Third Craft Pottery

Back from Spain and Portugal, schools started, and trying to get back into things. Now I prepare for Jamaica Plain Open Studios on Sept 26 & 27 (I’ll be at the brewery group site). I’ll have some new work with new patterns I’ve been exploring, as well as some familiar ones.

As years prior, I will also have pins, earrings, necklaces, and magnets where proceeds will be donated to families in you know where. (The shadowbanning is real on this thing)

If you’ve missed my story updates, I’ve been working on a couple big pieces for a couple upcoming shows for early next year- swipe to see the progress!

So much to do, so little time.

I’m already planning for the first 1/3 of next year on top of Jamaica Plain Open Studios and Roslindale Open Studios this fall.

I’ve been cooking up some exciting projects and I can’t wait to show you.

Which color scheme do you like more? Let me know in the comments!

New pots. Swipe for an important message.

Not too much new here. Just making new work.

Find me next at:
Jamaica Plain Open Studios September 26-27 11-6pm. I will be at the brewery this year.

And

Roslindale Open Studios October 17-18 11-5pm (location TBD, but for sure at one of the group sites :))

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU.

Within 24 hours, you all showed up, donated, shared generously, and surpassed expectations. Because of your donations, Tala’s family is not only able to find safer shelter, but they will be able to cover at least 3 months rent, moving expenses, and Tala can continue her studies that have been put on pause for 3 years.

They have started moving their belongings this morning and wanted me to express their gratitude to you all. For anyone who would like to continue supporting her family, please DM , who has set up monthly donations with a small community of supporters.

♥️

Most of you know my friend, Tala. I have been helping her and her family for the last 3+ years survive the ongoing slaughter. I recently learned that her safety is at risk. After just relocating to a place and using her education money to pay rent on it, they learned that they need to flee immediately.
I am hoping to send donations to her by tomorrow morning. If you are able to contribute, please Venmo me -ismail and I will make sure it gets to her. (DM me if you prefer another method).

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has helped her family and continues to do so.
