Misfit Dynamo

Had to bring this mug into the sunshine to really appreciate the galaxies and nebulae on this one. Sending it out to it's​ new owner immediately, if it stays around too long I'll probably keep it. 🌞🔭🌌 #100daysofpottery (039/100) . . . #pottersofinstagram #howiamaco #galaxyglaze #galaxymug #nebulachaser #madeinaskutt

When the weather fluctuates too much, it can cause some havoc in the studio. Luckily there's always a solution, (and some extra time if you step away from social media for a few days). These lovelies are currently in the kiln getting decal fired. After a 22k gold firing tomorrow, they'll be ready to go to their new homes. 🌞☔ #100daysofpottery (035/100) . . . #pottersofinstagram #howiamaco #madeinaskutt #piadecals #unicornmug

Since I decided to learn to grow herbs and vegetables this year, I knew I'd be making my own garden markers. I'll be honest, I think I'm more excited about these little speckled clay stakes than anything else. I've been out here digging in dirt all morning and I'm second guessing my choice in hobby. 😂😒 #100daysofpottery (032/100) . . . #pottersofinstagram #howiamaco #madeinaskutt #seedsavers #growyourownfood #victorygarden

When you run out of test tiles but need to see how one glaze will react with a collection of others, you improvise. 🎨 #100daysofpottery (031/100) . . . #testtiletuesday #howiamaco #pottersofinstagram #potteryprocess #madeinaskutt

I'm happy that I decided to add​ the pale pink and green to this carnation mug. It adds an extra layer of sweetness to it. 🌼☕ #mugshotmonday #100daysofpottery (030/100) . . . #pottersofinstagram #howiamaco #madeinaskutt #etsy

Little pots drying on the shelf, waiting to be finished and filled with little plants. 🌿 #wareboardwednesday #100daysofpottery (018/100) . . . #succulentplanters #wip #pottersofinstagram #potteryprocess

Today's the perfect day to add these #bewitching little #cauldron mugs to #Etsy (link in profile). I added these along with some new styles, and a restocking of old favorites for you to choose from. I also included a pre-order listing for everyone who's wanted the new Moon Goddess mug in white and gold. Happy #mugshotmonday. ✨☕🌠🌙 . . . #bubblebubbletoilandtrouble #pottersofinstagram #madeinaskutt #howiamaco #mugsofinstagram

Pottery is a waiting game. After every step, you have to wait before you can continue with your work. I'll be waiting all day for the kiln to cool down to see if these decals turned out well. Some of these will be considered finished, some of them will get an extra layer of color decals and 22k gold and go back in the kiln. ⏳🙇⌛ #100daysofpottery (013/100) . . . #potteryprocess #piadecals #pottersofinstagram #madeinaskutt #patiencegrasshopper

ME: I'm going to make a large, simple planter and not fuss over it just in case it doesn't make it. ALSO ME: I'm going to spend 2+ hours carving thousands of little dots and dashes in a really non simple way, understanding that in pottery nothing is a guarantee. At any step of the way this planter might just not make it to the next phase. It'll be worth it. 🌿 #100daysofpottery (010/100) . . . #pottersofinstagram #texturetuesday #potteryprocess #pottery #ceramics #handmadepottery #potterylifelessons #makersgonnamake #handsandhustle #cylcollective #lifelessonsthroughart

I was asked to try something a little different for a custom order. I consider this a small, conservative step toward a new line of gemstone mugs. The next version (which is in the works) is already bolder. Now I have to sit down and reorganize all my gems from my jewelry-making days. ☕💎 #100daysofpottery (008/100) . . . #pottersofinstagram #howiamaco #potteryprocess #gemstonemug #madeinaskutt #mugsofinstagram #makersgonnamake #pottery #handmadepottery

One thing you learn in a #pottery studio is shelf space is precious. With every kiln load, the stacks get higher. #potteryproblems #100daysofpottery (007/100) . . . #pottersofinstagram #madeinaskutt #handmadepottery #makersgonnamake #ceramics #wheelthrownpottery

In honor of Earth Day, I would like to share a new project I'm working on. A few years ago I was gifted an apocalypse survival seed vault, and this year I decided to crack it open and grow my own vegetables as well as some companion herbs and flowers. The studio is doubling as a nursery until it's warm enough to plant these outside. 🌱🌻🌱 . . #earthday #heirloomseeds #companionplanting #organicgarden #victorygarden #squarefootgarden #apocalypsetraining

Sometimes just changing the interior color has a big effect on an item. Take this latte mug for example, I love how these two colors play off of each other. Never be afraid to use more than one color. 🎨🌈 #100daysofpottery (006/100) . . . #pottersofinstagram #howiamaco #colortheory #madeinaskutt #mugsofinstagram #the100dayproject

This lovely #mermaidmug quartet have been waiting patiently to get their color. It's a happy day in the studio when the glaze delivery finally shows up. There's also a clay delivery scheduled for Friday. It's a busy week. 🙌🚚🎨 #100daysofpottery (004/100) #potteryprocess . . . #wareboardwednesday #pottersofinstagram #handmadepottery #mermaidlife

I don't always make mugs, I love making planters too. Due to its size I'll let this dry slowly over the next few days before I trim it, and possibly carve a pattern into it. Now I get to stare at it and think about glazing for a few weeks. 💐🌿 #100daysofpottery (003/100) . . #pottersofinstagram #potteryprocess #wip #the100dayproject #handmade

Happy Easter. Spring finally feels like it's here to stay. I hope everyone has enjoyed their holidays this week and today. My favorite shade of tulips in one of my favorite woodfired vases by @jrothshank . Starting today I'm taking part of #the100dayproject. I've chosen pottery as my subject (big surprise there 😊). Pottery has brought a lot of joy into my life, thank you for letting me share it with you. #100daysofpottery (001/100) . . . #pottersofinstagram #potsinaction #piawoodfire #🌷
