Here's one of two large terracotta coil pots I fired over the weekend, featuring the pearly, crackled surface I get when I turn #clay from Ocala National Forest into terra sigillata. I'm making these pieces to be shown at upcoming exhibitions in #Florida, hoping to pique others' curiosity about this unique peninsula of limestone & sand that we live on. That curiosity can lead to greater connection with the Earth, something that many of us have lost along the way: https://potterybyosa.com/blogs/clay-people/fractured-fragmented-and-fragile

Washington just became the 6th state to pass an electronics Right to Repair law! A quarter of Americans are now covered by electronics repair laws.

And they also passed a bill for powered wheelchairs! That’s a double win for repair, and a big blow to manufacturer control.

Sometimes what you can do is focus on local and regional issues. Ecology Ottawa has some great policy ideas for Ontario! https://www.ecologyottawa.ca/ontario_election_planks

Ensuring things can be repaired makes us more resilient and sustainable! https://theconversation.com/bolstering-canadas-right-to-repair-could-shield-it-against-u-s-tariffs-and-trade-uncertainty-248970
Bolstering Canada’s right to repair could shield it against U.S. tariffs and trade uncertainty

The right to repair can increase the amount of well-paying Canadian jobs and reduce Canada’s dependence on unpredictable global markets.

My preferred online interaction has always been answering questions and discussing things on more forum type places rather than posting my own work, but here's my current stashbusting WIP - fabric is woven but needs some sewing to turn it into it's final form. Any guesses as to what that is? #weaving

“Slow down and make things” ❤️

In tech’s boom times, many sought to “move fast and break things,” a motto Mark Zuckerberg popularized at Facebook. Now, in an era of layoffs and cost-cutting, workers feel an urge to slow down and make things. https://wapo.st/3oyfMaC #press
