I conducted a survey about the often-predatory practice of asking consigning artists to provide unpaid labor to stores in exchange for waived consignment fees. Check it out here: bus20ceramics.com/blogs/franki...

Making art is not about creating a perfect, sellable result. It’s not even about ending up with a finished product. It’s about the practice. Its greatest rewards are internal.

Do you ever film a video and wonder if your entire social security number is somewhere in the background and you’re not gonna notice but it’ll be the first comment on the video and you’ll be so embarrassed you perish on the spot

People will go to insane lengths to try to justify the use of AI for creating art. Most recently I’ve seen content arguing that it makes art accessible. As a disabled artist I HEAVILY disagree. AI only makes art accessible if you think work made in the style of a disabled artist isn’t art

Worries are imagined realities, and creative people by nature can imagine and create worlds which don’t exist. It stands to reason then that creative people are uniquely predisposed to anxiety—and that creation in the right form could help alleviate it.

Back making pottery slowly but surely after my #fnd diagnosis! Thank goodness for my wet box which kept all my pots leather hard for months during this flare. Literally cried tears of joy seeing these mugs. I’ll never take my abilities for granted again

Glazing a 14lb amphora I threw before I got sick. It’s been sitting on a shelf waiting for me and it feels like the perfect time. A tribute to CMAT’s “I Wanna Be a Cowboy Baby!”

There are a lot of reasons why #handmadeart careers are dying. Between people expecting sweatshop pricing, SHEIN and Temu resellers infiltrating the handmade market, and stagnant wages for customers, it’s harder to make it as a handmade artist—at least without breaking your mind and body 1/5

Someone helped me create an accessible workspace today to help me cope with a recent disability. Would love to see people share how others have helped them lately. Maybe it will inspire us to be creative in how we help others. GIMME SOME IDEAS
