Check in on your crafty friends folx… They are probably up late crafting your gifts. I just wrapped up my crafting session at 3am like one does and I went to go brush my teeth and I used my tube of vaseline instead of toothpaste 🤧🥲 #crafts #nightowl #art #handmadechristmas
12 tiny translucent ghosts with rosy cheeks glowing amidst a dark background.
Porcelain translucent ghosts are once again haunting my backyard. They’re definitely one of my least favorite things to make (they are fiddly little buggers) but one of my favourites out of the kiln. #fall #halloween #spooky #witchy #yeglocal
Unfortunately I do not as I’m just a hobby potter who sells locally 🤧
Thank you!! 💜🥹
A black painted raven on a white bowl.
Verigated white/blue pumpkin with platinum painted stars.
From left to right three cups on an exterior fence: the first a splattered black and white curvy cup, the second a chalice with organic stripes of black and white, and a straight wall cup with organic streaks of black and white.
A bowl held aloft at an angle so that part of the interior and exterior are visible. The interior has a painted snake that curls along the walls with painted stars surrounding it. The exterior has a streak of black emulating the snakes body.
Here’s one of the chalices and a few other pots to come out of my latest firing. #witchy #pottery #yegart #yeglocal
Crime number 1, handle broke. Crime number 2, another broken handle. Crime number 3 and WORST OF ALL looked like a bat instead of a possum. #pottery #yeglocal #satisfying #art #yegart
Woah! Very exciting to see how these fire! Especially your crystal glaze mug and your teapot.
My day job is in sexual health education and my passion is in pottery. It’s beautiful to see the two married this way 💜.
Some agateware mugs and chalices in progress. Nothing beats the simplicity of some good old black and white. #pottersofbluesky #yeglocal #yegart
A small fruit bowl is held aloft by a pale hand. The surface of the bowl is white with a black painted raven where the details like shading and the individual feathers have been scratched out to show the white clay. In the background, the sun shines brightly upon a grassy yard and the red siding of a garage.
Little raven commission W.I.P. #pottersofbluesky #yeglocal #raven #sgraffito #yegart
Ahhh! So fun 🧡 pumpkins are one of my absolute favourite forms to throw.
That’s so kind!! I’m also extremely eager to fire them. I’m contemplating doing a luster firing with them. Now I need to decide if I do it all over or only only the hats / accessories.
I was thrilled to discover today that I am in fact not bad at pottery I was just using bad clay 😂. This happens to me more often than I’d like to admit. I stubbornly insist on using clay that is short or too dry. I used some super fresh reclaim today and it was wonderful! #pottersofbluesky
I try to keep my mugs leather hard before attaching handles but that very well may be a contributing factor. I’ll need to give that a try. Thanks!
Part 2 of The Making of a Mimic mug. I couldn’t be more pleased with how this little guy is turning out 🥹. I’m breaking the first rule of pottery and getting attached. #dnd #ttrpg #pottery #pottersofbluesky #mimic
Thank you so much! Such wonderful feedback and suggestions. It is cracking and it happens pretty well every time. They are quite small and are usually right around the seem of the attachment. I’ll try your slip suggestion next time I get cracks!
I’ve definitely heard of using vinegar but I’ve always used sodium silicate. Have you heard of anyone using bisque fix on porcelain?
A closeup view of a tall and curvy porcelain mug. In the background other mugs, a chalice and pink insulation are visible.
Please say a prayer for my mugs 🙏 I’ve tried EVERYTHING and continue to have attachment issues. Potters what are your most unhinged solutions for handles? I’m not talking about slowly drying them out, using magic water or paper clay. #pottery #pottersofbluesky #ceramics
Hi friends. If you are still using AI, just know you don’t need it. You are only damaging yourself and the planet. Now is not the time to dull your critical thinking skills. We also kinda need water to survive
This is maybe my fifth attempt at a mimic mug in my short time as a potter. In previous iterations, something has gone terribly wrong during firing or glazing. Say a little prayer for this little guy. #pottery #dnd #yeg #mimic
Have you dove into the world of hennins? So whimsical and so much variety!
An outstretched hand holds a dark clay butter dish with spikes to emulate a medieval flail weapon. In the background greenery and fencing are visible.
Will there ever be a need for a flail inspired butter dish? No. Did that stop me from spending HOURS on one. Also no! Please feast thine eyes upon the the spikey fruit of my labour.
Fellow artists, what ridiculous project are you working on??

Four miniature clay ghosts sit atop a piece of wooden railing. From left to right one ghost has a cowboy hat, another a crescent moon on its forehead, one with no hat at all and a ghost with devil horns. In the background trees and fencing are visible.
#Summerween is in full swing in my potting shed. It may be August but pottery takes forever, hoping to have a full spooky collection for end of September/ early August. #ghosts #pottery #yeglocal
Meet the artist! My name is Kiera and I am the artist behind The Peevish Possum. While I’ve always been drawn to outlets for creativity and expression, pottery has really been my primary interest since 2022. I’m a big fan of all things nerdy from board games, video games and TTRPG’s.
