I’m having another open studio event this Saturday. Just wanted to share what my studio looks like. It’s the garage behind our house, converted into a #pottery workshop. That’s a wood fired #RocketKiln in front and I have electric kilns inside. I could run my biz solely online (and I was grateful to during early pandemic era, 2020-2021) but that feels strange since my pottery pulls so much from my surroundings. It only makes sense to share it with other people who live here. #Florida

@potterybyosa I need to get over to that side of the state! Would love to see your work and studio up close. Do you have these events often? 😊

@potterybyosa One of my good friends from years ago is a ceramic artist. Had a studio in the middle of nowhere. Her dream was move out to rural BC somewhere, build a kiln inside a hill and just make art. Your work reminds me of her. I was the chemistry teacher when we were teaching together, but she taught me so much about glazes and experimentation. I wonder how she's doing. We lost touch and she doesn't really respond anymore. Thanks for sharing pieces of your life and your art with us. ❤️

@potterybyosa I would love to know more about the rocket kiln. I got part way through building one and it might actually work but I got so overwhelmed by the process that I haven't touched it since.
