My last #selfie for the algorithm before I deleted IG last weekend. Goodbye after 12 yrs + 50k followers 👋🏾 I couldn’t have done it if I hadn’t gained some traction here, so thank you for following.

I grew up in #punkrock and #anarchist organizing, so moving to #NonCorporate and #decentralized social media feels full circle. I want my #pottery to be part of a future of thought that represents progress and liberation.

Here’s the finished planter—a custom engagement gift for plant lovers beginning their lives together. The dark pink background is Alabama clay, and now you can see how the green Ontario clay looks on the leaves after firing. The other colors come from glazes that I make in-studio. The orchid was a gift given to me over a year ago and I hope it flowers again! I’m not great with orchids so keep your fingers crossed 🤞🏾 Now, she goes back in her hiding place, away from direct sun. #plants #pottery

A rare snippet of my decorating process. Here I’m filling in the monstera pattern on this planter with terra sigillata (a watery, refined clay slip) made with clay from Ontario. This is much different than painting—it’s basically glaze application. The difference is, I’m applying three layers of terra sig to achieve my desired result. If I apply the sig too thinly, it will come out brown. Three coats (and proper firing) gives me a rich olive green with a bit of variegation. #pottery #ceramics
