☀️📅 Save the Dates This Summer! 📅☀️

Summer event season is right around the corner, and I wanted to share a couple of dates where you'll be able to find The Glaze Garden out on the grounds of Old Central School!

🎨 July 11th – MacRostie Art Fair
Come find us outside during this wonderful celebration of art and creativity! The shop is currently planned to be closed while we're participating in the fair.

🌲 August 1st & 2nd – Tall Timber Days
We'll be set up outside on the Old Central School grounds for the festivities and look forward to seeing both familiar and new faces.

The photo I'm sharing here is from Tall Timber Days 2024, and looking back at it is a little surreal. Over the past 2 years, my pottery has changed so much. The forms are more refined, the glazing has become more adventurous, and I've spent countless hours testing, learning, and pushing myself to create better work with every kiln firing.

Sometimes it's easy to focus on how far there is still to go, but photos like this remind me how far I've already come. 💚

Thank you to everyone who has supported that journey—whether you've purchased a piece, attended a class, shared a post, or simply cheered me on along the way.

I can't wait to show you what's new this summer. 🌿✨

✨☕ New Mug Designs Coming to the Studio This Week! ☕✨

I’ve been playing with some new glaze combinations and design ideas, and this one is absolutely making the cut. 😍

This mug starts with what honestly looks like a pretty simple (and maybe slightly questionable 😅) glaze application… but after the kiln works its magic? Bold movement, dramatic blues, and that beautiful organic flow we all love. 💙🔥

One of my favorite parts of pottery is the transformation — the before rarely tells the full story.

I’ll be making more mugs in this style throughout the week, and yes… I’m already planning the next variation. 👀✨

Would you drink your morning coffee from this one? Or would you like to glaze one yourself? ☕💚

🌸✨ The cherry blossoms are finally in bloom at Old Central School, and honestly… my walk into the shop has been absolutely stunning lately. ✨🌸

There’s something special about arriving at the studio surrounded by all this spring color and sunshine. It feels like the whole building wakes up this time of year. 💚

If you’ve been looking for a reason to wander through Old Central School, shop small, or spend a little creative time in the studio, this is a pretty beautiful week to do it. 🌿

🎨💧 Watercolor Bowls Class — Tuesday, May 26th | 5–6 PM 💧🎨

Ready to try something a little magical? ✨

In this class, we’ll start with a bisqueware bowl, apply a soft white glaze base, and then add drops of color that will flow and blend beautifully in the kiln — creating dreamy watercolor-like movement like the blues and yellows in this featured bowl.

This class is great for beginners and honestly a bit of an easy win — no complicated techniques, just a fun, approachable way to play with glaze and let the kiln do some of the magic. 💚

Every bowl turns out a little differently, which is part of the fun — equal parts creativity and surprise.

If you’ve been wanting to experiment with glaze in a relaxed, low-pressure way, this is a perfect class to jump into.

✨🔥 Glaze Magic: Before & After 🔥✨

One of my favorite things about pottery is this exact moment — when a piece goes from “trust the process…” to WOW. 😍

These two bowls started with careful glaze planning, a little experimentation, and a whole lot of kiln trust. The “before” photos show the layered glaze application (which honestly can look a little questionable sometimes 😅)… and the “after” photos show what happens when the chemistry does its thing.
