Been experimenting with layering colored slip over contrasting clay bodies, and I’m kind of obsessed with how much depth it adds. It’s such a different way to think about surface decoration - more matte, more textural, and way more budget-friendly than glazing every inch. These are just test tiles for now, but I’m excited to see how they translate into full pieces. Love when trying something new actually works out!

Still kind of surreal to see my work in someone else’s space—especially when it looks this good. Big shoutout to Christine (a total gem of an Etsy customer) for sending these over.

One little jar, endless date night possibilities. 💕 Write down all the things you’ve been meaning to do together, toss them in, and pick one a week. What’s first on your list? (bonus points if it involves pottery!)

This wavy beauty is everything I love in a design—neutral but bold, masculine and feminine, and 100% unique. Perfect for any space! 🖤✨

Every now and then, I list a piece in my Etsy shop that I secretly hope no one will buy because I love it so much. This planter is one of those pieces. I designed it to sit on top of a pedestal base that doubles as a deep drip tray (which is great for preventing mold and root rot because it keeps the bottom of the plant from sitting directly in a saucer full of water). Not to mention, the arch design is cute as hell. So if you’re thinking about buying this one, please wait just a little while longer so that I have some time to enjoy it for myself 😜
