💚Ha, it’s February! Time to finish up the next small batch release inspired by my recent trip to Ireland. This is one of my trickiest press molds to fill. Hoping the shape gives me luck🍀

Sign up for my newsletter to get a preview of all the patterns before they list in my next shop update. There will be 🐑 sheep, 🍄mushrooms and 🌈a rainbow for sure! I’m loving this little side project. Definitely keeping one for myself this time around! Makes a great relish dish or #shamrockcharcuterie board. Olives, cheese, crackers…hungry?

❤️ I Love Red 🍓🌹🚨💋
This collection is currently on sale through the end of January. Use the coupon code REDFAN to save 15%. Shop my largest collection in my favorite color. So many patterns to choose from including strawberries, roses and butterflies.

Fun fact: Red is my most expensive underglaze costing 3 times as much as other colors. It’s also very tricky to get the clear glaze the perfect thickness. Therefore, red pots are pretty rare. I have 5 shades of red. Light red and radiant red are my favorites. I use two pints of each per year!

Happy weekend!

Commissioned dinnerware set for 6, circa many year

Commissioned dinnerware set for 6, circa many years ago. This trusting and patient client put together a color palette based on their love for this platter. I had free rein to curate a selection of complimentary patterns to complete a full place setting.

Every plate has a unique border. The inside is porcelain white with a white dot. Maybe now that I have a fancy new square kiln I should make more dinner plates!!! What do you think? Would you collect and curate your own set plate by plate or prefer to preorder a specific pattern?

Still using my wedding china with my hand painted serving ware. These platters shown in my china hutch are up for grabs online and could be a starting point for a fabulous dinner ware collection.

Sgraffito in progress

Taking lots of breaks because my arm feels like it’s going to fall off. Diagnosis: tennis elbow with a side of AC joint tendonitis in my shoulder. Ugh 😑

Also, Disco filter is perfect for Friday nights in the studio 🕺🏻

Fresh flowers and candles all winter, please!

I love having clay friends and coordinating play dates for our pottery.

Flexing this summery mug stack 🔥🔥🔥in the new kiln. I set one mug in each zone to see the effect of the heat work on my clay and glazes. Perfectly even temperature top to bottom. 🙌🏻

Love this editing feature to unroll all that pattern in one frame r is it an epic 9 cups of coffee Monday?! Painting this pattern reminds me of sunbathing in a meadow filled with wildflowers in Cortona, Italy. I studied ceramics abroad the summer of 1995 and have always wanted to go back. At the time I was really focused on my figurative work, however, you can see the imprint visiting the majolica studios in Deruta made on my pottery today.

❤️Having fun with these guys but wondering if

❤️Having fun with these guys but wondering if this method of decorating gave me tendonitis or maybe a tense week of driving in Ireland. 😬

I try so hard to keep my body in shape so I can continue making pots forever. Rock climbing the other night was probably not the best idea but it was really fun. 😣

Going to squeeze some clay and roll some coils for awhile then ice. I promise to rest this weekend. I really need to slow down in 2023. Hold me to it, please! I have so many ideas but need to be better about managing my pace. Anyone else have this dilemma?

BTW ❤️ ornaments coming soon in sets of 3 for gifting or decorating.

Happy Friday!

Back at it with this gingham picnic plaid small platter 🐜🍉🌼🍄🍒
Food coloring and tissue transfer with latex resist, multiple layers of underglaze and sgraffito work. Using my Meredith Host ashtray to collect sgraffito crumbs! Now to paint the back! 😅
BTW I love this silicone hot pad for getting parallel lines on a curved surface.

Sold out!! Come paint with me Sunday, January 8th

We have lift off, finally!!

Currently 60-1600F in 3 hours and so stinky. The kiln is empty except for the freshly painted shelves and cone packs. Burning off all the manufacturing junk and properly setting the elements before I load it full of pots.

Can’t remember if I need to keep all the spies open for the exhaust vent to work or just the top one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

When you leave a day early for Ireland because a snow storm broke your stride. Made it there and back safely. Feeling refreshed after a stupendous trip. Thanks for making my season merry and bright 🥰

Glad to know exactly where I left off with everything. Now to fire up the new kiln and get back at it!

Our vacay started early. We are currently staying in Kenmare and exploring the area. Torc waterfall is a bit like a skinny Buttermilk falls but with the greenest moss ever 🦠🦠🦠 Beautiful day to travel through Killarney National Park. Happy Solstice!!

Check out this pattern collection listed online. I love exploring the interaction of surface and form. The OG ribbon floral is a vintage feed sack print with blue ribbons and red flowers. I would love to wear a dress made in this print. 👗🌼❤️

December 13 is the last day to place orders for Christmas delivery or before I take vacation. Orders December 14-26 will be processed on the 27th when I return.
