I wrote a short article on side projects inspired by an article [0] from @ossington

Having projects that fulfill a need is essential in learning new skills. Projects may fail or not be perfect. But often "good enough" is sufficient and gives you a lot of gratification.

So here is the article that has been recycled from blog posts I did 9 years ago:

Morning coffee in my new Arabic coffee maker (with a tea cup I made - cone 6 oxidation ash glaze).🇱🇧

This mug is shaping up to be a sturdy one. I’ve been thickening my handles lately so they sit more comfortably in the hand. I realized the mugs I reach for most, made by others, tend to have a certain softness and girth to the handle, so that’s the direction I’m following.

It’s all small adjustments over time, the kind that add up over decades. The goal is a pot that feels special to its owner, but not so delicately precious that it ends up sitting untouched on a shelf. #pottery #beautility

2026 is the year of the HORSE and the KENTUCKY DERBY is just a few weeks away. A sneaky peek at some HORSE themed art in my studio at the Pendleton Art Center Cincinnati tonight. 5-9pm. Hope you can make it!!!

I don't think I ever shared this incredible mug my sister made for me! This baby holds so much coffee, perfect for slugging down a cuppa while watching the ol' 6 4 3s.
