I made a bird themed Christmas tree! I love this one. just listed at surly.etsy.com. Comes with a light and bulbs and I’m pretty sure it’s magical. Link in my bio too
Y’all. I handbuilt an apple tree that you can decorate as a light up Christmas tree. It’s at surly.etsy.com cuz I’m moving all my handbuilt pottery there. (My mom wants her own shop. ) anyway LOOK at the apple tree! I’m so proud of my new folk art trees.

I’m transitioning back into funky textured work for my Surly.etsy.com shop. I was helping out with my mom’s shop after she had a stroke but she says she’s ready to be on her own again. This is my first new work in progress for my surly shop. #ceramics #pottery #handbuiltpottery #handbuiltceramics #handmade #artist #art
I am really happy with my new pottery pieces as well as the progression of my photography skills. Also, everything looks better with grapes! Yay! Learning!

The final piece with transparent glaze. It’s a gift that missed its flight haha
The watercolor cakes came in something plastic but I took them out because one didn’t fit into the ceramic square and I had a small nervous breakdown so I cut away the plastic with a knife
New 10 inch hand-built tardigrades stoneware serving bowl at RetroRamics.etsy.com. Link in bio. Just one made. You’ll never eat alone with this bowl!
New hand-built 10inch wildflower stoneware serving bowl at RetroRamics.etsy.com. Just one made. I drew all those flowers. Link also in bio.
Flat coil built with carved slip, soda fired at cone 6. I am so happy with this piece.
Another piece built today!
For this one I planned some underglaze, I’ll see how I feel tomorrow. That tray was really annoying to make believe it or not, I need some rest.
I tried making kurinuki pots and they were pretty good but glazing day came around and I glazed them with everything else without checking if kurinuki gets glazed because I feel like it shouldn’t haha
Anyways, I really like them even though there is too much oxide because patience isn’t my forte. It wasn’t dry enough so i couldn’t wipe it off well enough.
I’ll be done with this soon, I promise haha.
More ceramics. These are pinch pots, very small, a bit like shot glasses and they are like this because this is the best I can do for now. I am yet to figure out what to use them for. For now they are stored safely in a box because of Pocket the kitten.
Once again white clay, transparent glaze and the beloved oxide pencil.
Grateful and blessed to have supporters like you. If you celebrate the holiday, have a Happy Thanksgiving
Small porcelain offering bowl.
Porcelain, crushed turquoise inlay, resin coating
Mark your calendar for the 34th Annual Westminster Festival of Fine Arts, one month from now. I'll be offering my very best hot glass jewelry, as well as my hand built ceramics, and one or two surprises. #westminsterfestivaloffineart #hotglass #ceramics #artyoucanwear #buyartfromartists #buylocalart #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #glassbeadjewelry #lampworkjewelry #handbuiltceramics #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #salemoregon #willamettevalley #pnwartist
Just out of the kiln. I made this one for our studio manager. #hobbypotter #ceramics #pottery #handbuiltceramics
I decided several months ago to make a dinnerware set for my home. Since I needed to learn how to make some of the forms, I figured it would take about a year. I am on track and it is very satisfying to see the pieces I've made so far, in action. Today, the little bowls I made from clay scrap came in handy. #pottery #hobbypotter #handbuilding #handbuiltceramics
Contrary to popular belief, you CAN have TOO MUCH HELP when you are self-employed. My unpaid interns may be cute as hell but I am *more than* ready for them to graduate and be gone. #ceramics #pottery #handbuiltceramics #kittensofmastodon #shopcats
