This one needs a spot on the grid! Just got her out of the kiln. There is nothing quite like the feeling of trying something new and it being better than you even imagined! š
Back at it for 2026! I have been back on the wheel this week making for upcoming markets, a friendās wedding, and today.. for myself! I had a little voice in the back of my head say ājust throw something big and have some funā and Iām so glad I listened to it! Havenāt thrown 5lbs for a long time, and it was a great little confidence boost to remember that I can š letās hope she makes it through the rest of the process!
Weāre back for our Spring Makers Market!š·Join us on March 22nd from 10:00AM-4:00PM to welcome the new season and support local artists. Shop ceramics, vintage, jewelry, skincare, fiber art, stained glass, mosaics, printmaking, chocolate and more from 15 creators and vendors. Weāll also be collecting goods for the Ballard Food Bank during the market, keep an eye on our account for more information. Canāt wait to see you there!
Bug mug preorder coming later this week! You pick your bugs and colors, Iāll make your mug! There will be limited spots (6 for white speckled and 4 for black shiny or matte) so keep your eyes peeled for more details! šššŖ²šŖ³š
(Iām aiming for Thursday night PST⦠but will confirm on Thursday!)
My last market of the season is coming up next Saturday! Iāll be inside at @reubensbrews from 1-6pm for @ihimpopups ! Iāll then be dropping off things at @station7seattle , where youāll be able to find my work for the rest of the season!
Working hard on getting more bug mugs ready for this weekend, but thinking maybe a preorder in the new year where you can choose your bugs and colorsā¦. Let me know if youāre interested!!
What a week!! What a show!! What a season a life!! What incredible community!!
Last week was a big week in our house - markets are always a big push, and this year (particularly this holiday market season) has been a lot of learning for me about changing my own expectations of my productivity/success now that Iām spending my time looking after a babe rather than just purely making things. The universe works in funny ways, and sent us all an insane cold last week to force me to change my expectations, and remind me that just getting to a huge market is something to be celebrated!
Going in to the market with that mindset made it such an incredible weekend. Reconnecting with market friends and SO many other beautiful friends that came to see me, many who i havenāt seen in the last year. I was just filled with so much joy that you stopped by - canāt wait to emerge from my babe bubble and catch up with you all in the new year.
So many familiar customer faces, amazing conversations, new relationships built and stories shared - I am so lucky to have my work in your homes, your friends homes and to be selected as gifts for your loved ones. Thank you!
And maybe most importantly, the work I made for this show has felt like my best work yet. Definitely the work I have been most proud of and excited to share with the world. Maybe thatās because it took so much more of me to make it this time. Maybe because it has so much more meaning to me as a reclaiming of my Self and my identity. I unpacked the last kiln and instead of picking out things and thinking they were fine, I could really see the beauty in them - it was an incredible feeling, a place that I have worked hard to get to and so proud I have made it there (for the moment)!
Thank you for being my community and supporting my work! Even if you didnāt buy anything this weekend or even make it to the market - thank you for being here! Thank you for supporting me to grow! Thank you for your encouragement, conversation, input, kind words and love!
I feel so so lucky to have you in my corner!! š
A selection of things available this weekend at @renegadecraft (tiny hand for scale)! Iām in booth #48 sharing with the beautiful @onyxandpetal and I found out today Iām right opposite @whimsywood.co and I canāt wait to stare at Haley and her amazing work all weekend! 11-5 both days, looking forward to seeing you there!
Join us on November 16th from 10AM-4PM for our first Makers Market! Weāll have some amazing local artists and vendors in the space selling their handmade goods to kick off the holiday season. Our doors will be open to the public (no cover fee) and all ages are welcome! Follow the link in our bio for more info on the Makers Market and to RSVP today!

So excited to be vending at 3 holiday markets this season, especially when I thought I would be overwhelmed in babyworld and not back to ceramics yet. Please let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to see and Iāll try my best to make them for you! As always everything will be one or few of a kind. Swipe to see where Iāll be - canāt wait to see you all!! š
P.s. Iāll also have work throughout the holiday season at @station7seattle and a few pieces in @rain.city.clay holiday show.
Some cute cups went in the kiln tonight! Canāt wait to see how these turn out - really liking where this new work is going. Seems to be a little snapshot into my life right now. Summer, getting dressed and lost socks! š§¦
(Excuse the lighting - 9pm kiln loads do not make for good lighting)
Things have been looking a little different around here over the last 3 months! I have definitely been busy, just with squishy little hands rather than ceramics. This weekend I got back on the wheel for the first time since January and it was magical! ⨠looking forward to chipping away at making some new things in preparation for a hopeful holiday market š¤ Canāt wait to share with you the new things Iām making, which have so much more meaning to me now that they are the physical evidence of my me time š
