ATTN. FELLOW POTTERS ➡️ I have been dealing with shooting pain through my hands as a result of wedging 80 lbs of clay per day. How do you care for your hands with muscle cramping? I’ve started wearing gloves while throwing some which has helped with the water damage to my skin but need to figure out a solution for prepping clay whether that’s changing my methods or adding hand yoga into my regime. If someone wants to donate a pug mill to me, I’ll take it 👋🏽 Appreciate any advice ⬇️ 
This is me, Talia. Owner of White Hearth. I learn a lot of things in each day. Last year I learned not to cut bangs in my hair and things like how many hours are technically in a day. This year I’m devoting time to tending my gardens. 📸: @tovalaolmstead 
Flocculation pertains to the flow and suspension of a glaze and its application on a piece. Common flocculants include calcium chloride, epsom salt, and vinegar. One of the most common factors to glaze reactions to the clay body believe it or not, has to do with the water used and it’s ph level. You can count us to give you facts you didn’t need to know! 💁🏻♀️ 
Above all love. What a concept! Taking from my own day to day: It seemed change required massive waves with crashing momentum but it seems, I had/have it all wrong. I’ve been looking for an earthquake but through it missed the meadow. What if everything is more complex than it needs to be and the smallest change can be the biggest revolution? What if all it took were these three things: to do justice, love kindness, and to walk humbly? I think we all may get to experience the meadow we never knew existed.

Comical really... I beg to differ, but others might think so. The craft I practice every day and have chosen for a living requires a skill I seem to lack the most. Patience. By the end of my life, maybe I’ll be a pro. Fruits of learning curves launching with the next restock on the 1st! (You’ll want to make sure you’re on my newsletter for this batch 🤫) 
If you didn’t have to worry about money but still had to work everyday, what would you do? I’d be here still.
