clay: glazing through the gloom

Anxious on election night and probably expecting the worst (and yes, buckle up because it’s gonna be a fucked-up four years), I prepped for more cooking over the week and sought a little solace over the sink, chopping board, and stove. I boiled all the pureed tomatoes and cooked a comforting spaghetti and meatballs and made a salad for dinner.                       

 

I added to the stacks of reading in my bedroom. If I'm not cooking or making, I'm watching less t.v. and reading instead. As always, I'm streamlining and trying to get back to basics.

And I grasped at positivity by not watching the news and not drinking too much wine and instead heading to ceramics studio. I used a lot of this Copper Red Art glaze from Western on a lot of my maple leaves though 2 of the leaves will be green.

 

Since there was no room in the hand building room because a sculpture class was in session, I glazed a fuck ton of my bisque ware.

And the morning after, I am tight-lipped but determined to ride out the obnoxiousness and pain of politics and hone in on hygge and hominess.
