This is the way (hump/slump)

Coiled edge, duh 😂sorry, couldn’t resist.
Many of my early pots had a tortured edge.

Ha, pottery supply hoarding 🙌. People are starting to hoard toilet paper again because of the tariffs, and I’m trying to figure out what glaze chemicals to hoard 😂😭

Those came out amazing, congrats!

That green glaze 💚

Love that tiny opening, so unexpected!😍

Ceramic cactus pot, made with layers of red, tan, and white clay, with mixed collected gravels added. Carved to resemble canyon walls.

New cactus pots. Working on more of this canyon series for Cactus Market ATX in Austin, May 10 at Live Oak Brewery.

I love simple pull holes like that

One chair to rule them all

Geeze, those lines are tight 😍 I wanna put my kids Lego figures in those chairs!

Maybe an ice cream cake 😆

Showoff 😉

These boxes are fantastic! I love the inset lids.

Thank you!
I love your little jars! I’ve been working on some containers and the lids are humbling me.

Thank you. I needed “following” literally spelled out for me 🙏
That said, now I get why folks are making a separate Bluesky account for flashes. The news stuff looks terrible in my feed, and it’d be nice to have a break from it while in flashes.
Off to make a personal news account…

Thank you! 😊

Super cool! About how many seeds is that?

Nice and crunchy!

Yeah, I’ve done quinoa and rice, the quinoa sprouted! Both got moldy, so I’ll might try in the summer & leave the pots outside until firing, gets so hot and dry in July I don’t think the organic materials could mold 😅
I am curious how the little planer curlies would fire…might look like wormy wood.

I’ve got a bag of planer shreds I’m saving for something… and a bucket of used walnut shell blast media…I keep thinking I’ll wedge them into a pot for some interesting voids. But I’ll probably just mix them into the yard mulch next time I do a big clean. Gotta stop the hoarding.

The car roof is the only clean surface!

Mammillaria gracilis or “thimble cactus” in a 3”x5” pot. The exterior of the pot is cut and torn. The interior is hollowed out, a foot carved, and a nice big drain hole cut. This is glazed with oxides and local waste ash from a BBQ joint.

Mammillaria gracilis in our tiny kurinuki planter. I found these little cuties at East Austin Succulents.
