Come visit the Starflower Studios gang this First Friday, downtown Bham! #bellinghamwa #artwalk #pottersofbluesky #starflowerbellingham #womenwhowoodfire #ceramics #claylife @starflowerstudios.bsky.social

I went from 0 to 2 tattoos in 1 week! Fiery mug by my dear friend, Erica; starflower by my dear daughter, @frolickingfawn.bsky.social, who’s preparing to launch her tattooing career at @starflowerstudios.bsky.social, downtown Bham.

There’s a surprising amount of color appearing on my shelves of bisque ware. It’s almost time for wood/salt/soda firing!

Who’s excited for #nceca?! (And who’s feeling like our friend in the back?)

Look at my coil-built workshop demo piece post-anagama firing! Thank you for sending the pic, @mikeolsenceramics.bsky.social !
I had so much fun teaching that workshop and meeting so many wonderful folks in Australia last September.

My first two hand-woven baskets—affectionately dubbed, “Laurel & Hardy”.

A studio vignette for #makermonday. It feels good to have filling shelves and still plenty of space to move around. I’m in love with my new creative haven, @starflower.bellingham.

I love mine like this. 🤗

Teaching a workshop! What better way to spend a stormy Sunday? Thanks for having me, Baker Creek Ceramics!

I love this one!

Getting back into teaching my coil-building workshop has sparked a lot of fresh inspiration in my own work.

Wait, that’s not pottery!
I tried a new craft today. It’s nice to use my brain differently and I appreciate the focus required. I am excited to explore the possibilities of basketry. Stay tuned for eventual completion of this little waxed linen darlin’!

We did! It’s a California Condor.

Some scenes from spontaneous adventures in San Diego this week.

Lovely!

Ooh, I like it!

Snakes…why did it have to be snakes?
They’re speaking to me right now.

I took a little snake break.

You know I was, but I finally did it: deactivated the whole meta shebang. And now the work of rebuilding elsewhere begins. Feels pretty good at this moment. Ask me again in a couple of weeks…🤞

I opted to deactivate instead of delete at this point. Here are the steps: help.instagram.com/728869160569...

Does this make you dizzy? 😵‍💫

My “Ice Bucket” is on its way to Companion Gallery in Tennessee for #LastCallX! I can’t wait to see all the work selected by juror Carly Slade when the show opens in March.
