Swinging on quick to say hello! Starting to put my studio back together after construction and I am SO pumped at the way things are looking. I have a notebook full of new ideas/items/and glaze combos (like the one on this cutie planter) and can’t wait to start getting muddy in the new year. Hope your holiday season was lovely and wish you all a fabulous new year!

I’m struggling to put into words the overwhelming feelings that are bubbling up as I look back over the past 12 months. I would have never imagined the incredible journey that Fig Tree Pots would take me on. A journey full of beautiful stories, friendships, connections, and invitations to create and dream. Thank you for joining me on this adventure and for each small kindness you all have shown that has made the most profound impact on me. Wishing you the absolute best this holiday season and looking forward to many muddy days ahead.

Man, the light in the studio today is bringing all types of moods out in my few remaining pots and I love it! I’ve been wrapping things up in the studio, preparing for some very exciting things happening next week- (stay tuned for the inside look!) and seeing if I have enough items for one last small shop update next week. I will keep you all posted, but for now I am going to finish my 3rd cup of coffee, load my kiln for my last glaze firing of 2021, and breath deeply in and out with joy as my family puts up lights and we celebrate the season. Hope your Saturday is off to a dreamy start!❤️

The balance between being an artist and small busi

The balance between being an artist and small business owner can feel a bit like a tightrope walk during holiday season. Fighting the feeling of just manufacturing pieces so there is enough for the lovely people who are asking versus taking the needed time for creativity and pouring love into your work, even if it’s a mug you’ve made dozens of times, is tricky footing at times. I’m fighting for that beautiful moment when producing and creating begin a harmonious dance of symmetry that I can join in. I always seem to experience this dance when the clay is swirling in my fingers as the wheel spins and I hope it always stays that way. ❤️

In a few weeks it will be 6 months since the passi

In a few weeks it will be 6 months since the passing of my Dad. Such a surreal landmark that is hitting right before the holidays. My dad was a complicated man, but it always seemed that he was most himself by water- especially the gulf. Living in Texas the gulf has become a favorite getaway place and a healing oasis in this season of grieving.

On my last visit there was a huge storm which brought in a massive amount of driftwood all along the beach. I’m not usually a shell/beachy art type of person, (beautiful but not my thing) but seeing the salt soaked pieces of wood, twisted and gnarly, was a stunning sight. I couldn’t help but picture the journey that each piece took to arrive so beautifully raw - and it made me think of my father.

So this year for the holidays I made a few of these ornaments with clay and driftwood in honor of my Dad. Remembering all the beautiful, raw parts of him.

Howdy friends- still plugging away here in the studio- hands dirty, heart full- working on preorders and other goodies! Excited to say that I (and this wavy travel cutie) will be participating in @larkandowlbooksellers Wee Market during their Outlandish Faire next weekend! I will be there on Sunday (11/7) from 2-6 with other fabulous vendors, but make sure to check out their schedule for the whole weekend (Saturday and Sunday) - it’s full of all things Scottish -music, dancers, educational presentations, whisky tasting, and so much more! Hope to see you there!

Thank you @wildheartyoga for hosting such a fabulous event yesterday! I had a fantastic time and loved meeting so many lovely people and chatting about all things clay. Most of these beauties are in their new homes, so it’s back to the wheel to get my hands dirty. ❤️

*My holiday pre-orders are closing tomorrow! (10/25) So this is the last day to get some guaranteed goodies and early Christmas shopping done!

Wrapping up a few wholesale orders before diving into market and holiday prep! I have a notebook full of ideas that I am bursting to try and will share hopefully the successes (and probably failures) with you all!

Some fun info for you all…

My next market is on October 23rd at the Wonder Wild Festival hosted by @wildheartyoga 🎉
Tickets are donation based and are benefiting the Down Syndrome Association of Central Texas!

Holiday Preorders- they are coming! My hope is to have a few items available- match strikers, mugs, incense holders… with a limited amount available for preorder. I’ll have it up for a few days and then will shut it down to start working on your new babies. My hope will be to have those to you before thanksgiving! Still working on some quirks and supply stuff to determine the date but will hopefully let you all know by this weekend!
