I just want to dump all the photos I took this morning on you. I’ll try to pace myself, but I’m excited to share them. You should buy them as holiday gifts and then I’ll make more. Everyone wins. #hope #woodfired #woodfiredceramics #functionalpottery #ceramics

Besides being on a slope and feeling things crawling up my leg and the sticky foot pedal, this was a slick way of making while the kiln is firing. #studiopractice #wip #woodfired #ceramics

Hoping this giant makes it to and through an October wood firing.

Pot 12-complete with pool of glass. This one was front and center to all the heat and ash in NH Potters Guild’s anagama. #woodfired #potsofbluesky

The start to oval bakers. They begin round and bottomless. Relieved to sink into studio work. For me, focused studio time requires holding the world at arm’s length. Also relieved that sap is beginning to flow. #studiolife #woodfired #ceramics #wip #potsofbluesky

We are building a wood kiln in June, with help from #woodfire1@bsky.social and a bunch of other wonderful people. It was no small feat to dig out the hard brick we’ve been collecting for three years to count and sort, but here it is, under the kiln shed roof that was its own feat of steep learning.

Last week @susanlirakis came to take photographs. As awkward as I mostly felt, it is really nice to have these—a person behind pots. Thank you, Susan!

Pot 7-An extra cake stand base turned upside down and ovaled, fired this fall in New Hampshire Potter’s Guild’s anagama. #potsofbluesky #woodfired

Pot 7-from the 2021 arch preoccupation. They still appear, but in less overt ways now.

Pot 6-Until this little lidder, I did not quite understand how to make pots that reflect my values, something @woodfire1.bsky.social encouraged me to do when he mentored me in 2022. In this one, spontaneity meets disciplined and playful meets studied: things I value. Whoop whoop!

Pot 5-wood fired in 2022 with my cohort from @cohorts.bsky.social and mentor @woodfire1.bsky.social. Building a wood kiln this June with this same pack!

It took a minute and lots of iterations to figure out these footed plates. They look the most elegant to me right at the tipping point of slumping. A worthwhile edge to keep traveling. Good stuff on a snowy morning. Grounding as I learn about bird flu and Eric Adams in Trump’s pocket.

Pot 2-Double-waller before and after firing. It’s got heft and muscle I like, but also a quiet stoniness. “Soo, you made a rock into another rock,” said my oldest child.

First pot of 20. I like the lively play between the texture and facets on this one. Fired this fall in New Hampshire Potters Guild first firing of their community-built anagama.

Finally moved enough mental and physical obstacles aside to allow for a full day of studio work. I’d begun to doubt I could do more than walk through the door and walk back out. #woodfire #porcelain #whew

Stepping back into making pots has been slow, but I finally made it through the door thanks to my encouraging community and this cup form that continues to interest and teach me. Oh, and kiln building plans on deck for June!

Exploring with similar curiosity but more trepidation than my friend Bill. I hope you’ll find me!
