A potter inspired by nature in Maine. My website is open for anyone who would like to buy some stickers or pre-order pots to help recover from an unexpected vet bill, and inch my way closer to home ownership!

Oh it's a straight up bribe. It's "privately funded" by Apple, Meta, Google, and X.

I am SO EXCITED with how my foraging chatelaine is coming together! A compact for bug balm, pencil, match safe, and whistle. I've got a compass on the way, and the other side of my pack has pocket binoculars and my mushroom knife! #forage #vintage #woodland #adventure #muttshroom #maine #chatelaine

I thought a chatelaine for foraging tools was a fun idea, and I am THRILLED with how well it's coming together! I'm going to make a bug balm for the compact, there's a pencil I need to find a notepad for, match safe, and whistle so far. The whistle, and compass I have on the way will be on longer chains so I can use them without having to stop and unclip things and I think bending a little cocktail fork to make a hook will be perfect! The other side of my pack has pocket binoculars and my mushroom knife. A little spool of fishing line and maybe tweezers for removing thorns and splinters should finish it off nicely!

Any attempt to pronounce the name of pretty much any river, and at least half the towns 🤣

I love taking notes of things like when the first of different mushrooms pop up, I've been having so much fun with the bird feeder in my yard! I've never been able to use a daily planner to *make plans* but it's PERFECT for recording observations!

#wildlife #observation #muttshroom #chronicles

I had the idea to use a planner as a way to record dates for first sightings, and my planting schedule but figured there was no point to buying one in July, not two days later came across this ridiculously perfect one!

It's absolutely great for keeping a record of who comes to the bird feeder, what I find out on adventures, and it'll be so much fun comparing year after year!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! SPARKLEBERRY SEASON!

Autumn gold and reflections in the river

This is the Autumn Olive, otherwise known as "Sparkleberry" and it is DELICIOUS

The trees produce a lot of small, red fruit with light speckles, or "sparkles" and taste of citrus, or pomegranate. Each tree is actually different! They can be eaten raw, but are often cooked down into jams, and I'll be making some apple cider with them!

Probably because it's literally their fault. Only total idiots believe it's anything to do with Democrats. There just happens to be a LOT of absolutely idiotic clowns in this country.

Talent is a myth. People who are good at things, and "make it look so easy" have put ENORMOUS EFFORT into developing the skills to do it. It's a lot of work, practice, and dedication to their skill that you're seeing, not "talent"

The grand idea was to have a nice "lounge" setup, change out the things on the shelves for relevant topics, and these bits would be supplemental to demonstration clips. I have too much chaos for that right now, and an impending move, so I'm thinking maybe a simple backdrop is at least a good intro?

The first few videos of the series I want to put on Patreon, are mostly going over the basics. What *is* clay? What sort of equipment and tools do you use? What's a glaze? THEN get into how to throw. I wonder if that's maybe kinda boring though? How can we make it engaging? #questions #class #lesson

Ok, lots of big things going on, some up some down but it's giving me motivation to bust through the filming I've been waiting until everything is "ready" to do. Just going for it, how do people feel about some intro videos that are mostly just discussions in front of a backdrop? #pottersofbluesky

I want to show off my student tonight, just her second class and look at how fantastic that bowl is! Those two little ones were from her first session last week. #wheelthrowing #student #proud #teacher #pottersofbluesky #handmade #ceramics #pottery

What a fantastic bowl! And she's never worked with clay before signing up for my beginner class 😀

Just one class, and look at that progress!

You mean like the Hortmans? Or anyone in CECOT? How about Alligator Alcatraz? You trashy fucks literally bought merch for a concentration camp. Sit all the way down and shut the fuck up.

Ooo, not familiar with that one I'll see if the studio has it.

The results! #pottersofbluesky #glaze #wheelthrown #teaching #experiments #glazetests #handmade #pottery

Absolutely adorable bud vase, Mayco stroke and coat "java bean" in the texture, under Amaco Jade, with a gold rim, that dripped a bit.

While the colors are stunning, I was really expecting those spots to bleed a lot more, it's "Running Chowder" I'll try this color combo on something else again.

I don't remember the name of this one just a crystal glaze that's super pretty 😍 I'll try and get better shots without so much glare.

So, turns out Koi Pond is supposed to be low firing anyway, we may grind down the blisters and re-glaze. Has anyone tried it? Should I add another coat of Koi, or maybe an Amaco Celadon?

I've only just started really investigating it as I'm prepping for wedding gifts I need in a couple weeks, and WOW!!!!! I absolutely love that I can start an itemized list before I've even gotten into the clay!!!!! Update each item as it's made, trimmed, bisqued and glazed??? This is AWESOME.

It hasn't so far, is there a particular reason it will now? Has someone finally managed to get a spine and actually DO anything about these rulings besides tell him he's a naughty boy?

Beautiful flowers grown in our yard in my own handmade vase. Can’t wait to plan a much bigger cut flower garden next year to showcase more handmade vases. #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #handmade #etsycanada #madeincanada
