I was invited to make pieces for an upcoming ewer show. The concept was inspired by the gallery owner’s experience beginning to #garden with his family, enjoying the bounty daily, and using #handmade ewers to drizzle olive oil and vinegar over fresh veggies. I love making pots that pour, so the prompt was a welcome challenge, allowing me to combine multiple elements that I’ve practiced over the years. How would you use these pots?

A decorative ceramic ewer with a long spout and an elongated handle, featuring vibrant colors of dark orange, mottled brown-green, dark yellow with bright chartreuse accents. and geometric patterns. The long neck features concentric rings and the round body of the ewer is decorated with geometric patterns, carved lines and tiny raised dots. It rests on a shallow, matching plate. The background is a warm tan color.

I'm going to toot my own horn for just a moment!

These are my first teapots since taking Po Wen Liu's workshop, and I can tell my craftsmanship has leveled up. They still need to be decorated and glazed.

i'll never achieve perfection, but the fun is learning and getting better than I was the day before.
Life is like that too :)

Last year, Amazon wracked up $14.2 billion over a two-day period with their Prime Day sale. Amazon Prime "Day" 2025 will be a four-day event, no doubt still hoping to break their record of how much sweat-shop garbage they can peddle to an increasingly incredulous consumer base. Jeff Bezos, who recently spent an estimated $20 million on his lavish Venetian wedding, doesn't need your money. Resist temptation and scratch your shopping itch by giving a new home to a pre-loved book instead!

Firestorm Books is hosting a book swap on July 9th at our shop in Asheville, NC. 📚♻️

No limit on the number of books you can bring or take, just be considerate of what you bring (don't bring what you think is "trash") or take (don't take aaaaalll the good books)! You're welcome to hang out and read while you sip a complimentary mocktail.

And yes, you can still participate even if you don't have books to contribute!
