According to @johnchaski_inc I have been neglecting your need for #cobaltblue - here are some of my small jars from the recent kiln firing with a few new cover designs. I really enjoy the design I highlighted with more photos and think I will make more like that. What do you think? . #oohshiny #stoneware #pottery #ceramic #keramik #woodfiredpottery #saltglazedpottery #saltglazed

Today's diversion from clay- I spent the day reading 18th and 19th century documents related to the emancipation of potter Abraham Spencer's father, grandparents, and other family members. They were emancipated in the will of Robert Carter III who freed hundreds of slaves at the end of the 18th and early 19th centuries. . #powerfulstuff #potterscholar #freepottersofcolor #ceramicsinamerica #ceramichistorynerd #ceramichistory #americanhistory

I love when historic ceramics remind us that people in the past had a sense of (sometime raunchy) humor. Happy Valentine's Day y'all! . #historicalceramics #pottery #keramik #Repost @pottedhistory (@get_repost) ・・・ Nothing says 'Happy Valentines Day' like a replica statue of a trouser-less, Greek actor, impersonating a politician. I'll let you decided which specific politician!

Got back to the wheel today with these tall slender beauties. . I've been looking at mineral bottles made in Germany in the 18th century (made later and before too) that are shaped a bit like this and visions of slip trailing and the deep green glaze made with clay from my farm have been dancing in my mind. . #backatit #historicinspiration #workingtowardawoodfiring #pottery #keramik #ceramics #stoneware #ncmaker #ncmade

Set up this morning at the Cumberland Rifle Show after a long drive - you might spot some new and different looking pieces there on the left! They are 18th century forms based on archaeology and pieces I have handled over the years. . #newadventures #experimentalarchaeology #historicalceramics #ceramichistorynerd

I was so moved to receive this note from @georgepottery that I had to share and I added my own little note over top. That's a blast from the past mug she's holding, circa 2007, Berea College! . #goodconnections #clayfriends #blastfromthepast #pottery
