Icymi, I’ll be on Instagram Live at 6pm EST tonight for a spring restock preview! I’ll give a quick tour of the pieces that will be available. Can’t wait to show y’all what I’ve been working on! Tomorrow at 8pm EST, join me for the Spring Restock! I have so many delightful pieces that I’m so proud to share! 🥹 As for motifs, there are lots of little woodland creatures, unicorn astronauts, industrious honeybees, camping scenes with pups, and bright cozy cottages. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGMZNoLzAV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hellllooooo 🫶🏻 it feels like it has been a really, really long time since I’ve done this, so I thought it might be time to reintroduce myself for those of you who are new here. I’m Laurie 😌 new mother, avid reader, serial overthinker, lover of hiking and fun little drinks and TikTok. I’m a ceramic artist and I live and work in the mountains of North Carolina. I spend my life with my husband, Morgan, our baby J and our dogs Buck 🐶 and Jessica 🐕. I’ve been working for myself full time for a few years, and it simply blows me away that I get to do what I love every day. My pieces are available online as often as I can make that happen, and my next sale is right around the corner 😘🤐 ⁠ Folks most often ask me how long I’ve been doing this (making art, selling art, working as an artist), which is a more complicated question than it appears. In short, I’ve been making this work (whimsical, illustrated pottery) since about 2017. It’s changed a great deal in so many ways since then, but at it’s core it’s the same. Fine lines, washy, bright colors, light clay, with imagery focused around my home in the mountains. Plus unicorns, ofc. In the much longer version I could tell you about how I’ve been making my art for much longer - setting up my worktable next to my mother’s as she painted, painting mythical creatures, sculpting tiny animals, working with my hands constantly for as far back as I can remember. Thank you all so much for being here with me! Have a wonderful week 🥰 luv u https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpvs2jDrTbB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi friends, quick housekeeping! My summer shop restock is this THURSDAY and I’m running out of ways to say that I’m SO looking forward to sharing this collection with you. Picnics on red checkered blankets under blue skies with butterflies fluttering past, blossoming Dogwood flowers, greenhouses and abundant gardens that are much neater looking than mine, unicorns nestled in lush beds of flowers. I’ll be on IG live tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6pm et to give a tour of the collection so please join me and ask me easy questions because I get nervous 😬🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf7tUOIDFg6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just unloaded the dreamiest kiln full of cups and planters. 🌱🌱🌱 I’ll share the full kiln unload tomorrow but in the meantime I couldn’t wait to share this springy beauty 😌 https://www.instagram.com/p/CbyOfZlO0s-/?utm_medium=tumblr

🌷🌈🌼 HELLO! ☀️🌸🌱 My spring restock goes live tonight! See you on my website @ 8pm et! ⁠ ⁠ These sales are wild - to spend months working towards one day! All I can do today is cross my fingers, take a deep breath, and sit back knowing I did absolutely everything in my power to create a lovely batch of pieces to share with you all. Love you see u later!⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CcDgGevLXeG/?utm_medium=tumblr

For other questions, stop by my Instagram! I check Tumblr only like once a year 😊🌈

A quick collection of photos I took right before the last shop restock 💕 I sometimes wish I could allow myself a little more time to spend with a collection of pieces between unloading them from the kiln and sending them out the door, but I'm so glad to have images to look back on. They sure do look nice together 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CWQknRhrjFE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Few things more satisfying to me than a nice stack of pots 🤩 https://www.instagram.com/p/CWLapeULaB4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hellooooo! Quick housekeeping. I have been in the studio *a lot* lately working towards my last two online sales of the year, one planned for October and another for December. Here's your quick reminder that THE BEST way to be in the know about upcoming sale dates is to subscribe to my email list via the link in my bio 👆🏻⁠ ⁠ ALSO did you know you can sign up for post notifications?? To turn on notifications for my IG posts, head to my profile and and tap the bell icon at the top right (next to the 3-horizontal dots). From there you can toggle push notifications on or off for my IG posts, stories, IGTV, and Live videos. Never miss a TikTok Thursday again 😇 https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2m7u5rSUQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

I wrote it in my stories and sent it in an email, but I’m from the south and if there is one thing we know how to do here it’s how to say THANK YOU. (Even if it’s sometimes too loud and too often.) So here I am one more time saying thank you so much to all of you who were present for my shop restock last week. ⁠ ⁠ It’s a bewildering and glorious thing to have three months of work be gone from me in a matter of moments. It’s so magical when you send me images and videos of pieces existing in new homes, being unpacked and absorbed straight into your own life. As I’ve said before, I have a truly weird and wonderful life making mud into objects to be used and loved for a lifetime.⁠ ⁠ Always, if you didn’t get a piece, thank you too. Everything from a like to a message to a sale adds up to support my business. I’m already beginning my next batch of work, and will be announcing the details for my next sale very very soon 🌈 https://www.instagram.com/p/CVjY-nvFINI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Halloween is a cool holiday because you get to be whoever you want to be, eat candy, and just appreciate how silly and fun it is to be a human on this wild spinning rock in space. May you have a spoooOOOoooOoooKy day in the best way 👽 https://www.instagram.com/p/CVsvCzVr76s/?utm_medium=tumblr

It is wild to already be so far into a planning another sale so soon after a restock 😴 this time of year it is always just a true adventure to try to get work all finished before the holiday shipping deadlines, but we're gonna make it folks! Winter shop restock announcement coming v soon ⛺🌈☃️⁠ ⁠ Also hey remember like a month ago when Instagram just broke for a day? Get on my email list plz 🪑 https://www.instagram.com/p/CVy9agxtSPh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ahh berry bowls 😵‍💫🫐🌈 I must say I’m a little bummed I didn’t start making these until the end of summer. I know I could make more this winter, but I have to make room for other pieces (ornaments! teapots! sugar jars?). I’m already looking forward to making more in the spring 🍓 https://www.instagram.com/p/CTSPyshLLyf/?utm_medium=tumblr
