for a wednesday when things seem a little tedious and a bit much, here's a happy autumn friend to watch the leaves swirl down with us (and maybe jump in them too)

Before I can switch gears and begin on my smoke fired pots, I’ve got to finish up this last batch. It’ll be a mixture of smaller sized tableware, a couple of lamps and some larger pieces for an upcoming show. I’m in the carving and decorating phase of the cycle now. Next comes the bisque fire, glazing and then firing one last time. The pottery cycle reminds me of the cycle of the moon. My next online sale will be on Saturday, November 22nd. #pottery #ceramics #WIP

I’m feeling refreshed, inspired by the seascape that surrounds me and ready to create this week. This is an old photo from one of those days when the Gulf is so clear, it looks like a swimming pool.
I’ll be ending the week with a workshop for #ceramics students at St. John’s River State College.

I started with another Ringling College of Art student a couple of weeks ago. They don’t have a #ceramics program at their school so whenever a student approaches me with an interest in #clay, I provide a free 6 week studio intensive where they get the entire experience from beginning to end—forming pieces, making their own slips & glazes, and firing. #education #skillshare #communityed #communityeducation
The student taking a photo of the pot they worked on in the previous photo. Various objects sit on the table along with the pot; a plastic water bottle, a ceramic bowl, pieces of clay, cardboard and tools. The background is a pottery studio with a light blue walls, lots of shelving and a window.
The student’s hands forming a pot with a soft organic form out of brown clay. The pot sits on a small piece of cardboard on top of a work table. A beam of light shines softly onto the table, pot and the makers hands. A light blue wall and shelving are partially visible in the background.

A handcrafted clay cup with a textured design featuring geometric diamond patterns in brown, green, and light blue colors. The interior is turquoise, contrasting with the earthy tones of the exterior. The background is a warm brown.
A decorative off-white ceramic pitcher with intricate patterns, featuring aqua diamond shaped turquoise accents. The piece has a pronounced handle and a wide spout, showcasing a textured surface with geometric designs. The red clay shows through the white glaze giving it an antique look. There are very small coils attached to the surface like tiny ornamental ropes, swooping decoratively across the top and bottom.
A decorative ceramic teapot with intricate leaf and geometric patterns in earthy tones. It features a lid topped with a large light blue patterned knob with a pointed top, patterned knob. The colors of the teapot are a dark brick red, olive green abstract leaf pattern and neck rings and a bit of light orange. The background is a solid warm brown color.
An off-white handcrafted ceramic mug with a textured surface featuring geometric designs and intricate patterns. The mug has a stylized, curved handle and the off-white glaze allows the red clay to break through the texture giving it a somewhat aged look. There is also an aqua glaze painted into an abstract flower burst pattern on either side of the cup. It is displayed against a neutral background.

I’m offering this #VirtualWorkshop for the second time on Saturday, October 25. If you’ve ever had an interest in working with #clay, I hope you’ll join me. #Ceramics used to be a free creative medium but has become an expensive hobby. In this workshop, I will explain exactly how to take advantage of the therapeutic benefits of working with clay, but at minimal cost. The workshop is sliding scale beginning at $10. Recording available. More info & signup: https://potterybyosa.com/products/virtual-workshop-clay-is-for-everyone
Still warm from the kiln, covered in warm earth tones—I’m so relieved this piece came out successfully on the other side of firing. I worked on it over the course of a month and remembered to document moments of process which I think I’ll share in a thread.
The most important thing to know is that I consider this pot a collaboration. I coordinated the colors, but I didn’t choose them. Each clay tone was a surprise and a gift, and that’s where my excitement about this piece lies. #pottery
I'm overwhelmed by the response to this piece. Thank you for all of the thoughtful, heartfelt comments.
I managed not to document any of the carving and slip decorating phase, but I did get some video of the coil building process. I made a short video that shows the technique, but it's more about my thoughts behind the process.
