A little Taylor Swift to get me in studio mode.
Rainbow mugs and cups restocked. Not many left.
If you have been waiting to pick up a new mug or one for the first time, a new batch has been added to my shop (link in profile). Limited colors and quantities, and I will be honest, I do not anticipate another mug drop before the end of the year.

As always, thank you for the support! -Bryan
I work with soft slabs. And this slab was pretty soft.
Oh that would be cool! I’m hoping to get some cool variations in the glaze I’ll be using. I’ll have to experiment to get some “sparkle”
Custom tiles. Interested in a custom, expensive backsplash? Reach out to discuss. Working on two right now and while there isn’t much variation finding the process cathartic.
I’ve started to explore different firing processes. This is a piece I put in a salt kiln.
Handmade white tiles with botanical imprints.
Adding botanicals to some tiles. Going to make a four season backsplash with imprint from what’s in the garden year round.
I’m taking the Raku workshop and thought a teapot would be fun. When I make a teapot, I think of one of my first instructors. I said I wanted to make teapot and he told me it was only for the experienced. Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do something. I ignored him and made a teapot my first week
This these tiles using Dark Star by Kentucky Mudworks are my favorite from the batch.
First batch of handmade tiles out of the kiln and I couldn’t be happier! Minimal warping, good glaze coating…these are going to look great as a backsplash in my studio.
Thanks! Hope they survive the drying process.
Not a bad first attempt at throwing and trimming on a kick wheel. I could get into throwing this way.
First time on the kick wheel. It was pretty awkward but managed to throw two pots. #kickwheel #kickwheelpottery #beardedpotter
I’ve got to get in the rhythm of posting new work on my site. These are some birch vases I put up recently. Now if I had an assistant to do the business side of being an artist…
Not all of my ceramic work is done in the studio, I’m also a tile setter.
Cool. Have a look and let me know if you have any questions. They are all handmade so all unique.
No mud, No lotus.
While it’s not the most glamorous of studio tasks, there is something satisfying about reclaiming unfired clay experiments and bits to make something new. I am using reclaimed clay for the majority of my tiles.
Popped into the studio late last night to trim a bowl recently thrown. For a handbuilder, I’m pretty happy with my wheel skills.
