Woops. (Also, congrats on over 1 million instagram views Tom!) From @tom_kemp_ - Sound ON! Perhaps I should have been angry at myself and my incompetence. But that emotion almost always eludes me, to my frustration. Instead, I'm laughing because I unexpectedly learned something important. And reinforced how much this is mostly about the delicate accretion of self-awareness, rather than just making stuff. Also, it was funny. #potterymaking #wip #pottery #ceramics #handmade #art #craft #potteryproblems #bloopers #potterybloopers #fragile #handlewithcare #decorating #decoration

Oops. That tumbler was a bit taller than I thought. 😂 I actually checked this height twice because I knew it was close. I had a quarter inch between the pot and the lid of the kiln. Proof that pottery, just like anything else, expands when hot, especially when 2160 f hot. . . . #lifeofanartist #accidentalscience #kilnproblems #pottery #ceramics #potteryproblems #oops

Remember those almost-too-tall pilsners? Yep. Too tall. *sigh* Well, I have never let kiln size stop me before. Lets do this. . . . #creativeprocess #necessityisthemotherofinvention #disasterinthemaking #potterymaking #ceramicartist #wip #donttrythisathome #potteryproblems #dawnatkin I'll post video of the kiln opening on Friday. Wish me luck!

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
