The next pottery update is now live! I ended up going all out with animals this update along with a couple of experiments here and there.

This is the group photo for my vessels in my August/September pottery collection. This collection features four dragon vessels, two Fresno Nightcrawler vessels, one Running Wolf vessel, and a Barn Swallow vessel.

Before I get into all of the pottery pieces, I also wanted to mention that I'm having a month-long birthday sale in my shop! All enamel pin products are now 40% off from now until the end of the month!
Discount is applied automatically in your cart so no coupon code necessary!

Here's a look at all of the pieces! Some have already sold via my Patreon, but there's still some available! The White Tiger was my absolute favourite this round. I'm SO PROUD of how it turned out, and I came very close to not letting it go! LOL

I got back on the wheel to practice throwing larger vessels and to work on centering my clay. I'm so excited that I'm actually improving and getting it! This means I can make larger mugs and larger vessels, and one day—lidded jars!
