been back to my tile making in the shop over here. it has been a long development process on this project, but its one that is very near and dear to my heart. as much as i enjoy making my wares, i also believe that art must be made approachable to everyone. #tile #handmade #folkart #clay #art
making up another tile batch today, and finally got round to striking this new pattern. very excited to see how they turn out #tile #handmade #clay #tiles #decor #skull #smallbusiness #stoneware #cottageindustry
yall know i am about finding personal peace, but personal peace while keeping silence about injustice is apathy... i am not about apathy. a better way is possible when we work towards it, and we must speak out about the abuses of our human family
i have nothing against hard work, its most of what i do... but because i like to see the fruits of my labors, i advocate that others reap the rewards of their work as well. there is no sense in hustling or grinding for a system that is rigged against us #pottery #clay #labor #solidarity #work
been a busy week over here, finally got the bisque kiln wired up, loaded, and have it candling. here i am unloading a tile drying rack onto my bench before cleaning up the edges and preparing them to go into the kiln... slow process, and the road is long #tile #handmade #folkart #clay #humanmade
Was just working on some skulls today, thinking a little, and decided to speak my mind a bit... sure im preaching to the choir, but worthy of thought anyhow #skull #motivation #inspiration #freethought #wildclay #pottery #sculpture #clay
took some time today to finish up this poison jug... it is dedicated to hate, the greatest toxin known to society, and one of the most common. it is well past time to bottle this awful habit and bury it so deep it is never seen again. #pottery #poisonbottle #wildclay #folkart #skull
wish yall a happy solstice. our humanity is important and worthy of keeping. there is no ideology, dogma, or reward worth losing it for. to deny the humanity of others is to deny our own, if thats not the selling ones soul, im not sure what is. #humanity #morality #folkart #humanism #pottery
i spend alot of time thinking about the deeply delusional and illusory aspects of society, and my own participation and complicity in it. this sortof leads me to not enjoy social media, it brings gifts, but it is not our friend #pottery #society #justthinking #social #reality
ive made several videos about my process for creating work, but with pottery, especially heavily detailed pieces, its just as important how we dry the work. i have used this tent method for many years, and almost never have any issue with drying cracks #pottery #clay #folkart #wildclay #stoneware
