A few weeks ago I made a post about using dried flowers for the first time with my nature impressions work. Here a few of the results. I didn’t fire all the work from that batch, because I wanted to see how they turned out before glazing and firing them all. Thoughts? Suggestions?

What a hard week for empaths in this country who believe in human rights for all and the First Amendment, eh?! Well, when I pulled this one out of the kiln it made me smile a little, so I wanted to share a little rustic rainbow love with you all, too. ✌️ 🌈 ✊

Finding peace, joy, and so much life here on the farmstead refuge the past few weeks! When I drive by the majority of homes and see manicured lawns with nothing but grass, the void of life makes me sad.

Hello! Here are few pieces from my most recent #grapehyacinth collection. One thing we did last fall was plant these bulbs in a variety of places scattered about in areas that receive varying amounts of sunlight.

Just 2wks ago I posted a pic of these #rhubarb bursting out of the Earth with Spring fervor! Just cut my first batch🙏💚 It’s nice anytime, but especially these days, to be as self sufficient as possible! #smallscalefarm #regenerativegrowing #regenerativefarming #farmstead #michigangrown #homestead

Planted #asparagus last spring so I’m excited to see them emerging this year!! Well let them all go again without harvesting them, but maybe next year we’ll cut a few. Aren’t they so cool coming out of the ground like this!?! #farmstead #regenerativeagriculture #sustainablefarming #organic

You know it’s truly spring when #grapehyacinth season begins☀️🪻😀 Changing my art with the seasons is fun and also helps keep my work small batch and unique. Here’s to pops of spring color bringing pops of hope…✌️🌈✊ #ceramics #pottery #pottersofbluesky #ceramicmugs #natureart #slabpottery #handbuilt

One thing keeping me somewhat grounded while the coup is replacing our #democracy with #fascism has been the hatching of #paintedturtles in our yard! So far we've helped 32 to the pond! We even saw 4 emerge from the ground. It’s been truly special. Enjoy the compilation. More to come. #natureheals

Even with instability, rights being stripped, and lives being destroyed by fascist policies, the cycles of Nature continue. Yes, the #climatecrisis impacts these cycles, but I still find peace and comfort in them. And #rhubarb is so dang pretty AND tasty! Daydreaming about rhubarb mojitos☀️😎 #farming

My little #pine mug forest from the last firing😁 As the seasons shift I’ll be transitioning from pines to flowers! Since I use real foliage, flowers, etc, my nature imprint work evolves with the seasons. Each piece is truly one of a kind. #natureart #natureheals #mugs #ceramicmugs #pottery #clay

#handsoff protest in Lansing, MI. Regardless of your political affiliation, if you’re a working class American, I hope inform yourself and join the movement. Otherwise, our country will be ruined by a very small percentage of the wealthiest who could care less about any of us. #workersunite #resist

For this final part 3 video I’m brushing my “stem mix” underglaze in the imprints. Then I use a clear glaze on top. That part is boring so no video for that😁 Please call your rep to demand they oppose HR 22 SAVE Act (voter suppression)! #pottersofbluesky #art #artivism #resist #ceramics #pottery

Did some weeding today and were in awe at how many earthworms with each dip into the soil. Thankful for each of these sentient beings and to have learned about #regenerativefarming several years back. Doing what we can to create #healthysoil and live in #reciprocity with the land🙏🪱✌️ #organic #worms

Part 2 is when the imprint begins coming back to life! Stay tuned for a couple more installments since the process takes much longer than the 1min video Flashes allows. #ceramics #ceramicglazing #wip #underglaze #handbuiltpottery #slabbuilt #pottersofbluesky #pottery #natureartist #pine #potter

I enjoy various parts of each of the ceramic processes. My favorite part of the glazing process is the underglazing of my nature imprint pieces. It’s very satisfying to bring the imprints to life. I’m limited to 1min on these videos so this is part one. Stay tuned… #natureart #pottersofbluesky #clay

As a #smallbatchpotter with a full time public educator job and a farmstead refuge to manage, I don’t have time to post much. When I’m in my studio I focus on making art, not vids or pics. I do try to post a few within each stage of the #pottery process. Onto the glazing stage… ✌️✊ #pottersofbluesky

I rarely see posts showing losses or mistakes. Losses are 1 of 50 reasons handmade goods are pricier than mass produced goods. Not sure what went wrong here but my guess is this dish wasn’t totally dry. No other casualties in the kiln though! Loss is a vital part of life. #ceramics #pottery #clay

It’s fun to make a variety of pieces while in the making stage, especially when restocking for the upcoming season! These #spongeholders will certainly add to your functional kitchen artwork😁 As a lifelong public educator, please call your 3 reps to urge they protect public ed🤯 #clay #pottery #art

I lived in Northern AZ a few lifetimes ago. Sometimes I miss those sandstone reds🏜️ I had those rocks in mind for this first time marbling two clay bodies together. I sealed these with Liquid Quartz so they’ll be food/dw safe. Thoughts? Make more or no? #marbledclay #slabpottery #natureartist
