Back at running again! Lost track a bit last week due to the holiday, but I'm getting back to it. Even improved my time a bit so there's something! #running #runningtraining #zombies #zombiesrun (at The Montour Trail - 8 mi) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzq7gnTgHxj/?igshid=ff7hacddr4s9

Still keeping up with my zombie run training. Especially difficult in this heat but worth it. Also saw a flock of chickens oddly enough so it was entertaining. #zombies #zombiesrun #running #runningtraining #runningintheheat (at The Montour Trail - 8 mi) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzY6LiJgn8m/?igshid=1l5on6fzgp464

Still working on running training. I'm hoping that posting my runs can help me stay motivated to keep up the progress. #running #runningtraining #zombiesrun #zombies (at The Montour Trail - 8 mi) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzTMCJLAtPH/?igshid=lib0ts3jle08

So ive decided to restart running training for the upcoming 6.6k race in October. You know what that means...time to outrun zombies again! #zombiesrun #preparingforthezombieapocalypse #training (at Settlers Cabin Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzJhlW6gpDd/?igshid=8gx82kexwbn8

No fancy quotes this itme. Just really proud of a few pieces I've made. I managed to throw a full teapot with a cup and saucer the first class and get it all assembled this past Wednesday. Pretty happy I made it all work! #firebornstudios #firebornpottery #ceramics #pottery #porcelainclay #newproject #goingbeyondmylimits (at Fireborn Studios, Gallery and Classes) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXZ60qnKwk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17vjdikvn48t0

So this term i decided to try throwing an acorn jar because I was bored and wanted to give it a shot. Got it all glazed up last night. Hopefully it turns out well! Also finished trimming a birdfeeder yesterday so hopefully i can get even more birds to stop by soon! #firebornstudios #firebornpottery #ceramics #pottery #porcelainclay #tryingsomethingnew (at Fireborn Studios, Gallery and Classes) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1hAV-ntjl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tlesxyx1nwn4

I have been really slacking off on posting pottery photos and for that, I apologize for the wait. Here is everything I've been working on and have collected since the start of the new term.

"A work of art is the trace of a magnificent struggle." -Robert Henri Some photos from last week. Yesterday night started the new term, but I forgot to snap some photos of what I made. Something for next week. #firebornstudios #firebornpottery #ceramics #pottery #porcelainclay #bowls P.S.- @claysmithstudio17 I saved your teapot and goblet from being thrown out during the pottery purge. If you would like them back, let me know and they're yours. Otherwise... #icalldibs (at Fireborn Studios, Gallery and Classes) https://www.instagram.com/p/ButeQikHZ27/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gtzyle76o6b

"Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create." -Unknown Last night was a busy night in the studio. Managed to get some good stuff in the works tonight (recreating some texture bowls I tried a while ago, but didn't work out, another lidded vessel, and a cylinder for some scrafitto).Trying to get all caught up due to missing class last week. Let's see if I rise above it or succumb to the chaos. #firebornstudios #firebornpottery #ceramics #pottery #porcelainclay #chaosisaladder (at Fireborn Studios, Gallery and Classes) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtlDXW1npma/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vbwugisy14pa

"I wonder sometimes if fog is just the clouds that could not stand being away from the earth any longer. Just the ones that were too tired to float any more, and wanted to feel soil once again." -Tyler Knott Gregson (at The Waterfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgMusQnKUT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fimn3oiudkc6

"I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares." -Saul Bass Back in the studio last night and up to my usual Wednesday night shenanigans. Decided to give lidded vessels another try but I think the handles are a bit much... #firebornstudios #firebornpottery #ceramics #pottery #porcelainclay (at Fireborn Studios, Gallery and Classes) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBAQNnFoA6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=127602vdwdcwn

"Art is standing with one hand extended into the universe and one hand extended into the world, and letting ourselves be a conduit for passing energy." -Albert Einstein Didn't throw any pieces, but I did get some pieces trimmed and glazed. I'm really excited for my texture soup bowls. Also got to help the newer students with glaze choices. All in all, a solid night worth of work! #firebornstudios #firebornpottery #ceramics #pottery #porcelainclay #glazing #trimming (at Fireborn Studios, Gallery and Classes) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNK4CnHBML/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k90ut3l2ak4w

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." -Albert Einstein So I follow a lot of potters and pottery studios on good ole Instagram, and decided to try one of their techniques to achieve this texture. I wasn't super thrilled with it at first, but it was also my first try. I've already come up with different ways to improve the piece. We'll see if it survives trimming next week. BTW the texture reminds me almost of a hybrid between tree bark and dragon scales. I give you the tree dragon. #firebornstudios #firebornpottery #ceramics #pottery #porcelainclay #newtechnique #texture (at Fireborn Studios, Gallery and Classes) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp6vPwpFcUe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wwigrz88354j
