Tea set update: the cups all have their handles, but the teapots still need their spouts and handles--lids can use a little more trimming too. I'm snowed in today (again) so it's a perfect day to get cozy and work on pots! Hope you all are having a creative day! #tea #teapot #pottery #porcelain #craft #art #mastoArt #handmade #kentucky #workInProgress #wip

Good morning! Hope you all are having a great day! My preparations for Chinese New Year of the SNAKE continue: I started a teapot with matching cups last night.

I'm super excited that Osa Atoe @npub1993x...ymcw just joined #Mastodon !!!!! She's a well known and super talented #artist, teacher, activist and leader in the USA (and international) #pottery and #craft circles. Having someone like her on Mastodon is a big deal. She just joined and doesn't have many followers (yet), but hopefully you will give her a follow and boost her profile so that she feels welcome on this platform. @npub1993x...ymcw Welcome to Mastodon, Osa!!!

I'm getting ready for Chinese New Year 2025 with some SNAKE cups!!! This has been an adventure because the shape of a snake pushed me out of the normal way I compose a surface design...lets hope 2025 is full of creative breakthroughs for all of us!!! *work in progress--still plenty of carving to go before they go into the kiln #pottery #NewYear #Snake #art #kentucky #handmade #

I love snow days! Can't go out, so I'm staying busy in the clay studio. Just finished decorating these cardinal cups. A combination of painting, carving and inlay--the colors will be richer after going through the kiln--stay tuned--and stay warm!!! #pottery #art #snow #birds #cardinal #kentucky #handmade

Hope you are all having a good weekend so far! I almost forgot to share a photo of how nice the owl spice jars turned out after being fired. The forecast calls for a winter storm tomorrow in Kentucky! My favorite weather---perfect for staying home and making more pots! #pottery #owl #kentucky #art ##mastoArt

Hi All! Hope you are having a wonderful day so far. I've trimmed and handled the cups I threw during my New Year's Eve pot party! Am experimenting with different forms and proportions for tea style cups: vs my usual coffee mug. The next step is my favorite: surface decoration!!! My favorite right now is the bottom left, am curious which resonate with you all? #pottery #tea #porcelain #art #handmade #kentucky

2024 was a really big year for me in the art studio! A big, heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you who have believed in me and my work and helped made this possible! i inscribe my name, location and year on the bottom of all my pots. This morning, I just finished trimming a group of teacups that I threw on the wheel as part of my new years celebrations!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! #pottery #art #kentucky #handmade #happy2025
