Waiheke landscapes x

Day 16 of my self-imposed art residency while housesitting and dogsitting with my very patient friend April and a very well-mannered Airedale 🥰

Same glazes, different glaze application, but different mood.

I’m curious - which one would you reach for first?

The organic, soft, drippy ones? Or the more layered landscape-style ones? 😊

Made with Cacao clay from and finished with Abbots glazes 🤎

So many different jug shapes to be made!!! It’s endless!

Pleased to report these all pour well and I’m totally in love with this speckled clay too from ! 🥰

Challenging myself super early this morning – hoping to get handles on these 2 boards of mugs by 10am … with a hot coffee in a mug from a recent firing that started this batch ☕

Just getting on with it, and thinking of everyone still being affected by the recent and ongoing flooding. Sending a virtual hot coffee and a big comforting hug your way 🤍.

Take care and know that you ARE resilient and things WILL get better. ❤️‍🩹

Hey - Arts Trail Manawatu - stop by at 181 Oxford St, Ashhurst. 😊

My verandah pottery shop is open anytime but you might like to check out both my studio and my new space for pottery workshops, have-a-go on the wheel experience and paint-a-plate fun.

I’d love to show you around 😊

Off to the kiln we go … with nothing but a wee bit of charm, some s***k and a whole lot of optimism that he isn’t gonna slump when things get hot in the kiln tonight! 🔥🥵🌶️ 😉🤣
