#claygratitude to my family. The people I love most. I wish I had gotten a photo of us tonight but this old Polaroid will be a fine substitute. It means so much to see you all use my mugs. Love you all so much. ❤️️ (at Chicago, Illinois)

The soda kiln at @lillstreetceramics has been at the center of my practice for the last few months. I have the opportunity to experiment and learn in the amazing studio surrounded but such a vibrant clay community. The people and the work they make is an inspiration for me to keep pushing my self to try new forms, techniques and paths for making. There are so many people at lill that I owe #claygratitude but I especially want to thank @chrischaneyceramics and the talented group I have been lucky enough join in his classes for the last few months. It is such a blast learning with you all. (at Lillstreet Art Center)

Working at Standard Ceramic Supply has opened many doors in the clay world to me as well as shown me a side of the clay business that few potters ever see. It takes a lot to get your clay, chemicals and tools to you and the people I work with at Standard do a wonderful job doing just that. They have given me opportunities to learn tremendous amounts about the chemicals and tools we sell and where they come from as well as the different characteristics of all the clays we sell.
Thank you Jim, Graham, Marcos, Diana, and Spencer for giving me the opportunities to learn and work with you. #claygratitude (at Ceramic Supply Chicago)
