This desert is a mosaic of interdependence—where bats pollinate saguaros, coyotes regulate prey, and flash floods carve new paths for life. It’s a fragile balance, shaped by fire, water, and heat, yet endlessly resilient. When I work clay, I feel part of that cycle: earth reshaped by water and hardened by fire. Each piece is a reflection of the desert’s truth—that survival and beauty are inseparable.

More About Glazing Experiments

Glazing pottery is a whole other beast! I still have so much to do to get better at throwing pots but glazing is its own beast. I made these test tiles so I could figure out decent combos of different glazes. It’s important to me that I find a few go to glazes not just randomly glazed pots. I do keep track of everything I glaze with numbers on the bottoms of the pots. I do that since I’m still so new but I’m sure, eventually, I won’t need to keep track since it’ll be ingrained in my memory.
