Over the winter I experimented with some new glazes on lowfire red clay and made different things like these rectangle trays and square wall tiles. I’m excited about the bright colors! I’ll have a few available online this Saturday at 12 pm ET for the online show!

Need a cup of joy? I have some mugs in my online shop that would be great for a hot cup of joy on this cold winter day! I always say that using handmade pots created with intention and care makes the food or drink taste better! And if you know me, then it’s like having tea or coffee with me! I love pulling my favorite mugs made by my potter friends out of my cabinet; knowing the potter behind the creativity makes all the difference! Visit my online shop in my link to grab a cup of joy for yourself! ☕️ 💫

Cheers to the arriving winter, a time to slow down and pause and restore ourselves, just like nature is doing all around us. I’m pausing on making pots and selling at shows for a little while. I created a very productive year for myself so now it’s time to nourish and nurture. I’ll get back into the studio for a slow start in January to brew new upcoming creative ideas.

These tall mugs are available online for your favorite hot drink! Visit my online shop for lots of pots still available for shipping this holiday season!
