This February, to celebrate love, I'm devoting some time for us to explore Anaïs Nin's poetry, stories, and published diaries. I needed some inspiration tonight, so I painted this picture of Anaïs. I can't believe I've never painted her before! I hope you enjoy this painting and the upcoming focus for February. In Studio news, I'm returning to the kiln studio in two days to start my next clay season. I'm taking a course with one of the new artists-in-residence who focuses on different techniques to decorate wheel pottery. I'm most excited to practice more water etching- a process in which a resist is painted onto a bone-dry pot, and the unpainted pot is wiped repeatedly with a damp sponge. This erodes the pot, leaving the painted areas raised. It's a great way to create textures for glazes to dance and play. I can't wait to do more!
I'll also be focusing on the Valentine's Day release. I'll have a whole cache of heart-shaped pieces to add to the Awakening Collection, celebrating a return to light and self-love. It's becoming a beautiful collection, and I look forward to sharing it with you. ❤️
