The kiln was fighting to stay alive last night during the storm. I don’t claim to fully understand kiln dynamics, but this is amazing!!! The glaze is just a little more dynamic than usual. I am not sure I will ever be able to recreate this magic. These are special. #iowa #pottery #iowaart #tornado #kilnmagic

Today I pushed myself to thrown BIG. I typically play it safe and throw one to two pounds of clay. Today I threw 3 pounds. I was not confident that I had the skills to throw that big. I am going to go for 4 pounds the next time I throw. Go big or go home. #iowa #pottery #iowaart #big #clay
