kicking it.
i am mostly a hand builder, but every now and then, i find great enjoyment trimming my pots on my kick wheel. sometimes it’s good to mix it up !

hide + seek . . .
there is a fun thing going on at NCECA this year. we’re playing hide + seek with our pots ! 36 potters will be hiding a pot out in the streets of HOUSTON and if you find one, you get to KEEP IT ! here’s how to play . . . go to instagram: hide’n’seekah (hidenseekah) and follow the 36 potters for clues. FINDERS KEEPERS.

clay + calligraphy.
2 of my favorite “pastimes” rolled into one. i have always been extremely passionate about handwriting. growing up, i wanted “hand writing” to be my job. i even once hand wrote my résumé for a graphic design firm and was later told that THAT was one of the reasons i landed the job. now that i am lucky enough to create my own jobs, i’ve hired my own hand to collaborate with my clay. so you see, dream jobs can come true . . . stay tuned for my new line of calligraphy on clay.

it’s golden.
i love when my friends drop by the studio. i also love when my fabulous food stylist/chef friends drop by bearing edible gifts ! erin made this most amazing caramel corn (i think her secret weapon was honey). what better way to spend a grey rainy afternoon in the studio then by eating caramel corn + drinking bourbon ?

let there be light.
one of the the main things i love about my new studio is the natural light. during the day, i don’t even turn any lights on in the studio. i love how natural light brings out the vague contrasts + contours in my work. these simple things in life make me excruciatingly happy.

the chair.
(raedunnclay via instagram)
i have a thing for chairs. as many as i already have . . . i can always justify just one more. today was the big alameda flea market and the only thing i purchased was this chair (it’s actually more like a love seat). it will be the perfect addition to my new studio . . . maybe you’ll come and sit it in some day ?!

leather hard.
my absolute favorite stage of clay is when it is leather hard. the contrasts really show up and it is cool to the touch. it changes completely once it becomes bone dry and then of course when it is fired and glazed. i’m searching for a way to keep it looking like this. not an easy task. but stay tuned.
