Quyle Clay Redstone mugs.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Greenware phase: Clay has been shaped and handles are attached. The pieces haven’t gone through bisque fire yet (clay —> ceramic). ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #mugshotmonday⁣ #quylekilns #quyleclay #redstoneclay #wheelthrownmugs #mugshot #chicoca #chicoartistca #chicoartist #supportlocalchico #handmadegift #supportsmallbusiness #womanownedbusiness #handcrafted #bigcartelshop #founders #potteryofinstagram (at Chico, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Zf8B3A4CZ/?igshid=sun6r5a6w26k

This morning I watched the two episodes of @somegoodnews . I enjoyed watching it and would suggest checking it out if you haven’t seen it. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ On to trimming some pieces, throwing more, and listening to @truecrimeobsessedpodcast newest episode.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #chicoartistca #chicoartist #isolationchronicles #somegoodnews #pottery #makersmovement #smallbusiness #chicoca #madeinchico #lifeinchico #supportlocalchico #ceramics #ceramicist #marinatingbowl #wheelthrown #iambremt #greenware #workinprogress #conesixclay #clay #potterystudio #womanownedbusiness #bigcartelshop #bigcartelseller #saferathome (at Chico, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-rv3nmALmD/?igshid=1mha9eqvtthx

⁣ ✨Range✨⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #marchmeetthemaker ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ From time to time I will attempt a completely new design or piece. I love the range I can provide in my work with different clays and how they react to the glaze. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ This is a piece meant for pistachios: one side holds the pistachios and the other side is for the empty shells. Or it can be for chips and dip. Let’s get creative! What would you use this for? Note: this is clay/greenware stage. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #marchmeetthemaker2020⁣ #chicoartistca #chicoartist #pottery #greenware #makersmovement #range #joannehawker #pistachiodish #potteryofinstagram #createeveryday #wheelthrown #thrownandalteredpottery #cone6 #lifeinchico #potterystudio #madeinchico #chicoca #supportlocalchico (at Chico, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9nf3VFAd2y/?igshid=1k5w4t66j91e3

⁣⁣ ✨Mock Up✨⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #marchmeetthemaker ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I don’t draw or sketch beforehand. I mock up as I make. If I make something new I look at a picture/diagram of it and go from there. ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If, while I’m throwing, it doesn’t work out I can wedge it up and try again. I make small test tiles to test out glaze combinations. This is especially important when I am working with a new clay. Is there a particularly important part in your making process? 🤗✨⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #marchmeetthemaker2020⁣ #chicoartistca #chicoartist #pottery #makersmovement #wheelthrowing #potterylife #throwdown #clayeverydamnday #supportlocalchico #cone6⁣ #joannehawker #potterystudio ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ (at Chico, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9iYEvEAmgb/?igshid=1l03yqvgxudi1

⁣⁣ ✨You✨ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #marchmeetthemaker ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Me. The person behind the (pottery) wheel of this business. If I’m not posting products or studio shots then you get to see adorable dogs and a horse ♥️⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane and share some (key word being some 😆) of my past employment experiences. All of which ⁣⁣ play a role for me being where I am today. Maybe you share a similar experience? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Future Fitness Gym: This was my first job in high school (16? Whenever I had my driver’s license) I didn’t mind cleaning the machines but dealing with paperwork/contracts to fill out for memberships made me nervous 😬 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🍕 Round Table Pizza: Second job. I kicked butt making King Arthur’s Combo. I had so much fun taking the pizzas out to cut them up with the special cutting blade. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Mangrove vet (kennel assistant): Great time working with animals but it was weekend only and split shift. I was having a hard time that summer (first summer after college) and asked my mom if I could move back. She told me to not give up, I’m glad I didn’t because I took beginning ceramics that fall. I met more people that fall and created new friendships.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Easter Bunny: I got to cruise the mall in the bunny suit, sit in a chair and take pictures with family/kids. I passed the drug test and got paid more. I was told they were having a hard time finding applicants to pass the test. My mom came to take a picture with me as the bunny.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Lulus.com: Longest employment experience and met so many wonderful people. Great friendships were created from this experience and I loved the different roles I had with this company. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #chicoartistca #marchmeetthemaker2020 #lifeinchico #chicoca #madeinchico #makersmovement #createyourlife #purplehouse #portlandaproncompany #joannehawker #pottery #ceramics #femalefounder #founder #supportlocalchico #potterystudio ⁣#potterylife #chicocalifornia #creative #mightynetworks #lavendarhouse #kellymoorepaints (at Chico, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9dksyWAWlg/?igshid=thacziol2f95

⁣ ✨Branding✨⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #marchmeetthemaker ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🙈This is still something I am working through and figuring out as I navigate this journey ♥️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My business card image was one of my prouder moments but I also went with Moo business cards a few times and loved how I could have different images on each business card. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I took pictures of my work and created hang tags to add to items last year: to explain using a garlic grater, introducing a butter dish, a message with your mug, or simply my name and website. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ When I first considered the business I struggled figuring out a studio/brand name. I considered the street I live on (but what if I move?) I thought about it, and thought some more, and realized I was happy using my name. I use the stamps CFA on my pottery for my initials. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The majority of my work has one, maybe two glazes. I also have the leaky pen look (splatter color over glaze) and I love using different clays because each one reacts different with the glaze I have. I want my work to be realistic in function. Something you aren’t afraid to use or take with you. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #marchmeetthemaker2020 #chicoartistca #chicoartist #lifeinchico #chicoca #vistaprint #moo #branding #joannehawker #pottery #femalefounder #womanownedbusiness #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocalchico #chicopottery #meetthemaker #makersmovement #handmade #madeinchico #abinante #potterylove #mightnetworks #womeninclay #bigcartelshop (at Chico, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UWouhAd8j/?igshid=1xgrugqc1urjg

⁣ ✨Close up✨⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #marchmeetthemaker ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Here is a close up shot of grater teeth on a dish. This is done a few hours after I’ve thrown the piece to allow the clay set up. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I have played around with different tools to see what type of marks they make and I like to experiment with the design.⁣ I use various wooden tools to create the marks. ⁣ ⁣ For a long time, I created the teeth on the clay without the underglaze effect. I honestly can’t remember when I first put underglaze in the middle and created the teeth but this is one of my favorite parts of the process. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #marchmeetthemaker2020 #chicoartistca #chicoartist #howiamaco #iambrent #pottery #wheelthrown #potteryofinstagram #garlicgrater #graterdish #oliveoil #kitchenware #homegood #femalefounder #smallbusiness #wip #clayeveryday #grater #toolmark #potteryprocess #handmade #makersmovement #lifeinchico #chicoca #supportlocalchico (at Chico, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9WwkShgMpV/?igshid=l4t2mk8d2smg
