Someone needs to order some mold making supplies so they can make screw-in silicone stoppers for all these little salty birds. 'Someone' is me. I am 'someone'.

Little clay cat statues I made during the summer and finally got back. The small one can fit into the big one like a nesting doll. #cats #pinchpot #pottery #ceramic

A hippo, a screaming flower ghost, and a walrus.
Oops I fell off the Internet and stopped posting. I've been making things here and there but not taking ANY decent photos until recently.

Bisque fired pinch pot with a wavy rim sitting on a wood table top. All around the pot are underglaze stripes that go from rim to foot, next to name of color. Stripes are in a rainbow order.
For the classes I instruct (summer quarter ended!), still slowly churning at underglaze layers as a cone 10 reduction sample to show.

Happy herb with this pinched marbled bowl 🍃 #pottery #marbled #agateware #medicine #handbuilding #pinchpot
Bowl being painted with underglaze in an Angkor inspired pattern. A central sphere extends in four floral fire designs, expanding towards the rim. Work in progress

My first art market! All the guys were well shaken and loved 😍. It was a lot of fun to see reactions to my art. Especially when people realized I wanted them to pick everything up and shake it 😅.

Natural stoneware tea bowl, made by pinching clay. The clay is still raw in this image. About 3.5" tall, with a rounded bowl shape at the base and sides that gently slope in towards the rim. The top has slight interruptions, these arise as natural textures in the clay arrive at the top of the tea bowl, and become an integral part of the structure of the vessel. These details were deliberately not smoothed out from the clay as I worked, so that the clay records both process and my choices, while exerting its own identity and nature into the piece. Also visible in the picture—some surface areas of the raw clay have dried paler. This is due to efflorescence, the result of natural soluble salts in the clay rising to the surface as the clay dries. This soluble material creates a little bonus glassy glaze on the surface, or sometimes a blush on the clay when it is fired.
Fired buff stoneware plates and bowls, with one glazed bowl at the front. Natural Alberta stoneware, with swirling, wave-like brushed black underglaze under a milky matte white glaze. Bowl is the perfect size for soup or oatmeal and fruit.
Love how these functional #stoneware #pinchpot samples turned out--left unglazed so that the audience at my talk could really feel the shapes, and see the textures left behind...right down to the creases made by my skin.

Two small bud vases sitting on a wooden shelf. A beige bud vase sits in front of a red bud vase.
Quick snap of two of my baby bud vases sitting in the Gathering US shop in downtown Boston. The pomegranate terra sig color in back has quickly become my favorite.

Sometimes a design comes me while I'm already under glazing. This was one of those times. And I loved it so much, I did it on all the cups I had formed! #ceramics #favoritemug #mugcollection #handmadegifts #handmadeceramics #teadrinkers #cozymug #pinchpot
There’s nothing additive or subtractive to a pinch pot. Just your paltry patience & pressure projected precisely into the clay. It’s the most intimate form of communion with the clay. #pinchpot #pottery #ceramics #clayart
A trio of green bud vases sitting on a wooden shelf
The last of their kind (for now, at least). This deep green didn’t make the cut for my final color palette. Still, it’s a pretty nice color - maybe it’ll make it into a special seasonal line…

Two new cups for tea this morning fresh from the kiln, one with red slip the other with cobalt blue. #teameditation #morningritual #pinchpot #cups #puerh #tea #prayingforpeace #prayingforsafereturn
Photo of four beige cups, one of which is a mug. Handmade, pinched pottery sitting on a shelf
A quick #shelfiesunday shot of my cups at @gatheringartisancollection . Each holds about 8oz and are perfect for sipping juice, tea, whiskey, or whatever brings you a moment of peace and relaxation.

Grape-fruit sized pouring vessel, with textured surface cause by hand-pinching the speckled stoneware clay. Toasty brown near the base with yellows and grey near the shoulder, yellow ash droplets on grey, and a pale robin's egg blue glaze inside.
Close-up on the shoulder of the pinched stoneware pourer, with flecks of yellowy-brown ash droplets that have deposited onto the clay in the wood-kiln. Clay is toast brown, though yellow with grey carbon-trapping, with a lovely pale blue inside.
🎶Intermission: small wood-fired pourer with a lovely ash-mossy shoulder. First bisque firing of 2025 underway, been a long wait for some days just above zero C. No pics of what went in the kiln—fingers crossed they survive…😅

Quite a few of my pieces start with 2 simple pinch pots. A pinch pot starts with a ball of clay. I stick my thumb into it and work the sides up & out until I have a bowl-like shape. Then, I put the 2 together and I have a hallow “ball.”

Big shakers need big hats 😍
Absolutely had a blast making some hats for these two. The pink hat reminds me of a strawberry. And I just love the glaze under the brim
