New Kiln! So excited to let my creativity fly.

Been stocking up on some pottery supplies before the tarrifs hit. These babies arrived today. Should last a while.

My throwing’s improving 😊

Couple pieces from the kiln. Loving the satin patina glaze.

I tried some foot rings! Hooray for trimming day! 🤎

Emmy holds a small palm sized plate with high sides. Half the plate has been glazed in a dark green and the other half is a speckled white.

I’m trying to be better about not defaulting to instagram to post stuff, but it’s hard.
anyway here’s a plate I made a couple weeks ago. #beginnerpotter #pottery

Trimming the bases of my wheel-thrown pots when they’re slightly dried out, to give a more pleasing shape. These are the biggest I’ve thrown so far, quite pleased with them. With more experience this shaping should be done in the throwing, but I’m not there yet.

Making some small cups. #handbuilt #beginnerpotter

I need to find time to get back on the wheel, improvement will only come with regular practice but my days are filled with weaving… so many ideas, not enough hours!

Showing off the tiny vase I made using my daughter's Lego orchid, since we don't have any fresh flowers 😂. #beginnerpotter #wheelthrown

Best piece so far! Only been at this for 4 months, and have been loving every minute of it.

My ACOTAR inspired clawed bowl has finally been fired and I am super happy with the final piece. #pottery #beginnerpotter

I might be channeling something here. Either it’s feminine rage or the fact I am currently reading the ACOTAR series. #pottery #beginnerpotter

Some glaze experiments from the kiln. #pottery #amacoglazes #beginnerpotter

First handbuilt pitcher progress. Spout has been added as well as a handle. Now I'm waiting for bisque. #pottery #handbuilt #beginnerpotter

New pottery project in class. It's supposed to eventually be a pitcher. It may end up being a vase? 🤷🏼‍♀️ We'll see what it wants to be. #pottery #handbuilding #beginnerpotter

This one’s nearly ok. You can’t see from this angle but the hole’s wonky 😂

Set of incense burners just out of the kiln. Not entirely successful: I was a bit over-enthusiastic with the glazing and painted over the holes 🙄, but it’s nothing Best Mate can’t fix with a tiny drill bit.

Feeling blessed my coping mechanism for intense emotional trauma is skill learning - cause now I get cool bowls along with being unstable #beginnerpotter

Last bunch from the kiln #pottery #beginnerpotter
