Finally Friday! Got me thinking pretty deep this morning (you may wanna step back to avoid the splatter🀣) About how this mug right here came from a ball of clay... a bit of magic, some luck & visions in my head. ( I think we all can agree, that can be a scary placeπŸ€ͺ) That less than 3 weeks ago this pot... wasn’t even a thing, but in fact... it’s taken decades to get here. That my past experiences started forming this mug years before I even started working with clay. From my time as a waitress I knew it needed to be light and balanced. Married to an alcoholic new it, like me would need strength. My time as Mom to a boy, I knew it should be able to bounce ... maybe at least once. My time in both retail & as a hairstylist, that it should be pretty or at least interesting and nice to touch. My time as a Cafe cook/owner taught me hard work, & small business things that it would take to sell it. My time in hell, working for a soul sucking corporation (you know who you are!🀣) showed me that, it surely can’t be all there is..... ALL of that got me here, to Super Hubs & Pottery.... and this mug. ❀️ How did you get here?? Let’s take a second to applaud where we are today... shoot take the whole weekend!! πŸ˜˜β€οΈπŸ‘β€οΈπŸ‘β€οΈπŸ‘β€οΈπŸ‘β€οΈπŸ‘β€οΈπŸ‘β€οΈπŸ‘β€οΈ #harmonyroadpottery #coloramd #handmademug #smallbatchmaker #muglove #muglover #mudlife #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #howigothere #pastpresentfuture #maketodaycount #whenyouknowbetteryoudobetter #bemorethanfunctional #collegegrandma #imadethisandyouallhelped #kentuckymudworks #brent50years #whitebear #deepthoughts #timegoestoofast #loveyourself #loveyou (at Colora, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0qeQsDg6BL/?igshid=129otph8rmz6c

My first French butter keep. πŸŽ‰πŸ‘ŒMucho Bonita! (Which BTW happens to be my given name, no silly.....not muchoπŸ€£πŸ˜‚) Bonita was a name I never really understood, I mean I knew it meant pretty in one language & good in another πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£( obviously... I AM, pretty good) πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ But why my parents, (who are neither French or Spanish picked it) Something both my Mennonite grandmother and I’ve never understood.... πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Also they gave me this fancy, foreign name, then proceeded to only use it if I was in trouble. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈYou know like β€œBONITA FAYE! get over here!!!” (Which contrary to what you’re probs thinking wasn’t all that often)😜 Most of my life by almost everyone... I’m only known as Bonnie. So why give a β€œfancy” name, to mostly call you another?? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I know I got a chuckle a couple years ago filling out a form they had me, of course as Bonita, but behind that was: AKA Bonnie... I’ve always thought AKA’s were reserved for gangsters and thugs... (which I suppose IF I’d have found a β€œClyde” instead of a Super hubs, may have been true!) πŸ‘΅πŸ»πŸ‘΅πŸ»πŸ‘΅πŸ»πŸ‘΅πŸ»πŸ‘΅πŸ»πŸ‘΅πŸ»πŸ‘΅πŸ»πŸ‘΅πŸ»πŸ‘΅πŸ» #harmonyroadpottery #handmadepottery #glazed #potteryhandmade #whatsinaname #aka #arosebyanyothername #frenchbutter #collegegrandma #akagrandma #frenchbutterkeeper #butter #mmmmbutter #thisoneismine #fancy #ceramika #coloramd #cecilcounty #local #formandfunction #functionalart #prettygood #bonita #whatsyourname #cricutexploreair2 #stencilresistglazing #bareclay #bonnieansuperhubs #bonnieandclyde #confusedatbirth #parentsmessingwithyou#BONITAGETOVERHERE (at Colora, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Vn6ccAmgp/?igshid=tdhna97nmp6s

Unexpected glaze results are the most fun! (It’s a β€œhappy accident) Except that this probably won’t be recreated (at least by me) as this vase was one from the cone 11 reduction firing Ceramics I class at @arcadiauniversity πŸŽ‰ If you’re still taking classes, try the antique vert (?) with the cream or white glaze over it... sorryπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I just don’t remember which this was!
