Commission of a Weather Angel to sit by the window and watch the rain. It ended up looking very weathered, fittingly!

Caged angel commission. For this one I got a moodboard that included a verdigris'd birdcage and some starling wings. Then the glaze did kind of its own thing but it ended up suiting it well.

A commission with prompts including "beast," "gentle + cozy + taciturn + ancient," and "will go on a bookshelf to care for and protect the books"

Mossy mushroomy A-frame cabin commission, with its little pals

I got no photos of my favorite design decision: ceramic "rafters" supporting the needlefelted moss. They'll get their time to shine whenever the felt biodegrades, which will be a while.

the first day of my hand drafting class in my senior year of college, after the prof taught us how to frame up on the drafting table and went over how to use the tools we'd bought, he had us all take our pencils and make a mark on the top right corner of the vellum. then he walked us through the setup steps - the border, the title block, etc.

and he told us to erase the mark.

when someone - rosie, i think - asked what the mark was for he smiled.

"if you give a novice student an expensive, blank piece of paper, they panic. they think if i start using that i will ruin it. so the first thing i want all of you to do, any time you stare at a blank piece of paper, is to ruin it a little and take the pressure off yourself. pencil erases. anxiety has to be managed."

i hated that man for a myriad of reasons, but that was some of the best advice i've ever been given.

I’m just wondering if you will be making more of those amazing prehistoric ceramic horses. I need to buy some!

These buddies?! Heck yeah! A herd of 13 just went into their glaze firing this morning :)

I'm not 100% sure when the next shop update will be (I've got some busy times coming up with other non-pottery projects), but I'll hopefully get my butt in gear sometime in the next few weeks!
