Enjoying the sounds of a rare rainy Los Angeles day

The last weeks before a show are always maximum studio chaos & finishing the tiniest details. Most of my ceramic work is glazed, but a few are finished instead with cold process-- aka paint. Painting individual hairs on a rainy day today.

My show "Insides" will open on 11/1 at Stranger Factory

Wayward 2025 is in the books! I feel my cup refilled by the week we built in the woods with this incredible group of humans who I want to keep in my pocket forever. They were so game for both silliness and depth. It was a joy to make art with all of you! @waywardretreats.bsky.social
A collage of: a panoramic view of a bay in British Columbia and a bunch of Wayward Retreaters posing in odd ways for a group photo A collage of: retreaters whittling together on a porch, retreaters around a dining table working on creative pursuits, a retreater looking at lichen on a tree through a small magnifying glass A collage of: a retreater making a shadow puppet show on a fence, retreaters reacting to an incredibly clever handmade board game, retreaters cheering over a result in a different game-based art piece, and retreaters doing something involving string and a plastic femur A retreater enjoys a rest on a log over a creek while another one leans over to count salmon

The first one I definitely sanded a few spots and oiled! Haven't worked in the small one yet.

The big one is going on a wall as is because I can't possibly improve in it. The small one... Not sure yet!!

I don't like to brag, but I have excellent taste in driftwood.

Back from running Wayward, feeling the usual combo of exhausted and inspired. More soon once I’ve had a chance to lie down for about a day.

In just a few days, I'll be going offline for about two weeks. I'll be in one of my favorite places doing my favorite thing: creating a new session of Wayward on Quadra Island. Art and foster kitten updates will resume in early October! Waywardretreats.com
