Some pieces from my recent wood firing experience added to my shop! I really enjoyed the firing process and am looking forward to making more pieces in the future when then opportunity comes again.

Unloaded the woodfire kiln yesterday. Spent today cleaning up a few spots on some of the pieces, but overall really great results for my first wood fire! A lot of the mugs have a decent bit of crazing so I’m not sure I’ll sell them, but the bud vases are good to go! #handmade #potter #woodfire

Kiln loading day at Lancaster Creative Factory. Got to crawl inside and spend most of the morning passing pieces to the back, which was fantastic. I’ll be stoking the wood fire overnight tonight!

Glaze day for the woodfire! Not really sure what I’m looking for from my pieces as this is my first time, but I’m excited to see how it all turns out. Loading the kiln tomorrow morning.

Hoping to maybe do one more batch of these before Halloween if I can find the time. These four will probably be in my shop at the end of the week.

Ive got a woodfire at the end of the month and the bisque deadline is quickly approaching. This is my first firing like this, so I’m trying to have a variety of shapes/sizes to see what works best for my style.

Wasn’t expecting this to happen any time soon, let alone today, but as a result of some upgrades at the studio I work out of, I’m now the owner of a Brent pottery wheel! I don’t have anywhere to set it up at the moment, but I’ve got a place in mind that will need some work to get it ready.

First attempt making a damp box for leather hard pottery. Used potters plaster and a weatherproof storage bin from Costco. Making the plaster slab was easier than I expected after I figured out all the ratios/math. Going to let it cure for a week or so.

Brief pottery hiatus, also puppy’s first trip away from home. Had to buy her a new harness 2 days in because she’s growing so fast…this one may last a week.

Didn’t occur to me until I got them back from the kiln that these have a sort of natural progression from one to the other… #handmade #pottery #ceramics #monsters #monstermugs #etsy

All set up at Phoenixville Pottery Festival! The heat has finally broken for a few days, so it’s a great night to walk around town and see some pottery. I still feel like an imposter at these kinds of things but 🤷‍♂️. #handmade #pottery #ceramics #craftfair #firstfriday #phoenixville #philadelphia

Studio time on hold while my wife and I welcome this little lady into our house. I forgot how time consuming a puppy is for the first couple weeks. #puppy #dogs #naptime

This one was really fun to make. Still trying to convince my wife to let me keep it by the sink, but she prefers someone buy it and give it a new home.

I’ll never get tired of staring at glaze results like this.

This is a bit of a teaser for a dozen or so new pieces hitting my Etsy shop this weekend, if/when I can find time to finish the listings. Very excited for this batch!
