‘Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved, The blackness, of darkness, forever …’.Blessed full moon my friends, I hope you are well this very special harvest moon night. I am writing this during the lunar eclipse, ruminating over the symbiosis I have with my current body of work. Unraveling the mysteries of ancient Runes and playing with a variety of representations has been rewarding work. It touches on aspects of my spiritual/historical journeys, delving into hidden esoteric depths ripe with discovery. I am currently head over heels for the darker, mysterious version seen here.πŸ–€ What do you think? Rounding the halfway point of #MDRF and I wanted to thank you for your continued record breaking support each weekend! *Currently mind blown and a little dazed* I am doing my best to keep up, though this is definitely a new level of hustle and bustle unlocked for me (if you can imagine ha ha). I also wanted to declare that I am already making plans/preparing supplies for the online shop update Dec 1 8pm est! If you have any particular requests, please let me know down below, I am likely to add them to the roster ! Much love to everyone! Can’t wait to hear your requests!πŸ–€πŸ–€

Year 4, let’s go! 🏰✨πŸ”₯At around 4pm at faire, the sun begins to shine into the gallery and casts the most magical golden light imaginable. It’s in these moments I feel the gravity and wonder about the space and humans around me. Everyone, including the pots, glows ☺️. Opening day was a delight, we made record sales, and I found an outfit that matches my booth colors to a tee (pictured–a subconscious manifest, I swear haha!). I hope you are taking care wherever you are right now, and that you have some plans ahead that you are excited about! For me, it is preparing for the 3-day weekend at faire and all the kiln surprises I have in store! I’ll take this opportunity to remind folks coming that cash is very helpful right now due to internet difficulties on site (working on it) and to also consider bringing your own shopping bags (or 10c!) for the new county laws (just ask us at the booth if you have any questions!). See you soon, Muddy hugs and love from your Pottess! πŸ–€

My friends! Hi, hello! I am racing about this week so I can meet so many of you this weekend for the opening of the #marylandrenaissancefestival !! I plan and create all year to bring my best work to my home show, I am ecstatic to finally bring out all the various designs (new and classics!) to fill the gallery shelves once more in Revel Grove. It’s not just about the work though, seeing my peoples out there fills me with so much energy and goodness, it will be a delight to connect again and fill one another’s cups (see what I just did there?! I’ll bring the cupsβ˜•). Give me a shout if you’re coming this season! πŸ–€.Which is more your style? The dynamic and colorful structure of my crystal inspired glaze work or the dark drippy goodness and ‘unearthed’ nature of the Runic Magick series?If you follow along in my stories, you’ve been seeing a lot of this gemmy, moody version of my Arcane Nephrite glaze. The chemistry of my glazes are ever changing– as many of you know I rely on ‘chance’ or in more direct terms, the fluctuating variables ever present in my glaze lab/kiln environment. Sometimes an earth mineral changes at the mines, my elements are aged/dying/new, the glaze is thicker/thinner than usual; these are but a small sampling of the many ways a glaze can change over time. I love this so much and cultivate the ‘chance’ environment in my studio. Each piece stays very special this way– one of a kind, never replicated again (but sister pieces are possible!). All this to say, I enjoyed the journey this summer playing with this version of one of my longest standing glazes. I’ve been mixing it up since 2016 ! Perhaps I have reached peak chaos here, perhaps there is more to come (mwhahaha likely the latter).πŸ–€
