I remember seeing this glaze effect for the first time watching Joe Thompson's videos on YouTube and I so wanted to replicate it. I recently managed to get the dripping effect just so. It only took me the best part of a year to do it.

Jack-o-lanterns were the first items I ventured to make that were not a straightforward cylinder. They were enclosed forms that I then altered to add ridges, cut to make their faces, and attached extra clay for their curly stems. They look wicked with a tea light inside!

What I like the most about my birdhouses is that they started as a challenge. A friend of mine asked me to make one and I just went ahead and did.

By now they are way more streamlined and I think better constructed. This particular one I call a twig, but there are acorn and raindrop-shaped ones too.

Bowls are basic pottery forms. In fact, bowls were the first form I was taught how to throw. When you go up in size, bowls become very challenging objects, however. There is a lot of material hanging with no base to support them.

After multiple attempts, I found a solution that works for me. These days, I focus on making sure the outside and inside curvatures match. I also spend a lot of time with the foot of the piece. I try to make them tall and elegant, so when the piece rests on a surface, it elevates the bowl part.

Teapots are challenging objects to make. One has to throw different objects that have to be proportionally compatible, and then attach them together before you even have a teapot. On March of 2023, I took a teapot class at the Potter Shop with Matt Straka where I learned so much about the history, body types, geometry considerations.

These days I am favoring the style of teapots where the handle is attached to the side of the body that we call in the state kyusu teapots, but that's also like saying teapot teapot.
