My little Dolly Pawton is not well, I’ve been preparing to say goodbye, and today’s news about Dolly Parton is not something I was prepared for at all. RIP Dolly Parton, you were an angel on earth, we will song your songs forever.

Dolly just caught a big fly, messed it up good, and left it for dead on the floor and I am going to have to go put that thing out of its misery because Dolly just put herself to bed. Sigh. #dogs

It always feels so weird when I accidentally kiss my dog on her eye. Anyway. Dolly enjoyed a nice weekend away in the woods and I got to go too, as her driver and blanket concierge. She’s always so kind to include me in her plans.

Calgarians are really coming together to look for Parker. He was last seen about 2 blocks from here. I went out last night to check a couple of places and saw 7 other people there checking, too. So many people out looking. Cops just checked my yard again. I hope he’s found safe, soon.

Welp, I ended up with 62 mugs, a little short of my goal of 100…. BUT I also glazed nearly 38 other pots this week (shifted gears to keep production rolling) so… I’m calling it a qualified success. I worked damn hard. And I’m working in my studio all weekend 🥳

Ok I’m only up to 24 completed mugs and 13 thrown… but I had to take 2 days off to see my dad, clean my house, and host a small dinner party. I’m back at it today. I still have until Friday to reach my goal of 100! (And my house is scream and I have lots of leftovers to eat, bonus!)

I hosted a taco bar dinner last night and to be fancy I pickled some radishes and red onion for toppings and gee, they look pretty!
A close-up of a hand holding a small jar of pickled radishes, outdoors in the sunlight, the liquid is bright red, like strawberry Kool-Aid, and the thin transparent slices of radish float in the liquid. A close-up of a hand holding a small jar of pickled red onion, outdoors in the sunlight, the liquid is bright pink, and the slices of onion are a very reddish pink all the way through. Little bits of chopped green parsley provide contrast in the brine.

I have 15 completed mugs, 9 thrown mugs (need trimming and handles), and I just wedged up 27 lugs of clay (approx 42 lbs) to try for a new personal one-day throwing record. Heading to the wheel. Trying to resist having a nap first lol.

Hippersons @hippersons.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
Ok I finished my first 9 mugs (trimmed and applied handles) and I threw 9 more… I’m not sure I can make it but I’m going to go even harder tomorrow!

I have a break between teaching pottery classes and I don’t have any days scheduled to work out in Bragg Creek for a bit… so I’m on a making spree. My goal is to make 100 mugs in 12 days. Can I do it?! 9 down (wanted to ease in), 91 to go…

New one for me last night. Power went out during pottery class. Amazing luck, the class was glazing (requires no power, as opposed to the pottery wheels!) and the studio’s emergency lighting is not too bad so everyone finished glazing as if by candlelight. My students were good sports!

This is some bullshit. NOW they’re all speaking out? Screw that. The UCP needs to go because they are making you and me pay for their stupid infighting. How much will this stupid referendum cost? Too much.

the world needs more guinea pig cartographers
A guinea pig cartographer works amongst his maps, using his instruments, with a quill and ink next to him on a wooden table; he looks at the viewer obliquely with a black background in a style that is reminiscent of early modern portraiture. The artist enjoys exploring the histories of art through homages to previous paintings in his whimsical works.
