The last 3 pieces I worked on in 2024! Excited to get back into maker mode for 2025 💪🏼
-

Back at it in my little home studio (aka: the garage) - some work in progress for my friend’s home!

This summer has been a bit of a whirlwind, but I did manage to take two studio classes (running at the same time, meaning I was throwing 4 days a week!) I was throwing 3 different clay bodies - 2 high fire (cone 10) and 1 low fire (cone 6). I’m quite pleased at how these turned out and feel that with the time I’ve spent at the wheel and mark making, I’ve started to find my voice in this medium.
-

Last night was our final class and glazing day! It was a complete blur as I glazed 19 (!!!) pieces in just under 3 hours 😳 Many thanks to my wonderful classmates (and new friends!) and Mindy our instructor for helping out with the last push to finish!! I can’t wait to see what all of our pieces look like 😍 also, our post class hangout was exactly what I needed to decompress after such a hectic night.

-
Also, finding other in the wild and telling our classmates about were also 🙌🏼

New forms (the original colour and the bisque fired work)… these will get glazed and fired this week and turn out much darker!
-

Somehow my first official day of unemployment has landed me in a second wheel throwing class, and this time, I’m throwing with the clay affectionately known as “baby poo”… though it fires to a wonderful dark purple colour 💜
-

New session, old forms, and my first thrown plate!
-

Glazing day! Bisque fired pieces are out and glazed, now for the long wait for them to get fired and come back to me 😂
-

Back at it again 👩🏻‍🎨
-
Some new forms I’m working on (and isn’t the studio light just ✨magical✨), some oldies from last session, and I (finally! 😬😅) feel like I’ve found my ceramics ‘voice’.
-

It’s Market time again! Here today at St. Luke’s holiday market and next week I’ll be at another Advent Market!
