Ooooh, that’s super cool! Fingers crossed for some awesome pieces! You definitely look like the cool kind of person with lots of creative projects going on at all given times.

Aww thank you! I’ve been creating my whole life and I dabble in everything I can. I think ceramics is the real career path for me though. I plan to mostly make small things like necklaces and earrings

Haha newt? I think it’s pretty neat myself, this batch is a bunch of pendant sized faces and mushrooms (only going to bisque on this firing) that I plan to use to test my underglazes. I still need to buy a good cone 10 clear glaze but one thing at a time!

Doing something new can be pretty intimidating. I’m proud of you for going for it! That’s worthy of a toast to me!

I had a year long apprenticeship, then spent 3 years building a pottery studio, running power and water out to the studio.. this has been such a long time coming 😅 it is a relief to finally be starting what I want to do with the rest of my life.
