Join us this weekend for the annual @oregonpotters 🍁Fall Fair🍁 at @cornellfarm , enjoy the luminous and joyful ceramic art of @jpak_pottery , she’s real treasure in our ceramic community✨ We’ll be here all weekend long, Fri-Sat-Sun 10-5

Featured Artist: Jennifer Pak - @jpak_pottery pottery Find her mugs at @albinapresscoffee "l create functional ceramics using translucent porcelain and stoneware for both electric and atmospheric firing. Most of my work involves detailed illustrations, outlining using Mishima techniques and underglaze pencils. All images are created spontaneously with what comes to my mind as I begin to illustrate. They're then meticulously hand painted with underglaze and glaze, gold luster and mother of pearl, going through 4 separate firings until each piece is ready for a new home. It's a long process which requires time and patience but I enjoy each and every step of it. As much love, joy and happiness I pour into my work, I hope what I create brings the same to many others." -Jennifer Pak

Calling all mug enthusiasts!✨ Portland Mug Project is back! You can find us at both @albinapresscoffee locations, all year long ✨ #handmadepottery #shino #grumpyfrogs #woodfiredpottery #gaypottery #handpaintedpottery #portlandpottery #portlandoregon #magicalpottery #handmademugs #mugs #albinapress #oregonpottersassociation #oregonpottery
