I dove into pottery as part of a sabbatical from technical work. Six years as a technician at a university, four years writing a book on the safety of herbs (an onerous and completely fascinating endeavor), and seven years of product development & product safety work for a wonderful medicinal tea company. All amazing stuff, and I’m incredibly grateful to have had work that is personally meaningful to me, but I spent so much time researching herbs, writing about herbs, swimming in regulations, and staring at a computer screen that I needed to take a break to reconnect with the magic and beauty of the plants and spend time with the plants themselves. It has been such an amazing gift to take time to look more closely at plants, observe them as they grow during the course of a season, and collaborate with them to make this pottery. We hope that the pottery will deepen your relationship with plants and remind you of the profound beauty that they create. Most of the pottery is thrown on the potters wheel. I occasionally use slip casting (in handmade molds) or handbuilding to make pieces. Unless otherwise noted, all work is food safe, made for daily use. Work can be washed in dishwashers and heated in microwaves. https://www.florapottery.com/work daily 0.75 2019-07-07 https://www.florapottery.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://www.florapottery.com/shop daily 0.75 2019-12-10 https://www.florapottery.com/raffle daily 0.75 2020-07-09 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d0bbdf7f15bc000013b7d0c/t/5f072c4fa6789a4170adfda7/1594305627747/Story%2B-%2Bthird%2Bprize.jpg raffle - Third Prize Avena Botanicals: Healing Herbs for Women by Deb Soule, Daily Balance tincture, Elderflower Creme (Lavender Scented) The Foragers Club: Set of four herbal pins (Red Clover, Plantain, Yarrow, and Dandelion) Flora Pottery: Sage pendant Madison Safer Illustration: Wild Edible Mushroom print https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d0bbdf7f15bc000013b7d0c/t/5f072bd1fd2aac251270a677/1594305508350/Story+-+first+prize.png raffle - First Prize Kosmic Kitchen: A copy of The Kosmic Kitchen Cookbook (forthcoming) Avena Botanicals: How to Move Like a Gardener by Deb Soule, Firefly Balm, and Lavender Glycerite Zizia Botanicals: Nervine tincture (2 oz) Taproot Threads: Bloodroot tank top (choice of women's size xs-2xl) Lusa Organics: Organic, zero waste: Herbal Shampoo Bar, Herbal Hair Rinse Conditioner, Calendula Lip Balm, Dish Soap Bar The Foragers Club: Set of four herbal pins (Chamomile, Yarrow, Motherwort, Labrador tea) Fruition Seeds: Medicinal herb seed collection and perpetual calendar Flora Pottery: Motherwort mug https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d0bbdf7f15bc000013b7d0c/t/5f072c7528815e3b9f3fb23d/1594305660978/Story%2B-%2Bsecond%2Bprize.jpg raffle - Second prize Avena Botanicals: Peaceful Heart Tea, Rose Petal Elixir, and Rosewater Spritzer Kosmic Kitchen: A copy of The Kosmic Kitchen Cookbook (forthcoming) Zizia Botanicals: Immunity tincture Taproot Threads: Forest reflection t-shirt (choice of unisex size small-2xl) Flora Pottery: Nettle mug Madison Safer Illustration: Gardening Fox print
