Caliope celebrates #Caturday by snuggling up and snoozing on mom’s arm.

A freshly thrown wide and shallow bowl made with red clay.

Worked with a new red clay today. It was extremely soft and easy to work with, and required extra caution not to use too much water and collapse the walls. This large wide bowl will be the basin for a bird bath. I’m obsessed with the color and can’t wait to see it fired.

This is something to celebrate! National popular vote for the Presidency could be a reality in the near future. www.nationalpopularvote.com/state-status

Thank you for this. I have been muting keywords to try to keep my feeds clean of so much negativity all the time. Hopefully this helps.

My girl cat is a lunatic but she’s also the sweetest and cuddliest. She might prefer to sit directly on top of my head instead of my lap, but she’s certainly sweet.

New cat trees for the house velociraptors. I think they like them!

First big batch for an upcoming garden market is back from the kiln! I was nervous about some of these glazed but love how they came out.

Ceramic yarn bowl drying

Ceramic yarn bowl drying

Reclaimed my first attempt at a yarn bowl and tried again. Much happier with pots 2 & 3. Can’t wait to see how these come out.

I just ordered some. I love the idea of not cutting the entire spiral at once too. Definitely going to try that. Thanks!

I have magic erasers. Never thought to try them with pottery. Thank you!

Interesting. I’ve never seen a tool line this before. Not too expensive either. Thank you!

Thank you! So much to learn and so many repetitions. But I love it!

Thanks Winter. I tried that and it worked okay for the outer part of the swirl but I couldn’t get into the narrow area. Ended up using a flat sponge and broke the swirl off. Reclaimed the piece and will have to try again.

A leather hard ceramic bowl with a swirl cut out intended to use to control how yarn comes out. The swirl is nice but messy.

I could use some tool help. First attempt at a knitters bowl. If you zoom in, the edges of that swirl cut out are a mess. I ended up breaking it trying to smooth them out. I have cheap newbie tools and haven’t splurged on decent ones yet. What kind of tools are better suited for this? #pottery

Having some fresh OJ this morning in a cup I made myself with a juicer I made myself makes me feel like a pioneer woman. Bring it on work week.

Trump did not destroy US democracy, he revealed that it never existed.
Overthrowing him won't bring back the thing that wasn't there. It needs to be created for the first time.

I’m so glad to see you on bluesky!

This is my favorite thing about pottery. The outside world melts away for a few hours. You get to focus on just one thing and at the end you have handmade things you created yourself. It’s blissful.

What a great concept! As a void lover, I’d drink from this everyday.

I can agree with you on people needing to contribute more then they take. Not sure about them not being here otherwise. Some people just cant. But I’ve seen your work and its really good, so I think you are good. Keep creating. Live another day.

Because everyone makes mistakes. You, me, and everyone up and downstream from you in this mistake. I don’t know the full situation so I can’t say if you damaged anyone’s life, but I do know that you’re human and we are prone to error.

Apples, we all screw up. I accidentally left 20 pounds of my new clay out and exposed to air and it dried up. Mistakes happen. The world is crushing us all enough at the moment. Be gentle with yourself.

What are we looking at? What went wrong?

This is so disturbing. I dont understand how they expect us to just keep carrying on like nothing is happening. Heart breaking

Okay it’s decided. I love the glaze.

Huge personal news: We launched the Parnas Perspective podcast feed less than 24 hours ago, and we debuted at the number 6 slot on Apple podcasts, beating Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro, and more.

Listened to your podcast yesterday. Shared and rated. Thank you for posting here too. I ditched tiktok the day before the change of ownership and am glad to see you and other creators here.

Hand thrown ceramic jars.

Some new jars back from the kiln today. I’m loving the forms, but not sure about the glaze yet. #pottery #pottersky

Thank you!
