Still on cloud nine after a fantastic weekend meet

Still on cloud nine after a fantastic weekend meeting so many lovely people! Thank you to everyone who stopped by last Saturday at @northsideplantmarket.tx - so thankful for all of you!

Wanted to give a quick introduction to some of you who are new here! My name is Renee and I am the hands behind Fig Tree Pots. Everything is made start to finish in my little home studio right outside Austin, TX. I’ve had a love affair with ceramics for 20 years and am so thankful to spend my days playing with clay!
Please sign up for my newsletter on my website for info about my next markets/shop updates and to get some special perks as a thank you!

I’ve been on a pretty intense chip and dip kick lately which must mean that summer is just around the corner. (And means that it’s time to start making these beauties!)

The shelves in the studio are starting to get packed with some new items (as well as some old favorites) and I am so excited to show you all soon!

I’ll be sending out a newsletter this week with my upcoming events and next shop update! Not a newsletter subscriber? You can sign up on my website!

One thing I love about ceramics is the honesty tha

One thing I love about ceramics is the honesty that comes with working with clay. Each step of the process requires it’s own intentionality - from wedging to throwing to trimming to then, after the first bisque firing, to glazing and firing again. So much opportunity for things to go wrong- for any crack to reveal itself or imperfection to destroy the piece. It is the thoughtfulness of the journey, the attention to detail at each step, that brings so much satisfaction when you pull a completed piece out of the kiln. For all the ways that something could have gone wrong, it all went right and resulted in something usable and timeless.
Just a few reflections as I photograph and prepare each piece for this Friday’s update. Loving this journey- cracks and all.
