Little bird whistle finds home.
My little whistles are slowly moving out into the world.

This is Ivan. He worries about what other people think of him. He’d like to fix his teeth. He owns a telescope but rarely uses it.

This is Gavin. He has trouble sleeping. He takes his coffee black. He loves his family & has a good heart. He worries about money.

This is Brigid. She likes swimming & summer days. She looks above & beyond you. She does not suffer fools. #clay #pottery #potteryofbluesky #claycup #sculpture #ceramique #ceramics #céramique #art #canadianceramics

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

Thanks! They’re a lot of fun. I also admire your work that also channel a lot of joy 🤩

Some face tumblers. Lots of fun. #ceramics #pottery #clay #potteryofbluesky

Four fish whistles. They make me think of a punk rock band. The stoner in the back on drums, the cutie on vocals, the serious one on bass 🐠 toot toot #womensart #clay #art #whistles #ceramics #pottery #potteryofbluesky #canadianartist #ceramique #céramique #fish

Another ‘before’ picture. The kiln is slowly cooling down. Underglaze painting on majolica. A mermaid speaking up. Never again for anyone #clay #pottery #notinmyname #potteryispolitical #artispolitical #canadianart #canadianceramics #potteryofbluesky #ceramics #céramique #ceramique #mermaids

Trying my hand yet again at majolica which I find so challenging yet so beautiful. #majolica #clay #pottery #art #potteryispolitical #freepalestine #notinmyname #potteryofbluesky #ceramics #ceramique

Birds of a feather. I made a lot of bird whistles. These are 3 of them

Work in progress- a series of five face cups, playing with emotions. Now to make some glaze & bring to life

For the past few months I have been making whistles. 48 made it through the bisque fire. Here are four

Eating granola from this bowl this morning. My freedom cannot come from the oppression of others. #freepalestine #jewsagainstgenocide #potteryispolitical #art #artispolitical #pottery #clay #potteryofbluesky

Spring is in the air. Here is a little woman sitting in a lake with some fish. Stoneware, underglaze & clear glaze. She lives in the US now. #pottery #ceramics #potteryofbluesky #ceramique #claysculpture #sculpture

We will not stand idly by: Free Mahmoud Khalil!

Jewish Voice for Peace demands the Trump administration release Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention. The detention of Mahmoud is further proof that we are on the brink of a full takeover by a repressive, authoritarian regime.

Stoneware bowls. Was eating cereal out of one of these bowls the other day, and it brought me joy. So good when that happens. #clay #pottery #ceramics #potteryofbluesky #bowl #art

An oldie but a goodie. From when I was making a lot of Buddha. Stoneware and green translucent glaze #pottery #clay #potteryofbluesky #claybuddha #peace #sculpture #art

3 birds. Earthenware and underglaze painting. The perfect size for a bowl of granola #clay #pottery #potteryofbluesky #claybowl #canadianceramics #céramique #earthenware

Haha. Meant naked but came out ‘baked’

Espresso cups. These have all found homes now. Fellas with 70s hair and baked ladies. #clay #pottery #potteryofbluesky #espresso #earthenware #cup #ceramics #canadianceramics

Beautiful!

Mermaid cups. Earthenware, engobes and underglaze painting. #clay #pottery #potteryofbluesky #canadianceramics #mermaid #cup #mugshotmonday

I didn’t sieve the majolica glaze hence the lumps but the message remains the same. Free Palestine 🍉. #majolica #freepalestine #potteryispolitical #pottery #clay #potteryofbluesky #notinmyname #ceramique
