The first cocktus harvest of the year has just been brought in from the fields!

I haven't made a batch of these since March of last year. There's a whole story behind the reason for that. I'll tell y'all all about it a little later.

For now, enjoy looking at these guys. They'll be making their debut online tomorrow at 11am EST. Tell your grandma and your kindergarten bbf. I'm sure they want to know about this.

Psst, I updated my website with some pots for those of you who are into that kind of thing. 👉👈

I'm planning on having a 🌵Cocktus🌵 drop at some point on February 1st, just in time for Valentine's Day!

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy your weekend! Does anybody have some super fun plans? I'm probably gonna keep working on my sculpture a little.

I worked hard in 2025 to make work and put it out there for the world to see but I wouldn't be where I am now without Y'ALL! You make Bex Pottery possible! Your continued support, in more ways than just purchasing my work, allows me to exist in this world as a full-time artist. Your smiling faces at markets, kind messages online, laughter at my word mugs and cocktus sculptures, you sharing my work with your loved ones, and the knowledge that my work is going home with people who really love it keeps me feeling fulfilled and energized to continue moving forward, even when it feels like the world is on fire. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much! 💖🥹

To my fellow art & vendor friends, both new and old, a big thanks to y'all as well! You've helped me keep sane through the ups and downs of being on the market scene, in gallery spaces, and as an artist in general. We've celebrated together, laughed together, shared frustrations, and in some cases cried together! From highly successful events to some that went differently than we all hoped, we're out there doing our best and putting ourselves out there TOGETHER. We're a vibrant community of folks busting ass making killer work while also giving each other feedback, sharing leads on apps and calls for work, splitting booths, purchasing from one another, sharing drinks, commiserating over tacos, and talking each other out of getting another degree (still TBD tho, in all honesty 🤪).

As I reflect on 2025, I'm actually pretty proud of myself. Also, I'm proud of myself for being able to say that in the first place as someone who spent a lot of time not acknowledging or celebrating my accomplishments over the years. I'm excited to see what 2026 brings, whatever that may be. If nothing else this year has, for better or worse, reinforced my philosophy on life: "eh, IKD. it'll probably work out. 🤷‍♀️" LOLOLOLOL

Gonna be throwing a bunch of stuff this week to prep for August events including starting a new batch of word mugs! Most of these guys found homes over the weekend so I've got my work cut out for me. Wish me luck, y'all! 💖

BUGS! BUGS! BUGS! They're creepy! They're crawly! Call me Marge Simpson because I just think they're neat! 🪲🪳

Been playing around making my own underglaze transfers and these bad boys are the results of some of my very first attempts. I drew these guys up on my iPad, printed them onto transparency film, made silkscreens using the sun, AND THEN I was able to make my transfers. Lol, ya pick up a variety of skills as a clay person and as a LiFeLoNg LeArNeR I kinda ain't mad about it. 🤣

Y'all got some suggestions for other creepy crawlies? Heck, have suggestions that AREN'T creepy crawlies?? I'm open to hearing what you've got so throw it at me!

Did you know I mix all my glazes from recipes? Yeah you did because I just told you! 🤪

Gonna be doing some glaze testing soon! I have just over 4lbs of gerstley borate (a discontinued glaze material worth its weight in gold) left. Two of my glazes, chun blue & coleman red, use gerstley borate and that's just enough for me to make a new batch of each.

Honestly, I'm a bit nervous about it. I get a lot of compliments on the blues, reds, and purples on my functional work and I love those colors too! If I struggle to nail similar colors with reformulation, I'm going to be more than a bit sad. I know I haven't started yet, but I'm an anxious person so yeah, I am already thinking of the worst case scenario.

If I can't get them to behave with reformulation, I might try out some new recipes that are similar. Or maybe my work will take an entirely different direction as far as my color palette goes. Who can say at this point? Certainly not me!

The last time I mixed these glazes was back in February so I'm gonna have plenty of time to figure things out, I think. Regardless, wish me luck on my glaze adventures! Anybody wanna buy me a course or subscription to help? LOLOLOL, jk. Unless... 🤔

Been wondering where you can find me this month? Have you become overwhelmed with worry because you don't know when, or if, you'll get your next Bex Pottery fix? Good news! You can finally relax because here's this month's event flyerrrr.

:)

One year ago yesterday, I walked out of Atlanta Girls' School, the school I worked at for five years, for the very last time. I know this is a story many of y'all are already familiar with but for those that aren't: my school closed at the end of May 2024. So I wasn't leaving because I wanted to. I had no say in the matter. None of us did.

In the year since, SO much has happened. Things I could have only dreamt of a year ago have occurred. I've been in multiple gallery shows across the state with more on the horizon. I've participated in countless pop-ups and markets with my pottery and sculptures. I attended an out of state workshop on my own. I've thrown hundreds of pots. I've paid my bills. I'm a full time artist!

Y'ALL are the ones who have made this all possible! Your support in the form of words of encouragement, sharing my work with your friends, sending me event opportunities, stopping by my booth to say hi, and of course purchasing the work I pour myself into every day. Without y'all, this past year would have looked completely different! I really can't put into words just how much each and every one of y'all mean to me. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! 💖

I know the future feels uncertain right now, but I am trying to remain hopeful for the next year and the next year and every year after that. I hope I can continue to make work that feeds my soul and brings a smile to your faces and joy to your homes.

So yeah, I miss AGS, my former students, and my former coworkers but maybe the school closing wasn't such a bad thing after all. 🌠

It's finally here! My May event flyer! I've got a busy month ahead, but that just means you'll have plenty of opportunities to shop with me all over town and even in Rome, GA!

Def meant to share this sooner, but time got away from me. That's life sometimes, ya know?

On May 3rd, I'll be booth neighbors with
/ in Rome assuming it doesn't rain us out. 🤞

On May 10th, I'll be sharing a booth with at the Day Trip Market. Perfect opportunity to grab something super last minute for Mother's Day! Moms LOVE pottery.🤱💖
