Vickie and a red bucket. Circa 2012. Atlanta, GA. ❤️ 📷@kenntwofour
Thank you everyone that came out to @ceramicshowcase over the weekend!! I still have to unpack my trades and share them with you. ❤️ I have a hectic few days and am out of the studio for the next two weeks. But my etsy shop is stocked! Next show is St John's Bizarre Bazaar @sjbizarre on May 11. @kenntwofour and I are sharing a booth. We haven't done this show before and are excited to participate. See you there??!?
Day 2 @ceramicshowcase! Yesterday there was a hummingbird in the exhibition hall- enjoying all the fresh flowers. Including these lovelies from @littlelanternfloral (it was gently captured and released at the end of the day.)
In other bunny news- I do have new altar/shrine/grottoes too. Can you tell I'm very into spring right now?? 🌱🐇🌸 . . . flowers #keramik #seramic #ceramica #mishima #inlay #madeinpdx #madeinportland #handmade #contemporaryceramics #contemporarycraft #poterie #madeinaskutt #illustration #wheelthrown #rabbit #bunny #ceramicshowcase2019
I have exactly ONE larger bunny. But several smaller bunnies. Hop on over to @ceramicshowcase this Friday - Sunday to see them. . . . I will be making more but it is going to be late May/early June before they are ready. 🐇😊 . . . #ceramicshowcase2019 flowers #keramik #seramic #ceramica #mishima #inlay #madeinpdx #madeinportland #handmade #contemporaryceramics #contemporarycraft #poterie #madeinaskutt #illustration #wheelthrown #rabbit #bunny
Ceramic Showcase starts sooooooon! April 26-28. Myself and a bunch of Oregon potters are putting in late hours to get our work finished up!! 😂😴 It is a volunteer-run show, so if you want to know when I will actually be in my booth and not working elsewhere at show- send me a DM! Kenn @kenntwofour will be in my booth for most of Friday, if you'd rather talk to him. 😂@ceramicshowcase @oregonpotters
Dry creek falls hike in Columbia river gorge. A nice rainy hike over the weekend. Hiking in the burn zone is interesting- the forest floor is so much more open. Usually gorge hikes are an almost claustrophobic wall of green growth. All that is burnt away now and in the beginning stages of regrowth. 🌱💚🌱
Junk pour! When you make new molds- the first time you use it (pour), it usually is called a junk pour. They are generally covered in bits of plaster and modeling clay. Not a clean cast or something to finish. You do not want plaster in your finished pieces. So these are the junk casts from some of the new molds. 🌺🤚🐇🍶🐍
Watercolor palette and brush holder model for a mold. I've been meaning to make this for forever, and am finally doing it. I *almost* stopped in the middle because someone in my Instagram feed is also making a clay palette. And I thought- "why bother? Theirs will be better." What can I say? Sometimes I'm easily discouraged. But these are mainly for me- I really REALLY need at least 3 brush holders and 2 palettes- so I'm going to finally make the molds today. 😂🎨🎯👨‍🎨
Wall vases are now in my etsy shop! These are really popular at shows and make a nice gift. They come packaged with a cardboard backing for easy gifting. . . Watertight for fresh flowers- glazed on the inside. Sizes vary but are about 4.5" tall. $20 each. Each one is individually illustrated, so no two are the same. . . . #mothersday #wallvase #budvase #pottery #momgift #studioartist #slipcast #folkinspired #makersgonnamake #everydayart #smallart #illustration #coloredslip
