Go to your camera roll and search “boat” and then post a pic of a boat you like.

A whitewater raft’s bow rises and crashes into a milky wave of the river. Two paddlers reach out from each side and a third passenger in the front braces as the wave crashes into him.

First attempt at nerikomi this week. Need to make more bisque or plaster molds for some different shapes, but I can see this being incredibly addictive. Some minor smudges that will hopefully sand out. #pottery

Two small shallow pottery bowls sit on a rumpled muslin cloth atop a wooden table. In one, two shades of blue checks alternate with the natural colour of the clay to form a checkered pattern. In the second, the same three shades form an alternating houndstooth pattern.

After two months of no pottery because of moving and travel, I got back in the studio this week. The first night was 3 hours of prep and glazing. Tonight was mostly glazing too but I did colour some clay to do nerikomi next week! Hope the flowerpot cups are visited by the magnificent kiln gods 🤞

Two bisque fired and glazed beer tumblers sit slightly offset on a shelf, awaiting a trip to the kiln. The clay is a red brown colour, and features a carved scene of the flowerpot rocks in the bay I Fundy, surrounded by glazes that will hopefully transform in the kiln

Three rows of three small vessels sit on a shelf, covered in powdery looking glaze, as they await the kiln. They include two small bowls, a series of tumblers, and a tiny vase with a flared rim

Fall fair weekend, recruiting for the club. Shout out to Capital Winter Club for lending us their street curling unit. It is a kid magnet.

Two teenagers kneel down at the near end of an inflatable curling rink, facing away and about to push their rocks down the sheet.

Pottery update: two big pieces made it through the glaze firing with only minor problems. Dice tower had unexpected but lovely glaze interaction and will return your die 1/5 rolls so that sucks 1/2

The morning sun rays beam down toward you from a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a dumpster sits on an angle beside a soon to be dismantled run down shed, its door ajar, the slide proudly proclaiming “GET DUMPED”

A cluster of ceramic animals are posed on a glass topped table. An orange, round sheep is perched atop the shell of a worried green tortoise. A lime green ram and blue ewe stand in front, while to their left an oversized pale yellow pig, one ear curled down, rounds out the group

Teaching the Ern dog about football. @scibri.com has clearly chosen a side.

A dapper man turns to grin at you, wearing a straw Panama hat and a Colombian poncho. He sits in the corner of a leather couch, the Ern Dog sitting up straight beside him, tongue lolling.

The kiddo and I were grateful for Barber Brad giving us shelter from the thunderstorm while out with the doggos.

A dog wearing a bright harness sits attentively looking out a glass door, tongue hanging out, as rain pours down outside. One the left, Barber Brad is seated but barely visible, and a women in leggings and a ball cap is sitting in the right edge of the photo.
