What a fun weekend! We took a workshop from @meredithhost held at @st.johnsclay and it was so great to learn, experiment and play! Thanks for sharing your skills and tips, Meredith! Especially about using silkscreens, which we’ve struggled with and needed some insider info on how to get them to just freaking work already. #ceramicworkshop #funandlearning #meredithhostworkshop

It was Intern Matchy Day! Cute overalls and matching greens: it’s like working with us can induce coordinating outfits! Today was @leah_culber last day with us, and we’re so proud of her and wish her the best after graduation! If you’ve brought home a berry basket with ladybugs in the last 8 months, it’s likely that she and @flowery.finley had a hand in making it. We are so fortunate to have their help! #jampdxintern #wehavethebestinterns #matchymatchy #jampdxstudiolife #jampdxbehindthescenes

After a couple lovely days of rest and recovery, we’re back in the studio taking stock of what pots we sold (hello, spreadsheets!) and what to do with the pots we brought back with us. We have just five pieces left in our new Berries and Flowers design, and we wanted to offer them to you first! If you’d like to purchase, please send us an email ([email protected]) and include your zip code so we can determine shipping costs. We have: - Large vase in Aqua, measures 8.5” tall, 5” across at the widest part, 3” opening. ⭐️$230. - Gallery vase in Spring Pea, measures 11” tall, 5.75” at the widest part, with an oval opening that measures 4.25” x 3.5”. This one is a bit heavier at the base making it perfect for sunflowers and other weighty flowers. ⭐️$380 - Large vase in Blossom, measures 8.5” tall, 5” across at the widest part, 3” opening. ⭐️$230 - Prototype teacup in Aqua, measures 4” tall with a 3” opening. This was part of our testing process, so the underglaze colors are a little different from the finished design. ⭐️$80 - Cupcake stand in Guava, measures 5.25” across at the top, 6.24” across at the widest point, and 3.5” tall. ⭐️$80.

Spent the entire afternoon in my yard yesterday, touching grass and telling my plants what a good job they’re doing. I have a shady corner for lily of the valley and I’m so glad I didn’t miss them this year. Last year one pink flower stalk showed up and now there are five of them! And check out this OG JaMpdx vase from over 20 years ago. Still a sweet little vase and a favorite for wee blooms. #lilyofthevalley #yeoldeJaMpdxvase #springtimeinportland

Thank you, Ceramic Showcase! 🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 We had a great time meeting new artists, reconnecting with friends, talking with customers about how we make our work, and wearing totes adorbs matching outfits! My brain is too tired to do math, but I think this might be our best Showcase yet. 👍👍 And also a sad one for the memory books because our gallery piece got broken. 👎👎 Swipe to the end for the whole scene. All the people are fine, thankfully, and it’s just clay. Nothing like a big dramatic smash to silence an entire convention hall! #ceramicshowcase #matchymatchy #cakedecoratedpots @ceramicshowcase

Finished! And so damn pretty! 😍 Thanks to every who send good vibes for this vase! 💜 I really do think all that good energy flowed into it, and the result is just magical. I’ve been swearing at the this entire Berries and Flowers collection, but this one is damn gorgeous!

It’s a free event! #berriesandflowers #ceramicshowcase #cakedecoratedpots #porcelainflowers #clayfrosting

A little behind the scenes for you! 😍👍 Our new Berries and Flowers design has been an idea for at least a year, and we tested glaze and underglaze combinations for months before we had it dialed in exactly how we wanted it. We knew we wanted 4-8 glazes with white flowers, ladybugs, and perfectly colored vines and berries for each glaze. Usually we test colors on tiles or scraps of clay, but this time we tested on teacups and we’re SO GLAD we did! Getting to see the swirl of pattern and color on actual pots was invaluable. Here are two of my favorite color progressions, with prototypes on the left side and final designs on the right. Notice that even the pop of color at the center of the white flowers was finessed. We’ll have the entire collection (and all the prototype teacups) at Ceramic Showcase this weekend! #jampdxbehindthescenes #prototypeprocess #berriesandflowers #cakedecoratedpots @ceramicshowcase

Still a little too hot to unload, but it’s impossible to not take a peek! We’re getting closer to Ceramic Showcase (April 24-26) and closer to getting to show you all these pretty new pieces! 😍 @ceramicshowcase @oregonpotters #ceramicshowcase #cakedecoratedpots #kilnopeningisbetterthanchristmas #porcelainflowers #berriesandflowers
