Morning in the studio…
Finding and cultivating joy can feel secondary in importance when we are faced with a democracy in crisis, but wise people keep reminding me that it is actually an essential part of fueling the resistance. Hoping you find some beauty and joy in your day. #potteryispolitical

Full kiln load!! Puppy is full to the brim. I don’t love glazing but I do love the results.

Another ‘before’ picture. The kiln is slowly cooling down. Underglaze painting on majolica. A mermaid speaking up. Never again for anyone #clay #pottery #notinmyname #potteryispolitical #artispolitical #canadianart #canadianceramics #potteryofbluesky #ceramics #céramique #ceramique #mermaids
Trying my hand yet again at majolica which I find so challenging yet so beautiful. #majolica #clay #pottery #art #potteryispolitical #freepalestine #notinmyname #potteryofbluesky #ceramics #ceramique
Bisque. Beautiful bisque!! Rows and rows of fresh cups and mugs and bowls.

I don’t usually have this much fun making mug handles!

Eating granola from this bowl this morning. My freedom cannot come from the oppression of others. #freepalestine #jewsagainstgenocide #potteryispolitical #art #artispolitical #pottery #clay #potteryofbluesky
Always measure the kiln!!! lol close fit. I actually had to bisque it in a bigger kiln lol.
Fingers and toes crossed this one will survive.
How’s everyone else Monday going?

Been wondering when I’d be ready to draw this one. Today was the day.

I didn’t sieve the majolica glaze hence the lumps but the message remains the same. Free Palestine 🍉. #majolica #freepalestine #potteryispolitical #pottery #clay #potteryofbluesky #notinmyname #ceramique
Having a little fun with color!

Some clay magnets I made this winter. Here they are in my fridge, before they moved out into the world

I’m going to start building my “wallpaper” today. I have newsprint and rice paper, and lots of stencils, underglaze and William Morris, Co. references.
I think I’ll go live on TikTok around 1pm Pacific.

One of my more interesting pieces. I learned a ton while making this.

Some bowls waiting to be fired. Channeling my rage into art. #freepalestine #pottery #canadianceramics #jewsagainstgenocide #potteryispolitical #clay
Flower Brick. I love the contradiction of the worn, weathered, patina'd exterior with the bright pop of pink on the interior, both of which remind me of my grandmother's house, but for different reasons.

A tray in the Deconstructed Dandelion series. I use an embroidered fabric to create the texture on the back. The front looks and feels like old barn wood.

Large ceramic plate with imagery of a girl standing on the earth out in space vacuuming up all the flowers and beauty while the rest of the planet burns.
Morning lovely humans. How’s everyone holding up?
Here’s a blast from the past but with #currentfeels
