This little cup is a survivor. Every maker knows that moment of “potter’s heartbreak”—the sound of a handle snapping off while a piece is still in its greenware stage. The handle didn’t make it through the build, but I couldn’t bring myself to give up on it. There was something about the cute round shape…
In the ancient world, dragons weren’t just decorations; they were guardians of the elements.

Zeta Gundam is in my opinion the most playful. If you have a gunpla, you’ll find the the transformation between robot and jet fighter is amazing.
There is a specific kind of magic that happens when a piece leaves the studio and starts a life of its own. Usually, that means finding a home on someone’s dining table or mantle. But this week, one of my pieces took on a slightly different job—as a “spokes-horse” for our local pottery community! I…
