In this kiln reveal, I’m unloading a fresh batch of pottery straight out of the kiln—aka my favorite kind of studio day. I share all the little surprises (and tiny “please be good, please be good” moments) as I pull out orange kitten pieces, rainbow cat mugs, and my absolute chaos crew: the derpiest “not Pikachu” characters… my beloved Derpachus. If you like cozy studio life, cute character ceramics, and the satisfying clink of kiln shelves coming out, this one’s for you. As I go, I talk through what I’m noticing on the finished pieces—color results, how the designs read after firing, and what I’m excited to make more of. These kiln reveals are where I learn the most, because every load teaches me something about what’s working (and what I want to tweak next time). If you want to snag any of the finished work, I list my pottery in my Etsy shop, and you can always find more of my art and updates on my website too.
