I have absolutely no desire to fit in, follow the crowd, or become someone I’m not just to make other people comfortable.

I’m my own person. Mind, body, and soul. I think differently, live differently, and see the world through my own eyes. I don’t need approval, validation, or permission to be exactly who I am.

I’ve never understood why people work so hard to fit in when being different is what makes us interesting.

Be yourself. Be unapologetically you. Be RARE.

Life’s too short to spend it being a copy of someone else.

Anyone else perfectly content being the odd one out?

It’s amazing what your hands remember, even after months away! 🤷🏻‍♀️❤️

Back at the pottery wheel, and it’s like I never left. Muscle memory really is an amazing thing!

This large table centerpiece bowl turned out beautiful! There’s just something about working with clay that brings me so much peace.

The video is sped up, but there are no cuts. Just the process from start to finish.

I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Now, what color should I glaze it?

It might not look like much now, but wait until it’s glazed! 👀❤️

I prefer engraving upside down, and I’m carving at different depths to create beautiful color contrast once the glaze is fired. I can’t wait to see how the details come to life!

Stay tuned for Part 2 to see the finished vase!

I get asked all the time which pot is my favourite, and honestly, it changes every time

I get asked all the time which of my pots is my favourite, and honestly, it changes every time I open the kiln! 😂

Glazing is hands down my favourite part of pottery. 🎨 There’s something about experimenting with colours, layering glazes, and never knowing exactly what you’re going to get until that kiln opens.

Over the years, I’ve come up with some pretty cool designs and creations, and every piece has its own personality. Some turn out exactly as I imagined, and others surprise the heck out of me!

So picking just ONE favourite? Nearly impossible!

Now I want to know… which one is YOUR favourite? 👀👇

Four months away from the wheel… but who’s counting? 😏🏺

After a lot of soul-searching, I’ve decided to trade the stress for spinning clay and focus on pottery full-time!

Life is too short to spend it doing something that steals your peace. So here I am, getting my hands dirty again, finding my rhythm, and protecting what little sanity I have left! 😂

There’s something about creating with your hands, slowing down, and living out here on beautiful Kentucky Lake that just feels right.

Here’s to new beginnings, muddy hands, happy accidents, and turning a passion into a way of life.

Welcome back to the wheel with me at Leatherwood Pots! ❤️

Are you ready? Because I am.

Yes, I know I’ve been showing a lot of the same pictures and older work lately. There’s a reason for that.

Depression got ahold of me for about four months, and for a while, creating was one of the things that fell away. But I’m finally finding my way back to it, getting my hands dirty again, and getting excited about what’s coming next.

So give me a little time. I’m waking the algorithms back up, reminding everybody I’m still here, and getting everything moving again.

You’re about to start seeing a whole lot of new work.

Pottery, of course, but Leatherwood is growing into more than that too. You’ll be seeing watercolor paintings from my mom, and I’ll be sharing some videos of her working as well.

You’ll also be seeing traditional Cherokee Nation feather work, including feather fans and hairpieces, along with the other handmade pieces we’re creating here at Leatherwood.

New pottery. New paintings. New feather work. New ideas. And probably a little chaos along the way, because apparently that’s part of my process.

I’m getting back to myself, and I’m ready to get going again.

Are you ready?
