Hello everyone! It's Monday aaaaaand I'm back at work. Since I have a surge of new followers, I'd like to introduce myself to those who don't already know a bit about me. My name is Auraya, pronounced like uh-RAY-UH sunshine 😁🌞 My shop is pronounced Or-a-Win Works (Orawin is my sister's middle name). I'm American-born half Thai and am bilingual. I've considered myself an artist my whole life and find peace when creating. I always wanted to go to art school, but ended up with a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering 🤓 Currently, I make clay creations as a hobby because I have a fulfilling professional career. I'm married and have two awesome sons. One just graduated high school and the other will start high school in the fall. My husband is also an engineer 🤓 I'm crazy about our 2 doggos, both are rescues and are the sweetest rascals! Some frequently asked questions are: Q1: When will you open up customs? A1: I plan on opening up a limited number of customs later in the summer. Before that happens, I will post time/date info on IG, FB, add it to my stories, and include it on my bio. Q2: What kind of clay do you use? A2: I have 4 different clays, but my main one is a Cone 6 Standard brand Porcelain. (Kiln fired) Q3: When will you restock your shop? A3: I'm shooting for a restock at the end of June or early July. Q4: Do you do giveaways? A4: YES! In fact, I'm thinking that it's almost time for another. I just have to come up with something fun 🤔 Do you have any questions about me? Ask in the comments or respond to my "Ask me anything" question sticker in my IG story. Also, the tiger in the clip is something I made for my mom to gift to someone special in her life who happens to be an LSU fan. 💛🐯💜 I hope they like it! Thank you for reading this post if you got this far 💞 and thank you so so much for your support 🥰 . . . . . #lsutigers #lsufan #porcelain #porcelainart #smallceramics #smallsculpture #smallbatch #potterycollector #potteryaddict #pottery #potteryforall #handbuiltceramics #ceramicscollector #ceramicsculptures #ceramicart #tigercollection #tigerobsession #makersgonnamake #makerspace #artistsoninstagram #artistcollaboration #aurawinworks (at Destin, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/By0UZk2g70v/?igshid=1d88wk5qjf3p6
