A set of custom ouroboros mugs that live across the country now. It's fun to line them up like this ♾ All of my work is thrown, formed, painted, carved, glazed & fired by me. 👐

The April studio playlist has been up since the new moon (🔗up top ), and now I'm hoping you'll diversify it. Loose themes for April = diamonds and rain and maybe taxes sneaking in there a li'l bit. 💎⛈️☔💸 Head up to my story to suggest additions! I'm working on a wide array of fun orders today and never losing sight of how grateful I am to be doing something I truly love. Hope you're carpe-ing this diem, too! #mementomori

A little #fbf in honor of First Friday tonight at Studio 210! I'll be in studio from 5-9 hanging out with all my usual buds, @opalandgold , @whiskeyandbone & @wildwashco PLUS we'll also have guests @melaniekasten henna, @positivepeopleposse , and @colorblokc AND the new amazingly gorgeous @oraclekc space is open directly downstairs! Come say hi 👋 on this beautiful evening!

Just posted a couple more mugs and cups so the day shift could have a crack at them! ♢ a couple important notes: 1 ) This mini update includes only mugs and cups. There will be another posting of dishes, small bottles and jewelry soon. 2 ) Sometimes I sing 'Thank You for Being a Friend' very loudly and with too much feeling to my pets or to myself and it really brightens my whole outlook. I hope you'll try it.

Hi, friends! It has been a wet & wild month! I have a few pieces going up tonight at 8. I learned so much from last month's big update -- I scaled this one back quite a bit to help me catch up on fulfillment, and meet deadlines on some other exciting projects. I know some of you are still waiting on your orders, and most of those should be received in the next few days. I truly appreciate all the kindness and patience! 🖤🙏🖤

I've tested this out on a couple people, and I don't think there's any way for it to not sound pretentious, but it's true, so ¯\_(ツ )_/¯ March always reminds me of ancient Rome. Starting with the name of the month itself: Mars, Rome's favorite god and the beginning of their year in many ways. And today, March's Ides, a day to consider conspirators, emperors and soothsayers. I would say that March is not a chill month. It's full of change, disruption, desolation becoming creation. My March playlist has been up for awhile, full of drumline beats and songs about the weather, but I'd love to add your suggestions to it. Do you have any March songs?

Casual studio sunset photo 💀🌄My phone and I have been ill this past week, but we're on the mend!

Throwing a few mugs in studio this Friday night. I love this creative, nurturing space. 💕 (This is at 4x speed, so about 2 minutes in real time! 😊 )

My friends!!! I am fulfilled by the support you've shown me. It's also delightful that so many of you enjoy my work to the point that you wanted to make it part of your daily lives. Thank you, from my heart. ❤️

Fresh update! Get 'em while they're hot & wiggly and before I drop 'em on the floor! (Use code LOCAL for KC area pickup or delivery )

The update is today at 8 p.m. CST, so this two-headed snake and its mirror egg could be headed for your wall as soon as tonight! 🐍🥚🐍 also snake mugs and many other pieces will finally become available! Check my story for important mug info!

These little bottles are great for libations, potions, & flowers, anything you want! They'll all be listed in my update tomorrow at 8 p.m. CST. 🐍🐍🐍🐍 I'm partial to the second from the left.

My personal fave of this little bunch is the 🌿💀 with a gold tooth. 🖤🖤🖤 (props to @curioscape_designs -- that crown was her idea 👑 when she and @grimoira333 came by the studio last year )

Looking back at this little bat 🖤🦇🖤 who found an excellent home with @overgrown_nightshade I'm gradually getting better at painting tiny bats, but check out my story for an adorably wonky medieval bat.

Custom shot glasses! I met @jennaraemusic at a fabulous @donnasdressshop pop up late last year, and when she asked if I might be able to make a round of ceramic shot glasses for her to sell as merch for her album Workin Woman, I jumped at the chance! It was a super fun project, I love how they turned out, and I sure can agree with the sentiment 💪❤️ If you're in KC go check out one of her shows and grab one!

It was too hard to decide which shape to go with for these snake handle mugs, so I made a bunch of both! Do you have a preference? Mugs are such a personal thing -- what shape is your favorite mug?

Trimming pots at my home studio on this snowy day! This video is in real time. I was going to put a cool song over top of this, but I actually think it's pretty awesome and 1000% more true to life that you can hear my pet starlings Chicken and Biscuit singing along to The Platters in the background 🤣 🎤🐦🐦 • (special thanks to @kylestrahm_ for the video assist! )

Still waiting on some glaze supplies, so I decided to move my shop update to next Wednesday, February 27th (which is good news, because it means I have a little time to make more pieces! ) I always say this, because it's always true: I'm so excited to show you what I've been working on! 💕
