Apparently I was interfering with her indoor stalking of outdoor birds. I’m taking photos of finished work today, but a website update isn’t likely to be due for another couple of weeks. I need to get through the second weekend of @millarvillemarket Christmas Market before I can manage shipping properly. But there will be some mugs with new wax resist designs, a few dessert mugs, and of course, swear word mugs. I’ll keep you updated as we get closer. #frazzledartist #uselessstudioassistant . . : . #potterymug #potteryofinstagram #potterystudio #potterylife #potterylovers #potteryaddict #potteryforall #canadianceramics #plainsmanclay #dieselclay
I made a whole bunch of candle lanterns for the @millarvillemarket Christmas Market. There are still tickets to be had on all of the days if you haven’t got yours yet. Hope to see you here! . . . . #potterymug #potteryofinstagram #potterystudio #potterylife #potterylovers #potteryaddict #potteryforall #canadianceramics #plainsmanclay #dieselclay
#studiocatlife? Making sure I have enough pots for @millarvillemarket Christmas Market that starts next weekend! I’ll be there for both weeks. . . . . #beautifulobjects #myopenkitchen #yycfoodies #kitchenbowl #homechef #claystagram #potteryforall #ceramicartist #ceramiclife #loveceramic #handmadepottery #modernceramics #ceramics #contemporaryceramics #dieselclay
This is here if you need a place to rest after today. ❤️ I’m glad you’re still here. Drink some water. Eat something nice. Take your meds if you need them. Get some rest.❤️ . . . #objectmaker #indiemaker #artisanmade #ceramiclove #potterycollector #modernmaker #potterylover #dieselclay #rest #quiet #imsad #hope
I swear I’m simplifying it!!!! Putting the last touches on my online Intro to Glazes workshop through the @albertapottersassociation for Saturday. Head to the APA profile for signup. This workshop is for people who want to understand how glazes work, but without involving math in the discussion. If you’re a new potter, or are used to someone else doing the glaze mixing and want to get into doing it yourself, this workshop is for you! Due to time constraints, we’re going over concepts and some best practices, and touching lightly on a lot of topics. I’ll be providing some trusted resources for more in depth information to help narrow your searching. There’s still time to sign up if you’re interested! . #glazechemistry #albertapottery #albertapottersassociation #dieselclay #beginnerpotter
Taking some better shots so that plant pots are, in fact, legible as plant pots. You know. For that update I keep talking about, ha! It may not seem it, but this is a sign the work is progressing nicely. . . . #bohemianhome #beautifulobjects #claystagram #potteryforall #ceramicartist #ceramiclife #loveceramic #handmadepottery #modernceramics #ceramics #contemporaryceramics #dieselclay
Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the first Millarville Spring Market! It was so good to see familiar faces again, and I feel pretty certain that they’ll be hosting another one of those next year. This week might be a little choppy for social media content, because I’ve got to get some things listed online for those of you who don’t live in the Calgary area, there’s another glaze kiln to go through, and I have another small market this Friday and Saturday. Yikes! I seem to have gone from zero helpful brain chemicals to completely back into the swing of things in the span of 3 weeks. Maybe it’s the extra light? Have any of you gone through upswings recently? If you haven’t, that’s more than fine. I know these things can be fragile sometimes, so I’m going to make a point of pausing today to be in the moment and enjoy the health, and try to nurture it a bit. May you also take a moment to show yourself some gentle kindness today. ❤️ . . . . #wheelthrownmugs #handsandhustle #pottersofInstagram #capturemycraft #studioceramics #contemporarycraft #ceramacist #madeincanada #modernceramics #objectmaker #indiemaker #artisanmade #ceramiclove #potterycollector #modernmaker #potterylover #dieselclay
Ah, the temptation to shine things up for The Algo! I mean, this was absolutely what my morning *looked* like, but to my immediate left…you’ll have to check my stories, because I can’t make a carousel of reels for you to flip back and forth to. I’ll bookmark it for anyone who misses the 24 hour window. But yeah! All these and some more goodies are getting glazed today so they’re ready for the @millarvillemarket Spring Show on Saturday. It runs from 9-3, and will be a good place to get a Mother’s Day gift😉 . . . . #wheelthrownmugs #handsandhustle #pottersofInstagram #capturemycraft #studioceramics #contemporarycraft #ceramacist #madeincanada #modernceramics #objectmaker #indiemaker #artisanmade #ceramiclove #potterycollector #modernmaker #potterylover #dieselclay
My current thoughts and feelings about being required to cosplay as a functioning adult. I don’t, as a rule, hate Monday’s on their own merit. I feel daunted and a little excited this morning, because there’s a lot of stuff to prep for the upcoming online sale, and the Millarville Spring Marker this Saturday. And the @Collab market the weekend after! Eek. To the caffeine! Let me know what you’re doing this week. We can commiserate and boost each other. . . . . . #potterymug #potteryofinstagram #potterystudio #potterylife #potterylovers #potteryaddict #potteryforall #canadianceramics #plainsmanclay #dieselclay #wheelthrownmugs #handsandhustle #pottersofInstagram #capturemycraft #studioceramics #contemporarycraft #ceramacist #madeincanada #modernceramics
It feels weird writing a post about upcoming spring sales while there’s giant fluffy white stuff falling out of the sky at the end of April. But this is what we get for living next to a giant mountain range, I guess! So while there will be berry bowls and mugs and planters with me at the Millarville spring market and online next week, I also have some of these fantastic lanterns. We all know candlelight breakfast is great, but they work with citronella candles in the summer too. If you want advance notice of when the online goes live, make sure you sign up for my newsletter. I’ll be sending that out when everything’s live, and posting here the following day. May all of this melt before shovelling becomes necessary, and have a good weekend! . . . . . . #wheelthrownmugs #handsandhustle #pottersofInstagram #capturemycraft #studioceramics #contemporarycraft #ceramacist #madeincanada #modernceramics #objectmaker #indiemaker #artisanmade #ceramiclove #potterycollector #modernmaker #potterylover #dieselclay
As much as I love the “perfect” image of pottery and calm mornings, I’m eating gummy candies and playing D and D online while wearing a hoodie that needs to hit the washer soon. With my properly steeped tea. This afternoon I’ll be throwing more of those shallow pasta bowl things for Millarville. Do you guys want any listed online? . . . . #potterymug #potteryofinstagram #potterystudio #potterylife #potterylovers #potteryaddict #potteryforall #canadianceramics #plainsmanclay #dieselclay #objectmaker #indiemaker #artisanmade #ceramiclove #potterycollector #modernmaker #potterylover
