Make make make. Approaching my deadline for making pieces for Steppin' Out since I'll be away in Maine next week 😬 these next few days are going to be a grind, but I am SO excited to be in an outdoor show again. For those in the area, come say hi August 6th and 7th in downtown Blacksburg!

Chicken mugs in the works. A few simple ones and a few with added decoration like this! I'll be saving all of these for Steppin Out Aug 6 & 7. Come see me (once I figure out where I am). Yikes! Time is moving quickly, lots of work to do 😅

Picked up this lovely bouquet from @stonecropfarmers at the market yesterday. Perfect for displaying in my little vase, fresh from the last glaze kiln. Love the flowers! Love the vase!

Hello!! I just wanted to take a moment and introdu

Hello!! I just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself a little as its been a while. Most of you know me as the account Odd Fox Pottery, others by Stephanie/Steph, or even, "the woman with the pink hair".

I'm a self taught potter who has been making pots for about 6 years now. I'm more of a hobbyist I suppose, since making pots isn't my full time gig. I mostly work off of the porch at my home and then fire and glaze my work in a studio space at the local YMCA, where I also teach handbuilding classes from time to time. I miss classes!

Outside of making pots, I am working on my PhD in Forestry (technically), but all of my academic research is on soil. (Can we say, more clay?!) I do so much digging... but there's lots of beauty underfoot, let me tell yah. I have a wonderful husband who helps keep me sane and is especially awesome when he helps me out at shows. I also have some of the cutest dogs ever... pictured here: Riker (cardigan corgi on left), River (pembroke corgi on right), not pictured is my best old lady, Lexa.

I'm so glad you're all here, thank you for sharing this experience together and for supporting me and my pots!

I love the ombré fade on with this patrern specifically. I see dragons, what does this make you think of? I've heard snakes, mermaids (mermen), and fish of course. Its also just a darn big mug for big coffee (or tea) days.

Some (but not all) of the plate details for a recent custom order. I've found that when I'm making plates I'm never asked for a set of the "same". Usually I'm given a color pallette, in this case, a mix of green, blue, yellow, and brown and asked to make a bunch of random designs. This one was extra challenging since I don't use those colors all too often in my normal work, sooo I made a bunch extra to see which came out the best 😄 off they are to their new home to be loved!

It's been so long since I've made these platter trays. I finally mixed up some new colored slip for some transfer action. Here's hoping they come out as good as I remember #wip

Made for a friend who rolls so bad in our D&D sessions that she thinks she's cursed. So this mug is aptly named "the dice are trying to kill me".

Bawk, bawk. The pink is a little light on this clay and harder for me to capture in the light. But, who doesn't like chickens under the clouds?

In hindsight, maybe the stars should have been above the clouds, but whatever 🙃 I wasnt sure what to expect with these colors on this clay, but I like the outcome!

Hello Everyone! Happy New Year! (weeks later) Here

Hello Everyone! Happy New Year! (weeks later) Here's wishing everyone a better year than last, though it might take some time for the "good" to ramp up.
👋😊
Thank you for hanging around while I've been MIA. I apparently needed a few weeks off to recharge, which means hiding away from everyone and everything (except for my husband and dogs who aren't so lucky 😂).
I haven't made anything these past few weeks, but now I'm finally ready to get back to it! I'm excited to share some new things, and connect with all of you lovelies here. ❤️

Thank you everyone who has followed along with my

Thank you everyone who has followed along with my posting of pots this year, and to all of those who have purchased pots for yourselves and loved ones. I am flattered and humbled. You really contribute to making my crafting more fun.
❤️
I'll be taking a few weeks off from making, but am also excited to start the new year by playing around with some new things, like perfecting tea spouts, making homes for plants, and who knows what else. I'll also have a small shop update after the new year!
🎉🎊
Take care of yourselevs, love yourself and each other, spread joy and kindness, all of that. Also, if you're having a tough time, and need someone, anyone, I am always around to chat. I mean that.

A few weeks ago I did an art trade with the lovely @hyperspace_pandas, a mug for her mom, in return for a fox drawing. I saw one she did for inktober, and just loved it. So this is what she did for me! I've been bad with keeping up to date with things, but really its so overdue. Thank you for this, it brings a huge smile to my face every day. Art trades are the best!

Drinking tea at the table and feeling like a functional human. I just cleaned everything up and added some dried flowers from @stonecropfarmers to the mix. Organized my slew of "coasters" (that patiently wait for game night). What a good morning, I hope yours are all going well ❤️

Hello! Just saying hi since I've been quiet the last few weeks. Part of that was being a hermit and having some quiet relaxation time for the holiday, the other reason is that I've been making a bunch of stuff. Today I wanted to share a preview of the new thing-type I've been working on - teapots!!
🥳
I keep getting requests for these, and I've got to tell yah... they are not easy to make WELL and its a bit of a learning curve for me. Mainly getting the spout and flow dynamics right. I dont even know if these will make it, but dang, I'm giving it a good try.

I haven't made these in... Oooh a few years, but felt it was time again. Little cream or syrup pitchers. I love them, even if they're one of those items you can live without. Somehow... tea time just feels better with milk from a pot.
