I make ceramic sculpture and pottery with a focus on wood firing and local NC materials.

Hey everyone! I made it to and so excited for today’s Open Flame Pop-Up March 26th from 5-9 pm.
I’m bringing earrings, critters, and pots. I’ve had my woodworker hat on the past week working on my booth setup and I can’t wait for y’all to see it today.

It’s been a while since we did our reduction cool firing over at ‘s sweet little kiln, but I finally got these friends cleaned up and photographed, just in time for ‘s Open Flame Popup. It’s always fun to try a new kiln with the local clay critters. I love digging clay and experimenting with local materials. Over the years (…decades 🫣) my functional work has moved deeper and deeper into layers of decoration, and it’s gotten more and more risky to incorporate experimental materials into them, so the critters have taken on that job. Nothing is more heartbreaking than decorating five layers of imagery only to have some fit issue because of a mystery material that seemed so fun at the time. The critters allow the materials to be what they are without all the fit issues.
This was a fun firing with and right before a big ice storm.

These bud vases are a variation on the candle pillar I designed last year. I switched out the pillar-holding cup on top for a neck and added feet or flat bottoms. They also hold a taper candle. I wish I had a hundred of these for NCECA but I only have a few. Looking forward to the next making cycle when I’ll get back to playing with these forms. I have lots of ideas waiting to become pots, ready to fill a couple boards up with cute little vases.

Here’s three different sizes of slab built cups. Originally I started with the tumbler, wanting to make a tumbler that stacked, then scaled it down to make a few smaller sizes. I enjoy making these: they’re made from a freshly rolled slab and go together all at one time so there’s no waiting on slabs to set up and getting distracted. I leave the seams exposed though often my layers of decoration cover or soften them. On the inside I line them with slip so they play nice with my glazes.

It’s pouring rain here, so here are some pouring vessels! I make this shape in several sizes. I’ll bring a few of these small pitchers and creamers along to NCECA. They’re fun to make and fun to use!

I got a little carried away with cup templates. This teacup form is a variation of the shot cup but with a handle. I tried two different saucer styles, and ended up liking both of them. We’ll see which one I stick with. I didn’t get to the teapots during the last making cycle, maybe next time.

It’s been a while since I posted, hope everyone is doing ok.
I started making these slab built cups last year and they’re one of my new favorite things to make. This is the smallest size, the shot cup. They’re fun to make, fun to decorate, and satisfying to tuck into small spaces in the kiln.

I just got home from a wonderful week Winter Pentaculum. So grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many amazing artists. Usually January is a fairly solitary month for me, so it was fun to start off with a vibrant group studio experience. I hope the rest of 2026 is as great as this first week was. Arrowmont is such a welcoming place, and I felt so included and connected throughout the week. Thanks to and for putting together such a fun group of clay folks. New clay fam plus new connections in media outside of clay which is always exciting. My cup is full. Back in my studio today feeling renewed and excited.

Tomorrow is the USPS deadline for shipping packages with first class and ground advantage shipping (that’s the affordable ones, folks) so if you’re looking to have ornaments/earrings shipped from my Etsy in time for Christmas, please order today.
I never did get pots posted in time for Christmas and I apologize for that. Check out Charlie Cummings Gallery, they have a selection of my pots available online.

I’ll leave my Etsy shop open until Friday at midnight and will ship Friday orders out Saturday morning, but I can’t guarantee anything shipped after tomorrow will arrive in time for Christmas.
