Today I’m making a tiny mushroom forest! I’ll also be trying out a few new stamps I carved on a previous livestream, and we’ll see where the afternoon takes us.

Come keep me company in the studio. 🍄

Come play with clay in the redwoods. 🌲

On September 12th, a small group of women will gather at my friend's beautiful home in the Oakland Hills with a redwood forest just across the street.

We’ll begin by wandering through the trees, slowing down enough to find enchantment in the tiny things, follow what catches our attention, and collect a few forest treasures along the way.

Then we’ll head back to the house, put the tea on, and spend the rest of the afternoon playing with clay. Make a little vessel, a weird creature, or something inspired by the forest. Let the clay surprise you!

No previous clay experience is needed. This is simply a chance to slow down, play, connect with nature and each other, and spend an afternoon creating simply because it’s fun. 🌿

Slow Play in the Redwoods
Saturday, September 12 • 1–4pm
Oakland Hills
$125 • Limited to 8 women

I hope you'll join us! Registration link in bio.

I’m going live in the clay studio this afternoon! 🌿

I have several projects I’m working on today so I’m just going to see where my curiosity takes me.

I might carve some new clay stamps, finally glaze my bird, or keep working on the strange coil vessel that’s slowly becoming… something. 😂

Come hang out in the studio with me! Stop in and say hi and keep me company while I play with clay. I’ll be live at 2pm PT on The Clay Witch Next Door. Link in bio.

Slow Play in the Redwoods 🌿

I’ve been thinking a lot about slowness lately. There is so much noise competing for our attention all the time, and I'm craving ways to step out of it for a while.

I’ve been craving more play too. Less rules, more freedom. More spaciousness to wallow in my imagination, follow my curiosity, and do things simply because they’re fun.

I’ve also been dreaming about unique ways to gather women around clay.

So on Saturday, September 12th, I’m creating an afternoon for a small group of women centered around nature, clay, and connection.

We’ll meet at my friend’s beautiful home in the Oakland Hills, with a redwood forest just across the street. We’ll begin by wandering through the trees, slowing down enough to notice the tiny things, follow what catches our attention, and collect a few forest treasures along the way. Then we’ll head back to the house, put the tea on, get our hands into some clay, and spend the afternoon making, talking, laughing, and playing together.

I’ll bring plenty of clay and a few simple ideas to get us started, and then it’s time to get your hands dirty. Make a little vessel, a weird creature, or a forest-inspired object. Let the clay surprise you!

🌿 Saturday, September 12 | 1–4 PM
🌿 Oakland Hills | $125
🌿 No clay experience needed
🌿 Limited to 8 women | 4 spots remaining

I’ll glaze and fire whatever you make afterward so you’ll have a little piece of our time together to keep.

And if you’d like to join us and cost is a barrier, please reach out to me. I’d love to find a way to make it work.

This vessel changed directions, and I’m following its lead. Come help me discover what it wants to become on The Clay Witch Next Door (link in bio).

✨Today’s studio session is now available to watch.

We celebrated the glaze results of several creations we’ve been working on together over the past few weeks, including these two charming mushroom houses and a couple other special pieces.

Then we had fun exploring carving and texture, experimenting with a bowl and two little air plant vessels that had been hiding in my damp box.

If you’d like to spend some time in the studio with me, the replay is waiting for you. 🍄
