that I'd originally been hand painting the layers, so went back to that. Its a bit longer of a process versus dipping, but the results are absolutely worth it! Come find it at the Blacksburg Farmer's market this weekend!

One of the exceptions to my usual bright color scheme is when I'm making mugs to look like soil profiles. This mug was designed to look like how a northeast forest soil progresses in color with depth. These soils are called Spodosols!
🤓
P.S. For those looking to support my kickstarter for a new kiln, there is 1 week to go! Link in bio 🦊

Plates! Just an assortment of plates I've made this past year. I wish I had a photo of these pastel ones I recently made, they were so cute!!
🤗
I'm in Salt Lake City, UT this week for a soil conference, but when I get home it's going to be all in on making items for several local venues, finishing some custom pieces, and then work work working on the studio. Fun!

What an awesome show this year for the Blue Ridge

What an awesome show this year for the Blue Ridge Potters Guild! It was awesome to meet a lot of you who follow my work - thank you for stopping by to say Hi!! If you couldn't make it, or are looking for pieces in the future, I'll be at the farmer's market a few weekends in Blacksburg late Nov and into Dec. Also, check out my Kickstarter (link in bio). It's a great chance to get some items in a design you want, and support my growing studio space!

There are two primary designs that I use to decorate my vessels. First up is a carved style with layers of colors. Second up is using underglaze designs. Second photo is a design I recently made - sleeping positions of my dog and his littermates. They are the cutest 🥰 I also use designs from others!
😁
Once I have the studio up and running there are sooo many other things I want to try out. Overglaze designs, lacquers, crackle glazes... so many things!! #excited
ALSO...
Come see me next weekend at the North Cross School in Roanoke on Sat and Sunday for the Blue Ridge Potters Guild Show!

I want to make big bowls like this in my backyard! Soon. Soooon.
🎉🥳
All I can think about and talk about is the studio we've been building. It's so exciting and I feel so greatful at being able to do this. Tomorrow I'm launching my Kickstarter to help fund the purchase of a kiln. If you've been wanting a piece of work, this is a great opportunity to support me and pick up a new piece just for you! Preview link to my page is up in my bio 😁

So many exciting things happening! We're finishing the roof up and laying shingles this weekend. I also just submitted my Kickstarter project for review 🥳😅 pretty nerve wracking actually. I'm super excited at the prospect of doing some fundraising for a kiln for the new space, and also excited to be able to make stuff for people supporting the project!

Another yarn bowl in a different style. I think my camera makes the "cat tail" cutout look huge! Thanks for the great feedback on my last post. I'll make some adjustments on the next few bowls. Smaller holes, multiple holes, and perhaps a slightly larger bowl.

The item you get asked about all the time, but don't make. Here's my first spooky yarn bowl. It has a wider base, though may need to be heavier, and I'm not sure about the yarn hole and size, but dang I wanted to make one in a skull shape! Knitters and crochet folks, let me know what you think, and what you look for in a bowl!
Edited to add: I've tried these before and would cut a spiral design for the yarn to guide through. I probably dried pieces too fast, the spirals were so fragile and always seemed to warp. Which is also why I wanted to try this skull shape.

Usually I'm adding tissue transfers to a buff or white clay, but hoping these white skulls look awesome on the dark brown clay.

SHOW UPDATE: the Floyd show for the first weekend of Oct has been cancelled. What this means is that I'll have more stuff up for my Etsy update (halloween and the usual stuff), and more Halloween stuff will be dropped off @beardancemarket in early Oct. We are still on for the Blue Ridge Potters Guild show Halloween weekend, and I'll have more details on that to come.

Not fired yet.. I've been waiting and now that the kiln is fixed, it is time! These are a custom set for some "ice cold" awesome folks.
I have a few other custom orders I can finally fire, though I feel so bad for the delay. Its hard when you're working in a community studio, even tougher when equipment goes out of order. I'll be thanking people a thousand times for their patience 🙏
