I've got a new open access blog post up on Patreon: “Removing Underglaze From Greenware” — aka me trying to fix a piece without completely losing it. ("It" being my mental health AND the clay ghost I was working on.)
I reviewed my ceramic ghost-making process to document how much time I was spending on each step. It turns out that I spend about 3 hours on each ghost. The open access post below goes into more detail.
Meet Vicky, the companion ghost. She is socially shy and very adventurous on her own time. On the outside, you can see that the stresses of the world have slightly flattened her out, but she always keeps her head held high. Her favourite activities are stargazing, storm chasing, and looking up to see your face as you tell her about your day. Everyone, please say hi to Vicky!
If you have the capacity to make resistance art, the tools to do so, want to support Claire, *and* get something cool in exchange, check out her Laser Kick store. She has amazing SVGs available which you can use to 3D print, laser cut, or whatever: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaserKick
Resist. Make art.
My friend, @LaserMistress, is constantly doing good for others and she needs us to do some good for her. Please, donate to her Go Fund Me ASAP so she can keep bringing us all impactful resistance art.

Spent some time at the art workbench making more ceramics. I make each piece with so much love and time. 🥰
