Time to load the kiln for bisque! ๐๐
There are a couple more mystery items along for the ride this time, too. ๐
#ceramics #ceramicart #artist #handmade #clay #clayart #handmadeceramics #pottery
My favorite is mister Whiskers, but don't tell the others! ๐คซ
I can't tell you how eager I am to fire these guys! And to glaze them, even!
Tomorrow, I'll try loading the kiln to see how close I am to filling it for a firing. I want to cram it as full as I can to fire efficiently and have an even load. ๐๐ฅ
The bone dry stage is always such a fragile stage; I'm always afraid I might drop, bump or crush the pieces. So far, only one casualty (if you've seen my stories the last month, you'll know which one ๐ฅน). After the first firing, the pieces are much more resilient. So I can't wait to get the kiln going. ๐ฅ๐
Please let me know your fave from this batch, I'm so excited to know! ๐

Figured it was time for a small introduction post. ๐ Hi guys, I'm Joany (she/they), but feel free to call me Jutter!
Some facts about me:
๐ I started pottery in early 2023, but have been illustrating & working with clay for a while before then!
๐ฆญ The name Jutter comes from the Dutch word for beachcomber, which is what people from my hometown are called!
๐ I grew up near the sea and love the beach!
๐ชด What I love most about ceramics is blurring the line between the 2D illustrations and the 3D clay, and how the possibilities are endless!
๐บ I studied ancient history (and the Roman Empire is my Roman Empire)!
I've always meant to make an introduction post to pin to my wall, but never really got to it haha! ๐
Feel free to drop a cool fact about yourself in the comments, I'd love to get to know you (better) ๐
(If you don't know what to tell, let me know about your favorite ceramic item you have in your home, like a beloved tea mug or favorite plate!)

Galaxy dragon! ๐โจ๏ธ
Although.. I made it when I was having a migraine. So maybe migraine dragon? ๐ฅนโจ๏ธ
In all honesty, it was nice to focus on something other than the pain and still create something. My attacks have been more frequent lately, and I've been trying to find ways to better deal with the pain.
Keeping myself occupied as much as I comfortably can does seem to help to experience the pain differently, but I gotta admit, it's been rough. ๐ For now, I try to appreciate the pain-free days as much as I can. ๐
I'm so excited to get this batch of elemental dragons fired also!!! ๐ค I'll keep you guys posted!
#ceramics #handmade
Sea you later ๐๐โโ๏ธ
Wanted to to a turn around of this water baby too!! That makes three elemental dragons done ๐ค๐
Now I'm a but stuck on what element to paint on a mug next ๐ฅน maybe galaxy? (That's not an element but-)
Help me pick the next 'element'! (Or drop one in the comments if you want!)
Make way, spring is here! ๐ฟ๐ค๐บ
The next elemental dragon is plant themed! ๐ I couldn't resist adding flowers ๐ฅน and I might've gone a bit overboard with the background leafs!
Loving the process of making this series so much, guys!
#ceramics #dragon #handmade
I cast fireball! โ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Next elemental dragon on the roster! It'll change a BUNCH after firing but we'll see! ๐ค Had a lot of fun with this one, he's so happy and fast!!

I deeply feel generative AI has no place in art. So it's probably no surprise that @parispaloma 's new song Miyazaki resonates so much with me. ๐
When I saw an announcement for her fanart challenge, in which we were invited to take a sentence from the song and make art around it, I couldn't help but pour my feelings into a mug!
I'll be real with you. We gotta cherish the very human experience that is making art, something we are all invited to by nature. And I don't even mean professional art that has to be 'good'. Art and crafts in general allow us to express who we are and what we feel, and to leave our mark, to pass it on to others and to say 'I was here, I spent time here, this is me'. No one can make YOUR art for you, just like no one can live your life for you. Imperfections are welcome. Aren't we all imperfect, and isn't that beautiful in itself?
I feel the strong need to push back against 'innovations' that seek to replace humanity with slop for the sake of profit and control. That remove our skills and makes me believe we can't do things on our own. We can, and we must!
In this illustration I tried to capture the feeling that I experience when I'm in an art flow: fully at ease, present, connected to my body, free. ๐ I hope that resonates with you, too!

Two little guys, made in Asia?? It's more likely than you think!! โ
This weekend, me and @jutter.ceramics will be attending Heroes Made in Asia in Utrecht! You'll find us smack dab in the middle of the Artist Alley at booth AA96! When we're not taking a ride on the mysterious convention rollercoaster, that is. No con catalogue, you'll just have to come hang out with us to find out ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฆญ
