Plate with whale sharks. Not a great photo - the colors don't really come through - but you get the idea.

Happy mug Monday! This recently came out of the kiln. I'm still playing with different sgraffito ideas. #ceramics #pottery #wheelthrown #sgraffito

This sey of tumblers is also headed to the same fundraiser for my daughter's dance school. #ceramics #pottery
Two ceramic drinking cups decorated with dancers. The clay is a very dark brown and the dancers are raw clay. The glazed portion of the cups are a cream glaze that breaks red.

Another mug just back from the kiln. A sea serpent. Definitely going to keep playing with underwater scenes with these watercolor glazed! This was my first try and while there's definitely room for improvement it was pretty fun. #pottery #ceramics #handmade
A white mug decorated with a green sea serpent creature. Another view of the same mug with the sea serpent's tail, a squid and a jellyfish.

Work in progress #sgraffito plate. My three year old is obsessed with #frogs right now and it seems to have worn off on me. Hopefully it survives the first firing! #pottery #ceramics #handmade

Hi bluesky! It's been a busy summer - and not a lot of it involved #ceramics, but here are those tumblers after the final firing. #pottery #sunflowers #handmade #sgraffito
Two ceramic cups with a light teal background and carved/painted sunflowers on them.

😅 Daffodils. Not dandelions... Though I have done dandelions, too. #ceramics #pottery #daffodils

Made these during an online workshop taught by @hawthornceramics.bsky.social hosted by @pocosinarts.bsky.social. Definitely room for improvement in how I use stencils in layers, but it was super fun and I learned a bunch. I'll be playing with these techniques some more for sure! #ceramics #pottery
A light turquoise drinking cup featuring designs of plant silhouettes in different colors. One is the dark brown of the bare clay, another a light orange and a dark blue is barely visible around the left side. The same cup from the other side which has an image transfer of a line drawing of a frog. Another turquoise cup, this one with another dark brown silhouette with a transfer of a line drawing of a coneflower overlapping it. An orange plant silhouette is barely visible at the right side. The other side of the same cup, this one with a smaller frog transfer, overlapping a bare clays stencilled silhouette and a dark blue one.

Got these back from the kiln. I'm not 100% happy with them - the blue came out darker than I was hoping/expecting. But they survived! And I have a light turquoise slip that I'm thinking might be right if I try again.
#ceramics #pottery #sgraffito #coneflowers #wheelthrown #handmade
Four drinking glasses lined up on a window sill, decorated with coneflowers. The background color of the cups is blue, the flowers are a muted purple with red and brown centers and green stems. The inside of the cups, slightly visible, are a lighter green.
