It may be chilly outside, but there are flowers blooming in my studio! I'm trying some new forms with my carved designs and looking forward to the results. #flowers #floralarrangement #workingtowardawoodfiring #workinprogress #ncmaker #ncclay
This is a great large antique dish made here in America. I had to tease @johnchaski_inc that he photographed it wrong - that he should have photographed it 90 degrees rotated right to show how it was fired in the kiln- upright! How can you tell? The green oxide often ran when combined with the lead glaze, so if you follow the flow it'll show you when way was down. We get so used to using and seeing kiln shelves that we forget potters historically didn't really use them (pre-1870) and even fired bigger pieces upright and stacked against one another. #potterscholar #ceramicshistorynerd #ceramicsinamerica #Repost @johnchaski_inc (@get_repost) ・・・ Flip your phone ⤵️ and you’ll see that this loaf dish was fired upright with the daubs of copper oxide glaze dripping downward . . .

Small studio visitor! I spotted this tiny spider dangling off the edge of a large dish! #spider #insectsonclay #pottery #ncmaker #ncpottery
Bottles are my favorite form to make. I love how they are thrown, but I especially love how they feel balanced on my hand while I pull the handles. #ilovemyjugs (hehehe) #workinprogress #process #workingtowardawoodfiring #stoneware #ncmaker #ncclay
I love when relatives know I like wonky old pots! A relative, while traveling in England, picked this up for me. I love that it got squished in the kiln because historic (pre-1870) potters didn't use kiln shelves- so this little guy had a bar of clay on the top of it and one on the bottom and was crammed among many other pots! It probably dates to the 1600s, maybe a little earlier. Isn't it great? #ilikeoldpotsandicannotlie #ceramichistorynerd #historicceramics #stoneware #potterscholar
On the eve of my own day of birth, I can't help but look toward the child I gave birth to and his own future. I love when he wants to "play clay" now and asks me to make him something to mash and mold. They are his #sculpture ! #kidsinclay #mamapotter #ncclay #ncmaker #workingtowardawoodfiring
