In this episode, I’m in that calm, focused part of the process where the collection starts to feel real—glazing day(s), tiny decisions, and a lot of looking closely. I’m working through the first batch of pieces (mugs in particular), getting them ready for the kiln, and sharing what it actually looks like to move from “idea” to “objects I can hold.” It’s a studio diary kind of video: slow pacing, repetitive tasks, and the little checks I do along the way so the surfaces feel intentional. The best part is the reveal: I’m showing the first fired pieces from this collection, which is always equal parts exciting and nerve-wracking. Seeing the glaze results come through is where everything clicks—color, texture, and the overall vibe of the set. If you’re building your own body of work, the takeaway is that collections are built in batches and in small, consistent studio days. And if you want to see what’s available, I’m updating my online shop as these pieces come out of the kiln.
