October Pottery
Group photo of my latest pottery. Features a variety mugs with black sgraffito designs consisting of my swallow, Fresno Nightcrawler, and Running Horse motifs. There is also my Howling Wolf totem in the center.

October's pottery is now available!

Some pieces have already sold via early access on my Patreon page, but there are still some pieces available.

Not as many totems or mugs this time. Half of my mug batch was loaded in a different kiln so they weren't finished by the time this shop update was put together. And I wanted to hold off on glaze firing the other totems I built until I get the clear glaze sorted.

I'm still working out the studio's clear glaze but it's almost there! I'm just happy to be vindicated knowing that the issue is definitely with the glaze itself LOL

This month, I wanted to get better at making mug handles, and so I was much more intentional at my approach on building them vs just winging it. I cover that and more behind-the-scenes stuff in this Patreon post!

I also went hog wild with making more wall slabs, and wanted to play with a circular cookie cutter I found. That Arrow Sparrow is definitely my favourite one I've created so far.

Here's a look at all of the pieces—
