Look what grew out of an afternoon of Slow Play in the Redwoods! 🌲

These beautiful, whimsical, wonderfully different creations were made by the women who joined me last month. And I'm happy to report that everyone survived the kiln, including one fierce little snake! 🐍

I love how nature shows up in each piece through shape, texture, and color. Many of the textures came from little things we collected while wandering through the redwoods. There was no set project, just plenty of clay and the freedom to experiment, play, and follow our curiosity.

These little treasures are heading home! Once everyone has received their pieces, I'll share some close-ups of all the delightful little details.

I'm already dreaming about our next Slow Play gathering. ✨

No livestream today. I’m in the studio getting everything ready for Fog Fest this weekend, including these little mushroom houses. 🍄

I’ll be back next Thursday for our usual Clay Witch studio session.

Look at all of these amazing creations from Slow Play in the Redwoods. 🌿

Some of the textures and impressions came from little things we gathered on our walk through the redwoods, like bark, tiny redwood cones, and redwood needles. Others came from stamps and texture tools I brought along for everyone to play with.

I love how different every piece is. They’re playful and strange and sweet and completely original.

Thank you again to the fun women who came and spent the afternoon with me slowing down, wandering, laughing, and playing with clay. It felt like exactly what I hoped Slow Play would be.

Now everything is drying in my studio, waiting for its first firing. Then I get to glaze them and see how they transform.

I can’t wait to show you the finished pieces!

There’s room at the table for two more women. 🌿

Slow Play is tomorrow! I’m getting kinda giddy thinking about all of us wandering through the redwoods, being enchanted by snails and ferns and rocks, and then gathering around the table together to make stuff.

Bringing women together around nature and clay has been a dream of mine for a while, and tomorrow it’s actually happening.

If you’ve been feeling a little tug to join us, there’s still room for you. 💚

Slow Play is this Saturday! 🌿

One of my favorite things is giving someone a lump of clay and watching what they do with it. A little pinching, poking, rolling, stamping, pulling things apart and putting them back together. Maybe it turns into a vessel, a mushroom, a creature, or something completely weird. 🤪

This Saturday, we’ll start by getting our whimsy on in the redwoods, slowing down to notice the tiny things and gathering a few forest treasures along the way. I can’t wait to see how some of that finds its way into what we make.

There’s plenty of clay. Nothing has to be perfect. We’re just going to have fun making things with our hands.

Today I’m making a tiny mushroom forest! I’ll also be trying out a few new stamps I carved on a previous livestream, and we’ll see where the afternoon takes us.

Come keep me company in the studio. 🍄

Come play with clay in the redwoods. 🌲

On September 12th, a small group of women will gather at my friend's beautiful home in the Oakland Hills with a redwood forest just across the street.

We’ll begin by wandering through the trees, slowing down enough to find enchantment in the tiny things, follow what catches our attention, and collect a few forest treasures along the way.

Then we’ll head back to the house, put the tea on, and spend the rest of the afternoon playing with clay. Make a little vessel, a weird creature, or something inspired by the forest. Let the clay surprise you!

No previous clay experience is needed. This is simply a chance to slow down, play, connect with nature and each other, and spend an afternoon creating simply because it’s fun. 🌿

I’m going live in the clay studio this afternoon! 🌿

I have several projects I’m working on today so I’m just going to see where my curiosity takes me.

I might carve some new clay stamps, finally glaze my bird, or keep working on the strange coil vessel that’s slowly becoming… something. 😂

Come hang out in the studio with me! Stop in and say hi and keep me company while I play with clay. I’ll be live at 2pm PT on The Clay Witch Next Door. Link in bio.
