Brilliant idea! I’ve never even thought of that. Work smarter not harder 👍!

Going to need a new meat tenderizer…ours is now a #clay #tenderizer 🙄. Worked brilliantly on a box of less than ideal clay. Never to old to learn new tricks! Totally saved my hands.

Using a meat tenderizer to “tenderize” 🤣 my porcelain clay!

Sanding porcelain earrings in the studio tonight. Wine is an essential part of that process……especially in a hand blown glass from a local artist.

I love transfers! They are so fun!

Let me introduce myself! I’m Raeann, a ceramic artist that fell in love with #clay in college. My day job is teaching high school art. I created a home #pottery studio in my 40’s, and it’s my happy place. I also love camping, dogs, the ocean, and wine with a good charcuterie board. #pottersofbluesky

Thank you! I need to get over my “perfectionism”. Funny thing….most of the pottery I purchase is imperfect. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nilan Arts @nilanarts.bsky.social · Jan 28

One of my biggest challenges is uniformity/matching sets. Not my favorite part of the gig. I call these “blates”….too shallow as a typical bowl….yet way more depth than a typical plate 🤷🏻‍♀️. But dang, they sure stack nicely!

Happy Sunday! Some of my other creations. I like to use a mix of underglaze, underglaze transfers, and carving when I create ornaments. I’ll be in the baking aisle buying new cookie cutters……..
