A candle holder with an alkaline glaze from round 2 of my last raku class. The glaze came out very cool with an alien planet vibe.

A buffalo bottle with a ferric chloride finish from round 2 of raku class!

A fanciful handbuilt creature from round 2 of raku! I started making them with no solid plan and really like where the creative spirits moved me. I'm also very happy with the range of colors that came out in the firing! 🌈✨️

Yet another cave painting pony inspired piece from raku round 2. I am SO HAPPY with this one!

Part 3 of the work from my raku class. A wormy demon inspired by Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke. He is underglazed with clear crackle and a copper wash for iridescence. I've been working on this one for a long while and am pretty happy with the results!

Part 2 of the work from my raku class. A little crow with underglaze, clear crackle, and copper wash. A quail with underglaze, clear crackle, copper red, and Ron's turquoise. I still need to make the quail a little head doodle.

Part 1 of the work from my raku class. A saggar fired pot and a little horse hair bottle with cave painting style ponies painted in underglaze.

Another of my favorites from my last wheel class! This one is a gift for my grandma who loves flowers 💖🌸💖 I'm really happy with how they turned out. 🥰

I'm really happy with the shape I got on this bowl. The walls are pretty even and thin and the foot turned out nice too! I also like how the glaze looks, especially the light blue over the dark.

A Jack Skellington cup I made in my most recent wheel class. I like how the glaze striping turned out. It might be fun to do a whole cup of just stripes sometime!

Decided to paint outside in a storm to see what would happen.

It has examples of my professional work as well as personal pieces and sketches. Please drop me a line if you know of anything I might be a good fit for!

hi ! im wondering what exactly you mean by ethical labor and materials? i have no doubt the best has been done to reduce exploitation and harm, but everyone has a different definiion of ethical, so i'd love details ! (maybe you precised it somewhere already if that's the case sorry)

our skirts are made in a factory with SEDEX (supplier ethical data exchange) and OEKO-TEX standard 100 certifications. the former certifies ethical labor practices (proper wages, clean working environments, documented proper hours, health professionals on staff, etc) and the latter certifies responsible textile production (proper disposal of waste material, a commitment to minimizing waste, a properly investigated supply chain that ensures everything from the dyes, elastic, and other materials are made ethically).

as a small business we do not have the infrastructure or funds to launch audits of the manufacturers we work with, and even for larger companies running investigations all the way up the supply chain to track things like the production of buttons, hooks and eyes, and other fixings is extremely difficult and expensive, so certifications like this are invaluable to us.
