Jesse Davis, Clay Wanderer
Clay Wanderer creates fun and functional ceramics for special days and every day. The majority of making time is spent detailing intricate surfaces. Every image and motif is hand-drawn and carved. Themes include optimistic skeletons of the dinosaur and human variety, octopi and merfolk, as well as botanical and nature scenes local to Western Carolina (had to have somethi

ng to share with our Grandma). Midrange celadon glazes are formulated and mixed in house. Attention and care at every step guarantees each piece is as unique as we are.

Tonight's mint sleepytime tea is brewed in a mug from my first series outside of school. Although I loved carving, I felt inlay was more cost efficient. So I made oodles of tattooed bodacious babes. Especially fond of the rockabilly ruffle panties. I'm glad I set her aside for myself.

Today I have drank approximately 17 gallons of hot tea from my mug. I love the way the warmth radiates to the exterior clay. And I especially enjoy fiddling with the transition from raw clay to smooth white glaze. This mug is keeping me safe, one peppermint sachet at a time.

When I need a healing, comforting beverage, I reach for this yunomi over and over. The piece fits my tiny hands and full yet hesitant lips. Even holding it empty brings a deeper breath and the beginning of peace. Thank you for this blessing, Missy.
