Hello loves!

I wanted to end my time of non posting here on IG and give yall a little update. Its been four and a half months and I am feeling pretty good these days. Though my brain isn’t 100% yet, its getting there!

And - I finally got to throw some pots at the studio today!!!!

SO OKAY LOOK AT THIS CLAY YALL!

I am obsessed and there’s more to this photo than meets the eye. A little teenie secret of sorts! But in the best way, hopefully.

This long break and a whole mess of life craziness has me feeling like its time for a lil change in my work. A stirring in my soul thats been brewing for quite sometime. The last few years have continuously reiterated to me that life is short and fleeting and staying stuck, not living with passion and not branching out doesn’t serve any of us. So I’m quite literally “throwing”caution to the wind and trying out a whole lot of ideas that I’ve been ruminating on for years, actually. The passion that I feel with my hands in clay has been continuous and the core of what makes me whole. That passion has had many iterations over the years. But i feel strangely more alive in my little mud brain than ever before and the little fire in my kiln shaped heart is huge and consuming me in all the best ways. So I don’t quite know what will come of all of this yet but i am hoping its a good change! I don’t want to jinx it, so I won’t reveal too much. Stay tuned!

Thank yall for reading and I hope you too get to live your life guided by the indelible passion that fuels your existence.

Also, if you made it this far and also make cone six work, I am looking for a fool proof cone six white slip recipe. Many years ago I changed my work because I had a ton of issues with my white slip. I don’t want to go through that again! If you would be so kind, please holler at me with your magical tried and true white dip slips!!! 🫶

Happy friday, dear friends! Its that time of year again! There’s so many sweet events this weekend, please make sure to include .clay.collective ‘s fifth annual open house and studio sale in your sunday plans! I am home and recovering, feeling a little better and a little stronger every day. While I am hoping to feel okay enough to come by for an hour or two on Sunday, I can’t say for sure how I will feel at any given time. However, my sweet studiomates offered to sell all my seconds (and a handful of firsts) for me. Aren’t they the best??? 🥰 Anyhoo, this is the only time of year I sell seconds! Hope to see yall there!

I have so much to thankful for this year, but this big sweet beautiful community has been so amazing and brought me to tears so many times. Thank you thank you thank you! Happy holidays, sweet loves!

My Thursday morning seasoned beginners class wowed the heck out of me yesterday. Pretty little pots, drying in the early fall sunlight, and lined up as far as I could see. My little heart was just beaming seeing them do their thing ✨💖✨

I love this cute photo of my work in its new home! Thank you !

Made my way back up the mountain today with a heart full of gratitude and love, still giddy from the this past weekend. On this one year anniversary of the storm that forever altered the face of our community, I am endlessly thankful for all the support we have received after this crazy year here in wnc! The Mint Museum has really been just amazing, showing up and offering so many opportunities to all of us.

And thanks to you, everyone who showed up this weekend to support our community. We are humbled. We are grateful.

BIG THANKS to for being the honest to goodness best show assistant for yet another year. I dont want to do it without you! and to my ♥️ for helping me make it through - again and again and again. And finally to and for being such good family. I love all of yall!
