When is a better time to get back in the studio than when everything is in utter chaos? TODAY of course!! It's still a mess and I'm currently hiding from the swarm of wasps I unknowingly disturbed (they had taken up residence and have been asked kindly to relocate but I doubt they'll listen 🫠.) Anyway here's a pic of the first thing I've thrown in 8 years. Listening to my music, sweating profusely, and very, very dirty. This is one of my happy places 🕶

Ventured back into the studio today for the first time in a long time. We have lights again!!! Aaron helped me with everything. There's still more work to be done, but I'm about halfway to being up and running.
It was his birthday yesterday so I made him a cheesecake 🍮

Quick update for those who may not know: I am a full time student 😎 I'm studying Sonography. Once I graduate I'll be an Ultrasound Technologist, registered in Abdominal and Obstetric Sonography. This takes up ALL my time!!! I love it but it is HARD. I haven't made any new pottery pieces in about a year and a half. I do, however, have a creative outlet, and that's music. I play guitar and piano and that keeps me connected to my love of the arts. And, surprisingly, there is much overlap between the worlds of art and sonography/medicine. Who knew?!! I appreciate the messages and requests for custom pottery pieces, but at this time pottery is no longer my main focus. I am so humbled by those that have taken an interest in my creative endeavors! I have a small collection of pieces pulled from the tiny inventory I have left- these are at Jefferson Patterson Park in St. Leonard for anyone who would like to make a purchase. When school is over I may return to making pottery part time- but it's too early to tell! For now I must go study the 8,000,000 different pathologies of the liver/pancreas/spleen/kidneys/etc.
Wish me luck!!! 🤪😀😍

Had a great time with some of my clay friends over at Ray's studio today. Played around with some underglazes and got to take home that little raku beauty (last picture.) Good times!
