Excited to announce that I’ve finally set up an online shop. I can only have 12 items at a time but I’m loading up the shop this weekend! Watch this space for announcements - they will probably go live next week

This glaze combo came out great. Very heavy coat of the textured Turquoise to start. #pottery #ceramicglaze #glazing

Some recent bowls with some fun glazing. #glazelayering #handthrown #pottery #ceramics #wheelthrown #handmade #ceramicbowls
Ceramic bowl with glaze cascading brown to green to blue down the outside and olive to a rustic light yellow on the inside. Ceramic bowl with Carmel and chocolate colored glazes swirling through the hand thrown pottery ridges on the inside and the chocolate colored glazes on the outside with less variation.  Ceramic bowl with glaze cascading with light Blue white green and brown down the outside and all white on the inside. Ceramic bowl with glaze dripping down from the rim in all colors like dripping rainbows into a deep reddish brown bottom on the outside and Carmel color to a rustic light yellow on the inside.

This guy’s child has cystic fibrosis- a disease where the life expectancy has doubled in his lifetime thanks to the research he is taking an axe to. Monstrous.

I burned my pinky and needed to keep it clean, so throwing was out, but I had some fun with hand building organic shapes and slip stenciling. #handbuilt #ceramics #pottery #coloredslip

He was meant to be a toothbrush holder, but the holes are too thin. Now he menacingly holds a scissors. Try and take it if you dare. #octopus #functionalart #pottery
Ceramic octopus with two of his eight arms formed in circles to hold things. A scissors through one of them.

In love with this Coyote glaze, Ice Blue, with its clear ice finish at the top that gives way to the cloudy veins of earthy surprises to ground the piece. Always a surprise and always beautiful. #coyoteglaze #iceblue #pottery #art #functionalart

Getting this piece ready to be auctioned. Photographing these shiny glazes is alway difficult. I want to capture all the swirling universes that you can see in person. #gingerjar #bluejasper
