The plastic cup!! Comes in handy in the studio as I sometimes lose the round of the rim after attaching the handle. Also useful to push against when the rim is just a bit too wet. The little things … I could probably play with it all day. #ceramics #pottery #tools #useful #mugshot #handmademug

Round loaf of homemade sourdough bread with 3 long slits on top and rings of pale yellow. It’s sitting on a cutting board that is the same golden brown.

#blueskyartshow theme is #monochrome. Theme could also be #delicious. I baked this about 2 weeks ago. I need to wake up my #sourdough and get some more loaves going.

A rustic shallow bowl in a beautiful blue going to green then brown at the edges. Occlusions are visible as it is wild clay.

Day 13 #20pots20days
One of my all time favorites- and I still won’t sell it! Made with minimally processed wild clay taken straight out of my son’s yard. It’s a mustard yellow at bisque and then a beautiful red. #wildclay #ceramics #pottery #oftheearth

A peaceful mug depicting a dripping crescent moon, set on a snow covered plain with sparkling lights in the background

Day 10 of potter’s challenge. The heart in the middle just appeared! The perfect marriage of form and glaze. I couldn’t have planned that. #serendipity #ceramics #pottery #pottersofbluesky #loveblue #hearts

Day 7 of choose 20 pots.
This is a first attempt at bespoke decals. Used a matte glaze - I’ll be trying this again on a gloss.
But can we talk about my girl?!

A stoneware bone featuring a hand drawn Skelton dancing among flames. His arms are raised, but is he celebrating or suffering?

Day 4 of Pottery Challenge.
My amazing and progressive church is having a Souper Bowl fundraiser to benefit the soup kitchen, and I am donating these soup bowls. I really enjoy making work for a worthy cause!

Day 3 of Potter’s challenge
And the mug I reach for daily when I read Tr^mp news.

I didn’t love this bowl originally, so I added a different glaze and refired.
I love the way the glazes played together - not coexisting but each looking to make sure it’s heard. Unfortunately it also made the bowl not so functional. Such is pottery, amiright?

Choose 20 pots you’ve made, post 1 per day in no particular order.

Glazing this one today.

Just read a complaint in a thread about the rising cost of Medicare. In an attempt to console, someone else wrote in response, “well at least our Social Security will be tax free soon.” Who’s going to tell them? #socialsecurity #taxes

Sadly, not chocolate.
