This was my first time constructing a piece like this, and I found it quite an exciting challenge! From creating the knob to trimming the lid and shaping the form, I enjoyed every step. Although this is probably one of the largest pieces I've thrown, I plan to go even bigger next time 💪.

Thank you those are so old 😓. I think they are from my sophomore year 🤔

A close frien While I struggle to appreciate my past work, I recognize the value of those memories in showing my growth. Since mugs are my favorite to create, I want to share my journey from the beginning to where I am now.

Just wanted to capture this moment in time with these beautiful tulips 🌷. This was my first time making an object like this, and I love how it turned out!!! Can't wait to improve and make it even more extravagant next time!!!! Hope you enjoy.

I felt that springtime tulips would be the perfect choice for this piece. I ended up visiting three different stores to find the perfect tulips, and I believe the final result was well worth the effort. I hope you enjoy this floral arrangement and the flower brick.

Blue floral Ice cream bowls 🍨💙

I would say I'm ready for ice cream season to begin, but isn’t it always ice cream season?

Through my functional pieces, I aspire to craft works that serve not only a practical purpose but also bring joy and comfort to those who interact with them.

Hey everyone, wishing you an amazing week!!! I've been playing around with different pitcher designs. I'm hoping this chicken pitcher will be great for sharing sweet tea.

Trying to work on a new chicken design 🐓. I just think they are such silly but beautiful birds. I think these tumblers will be perfect for sweet tea.

Threw some bowls today 💪.
Excited to get these trimmed then decorated. Think I’m going to continue on with my previous bowl designs.
