Eclipses, planetary alignments and storms brewing all at the same time means hunkering down and watching the mayhem from the safety of home and with incense smoke drifting through the space. The Slow Dark is arriving and the Witch Hat Incense Burners are ready for your altar (or shelf, or

Making pots is only part of the process. My mentor used to tell me, every time I cane up with a new plan, “sure, you can make all those but then you have to photograph them, list them, market them, and most importantly you have to sell them then ship them safely.” Way to throw cold water on the

This morning I packed up my clay and tools and headed over to for their Exposition Fair to do a demo on throwing repeatable forms. The weather was gorgeous so it was a delight to be outside throwing and chatting with other potters. I won’t be there tomorrow but they still have loads of

Studio Scenes. The way we go through towels in the studio makes me wish I had an old roller washing machine at the edge of a field for rinsing them like the old one my grandma had on her back porch when I was a kid. But then, I’d have to go outside in the summer to do towels in the hot sun so

There comes a point every year when the evenings begin arriving just a little sooner. You start drinking hot coffee and lighting candles. Ghost stories sound better than they did in July and you’re checking to see which streaming service has Practical Magic. Around here, we call it The Slow

When mail from shows up, I get a little giddy. It’s probably the antithesis to my verra serious persona 😝 but it’s honest. His new book Hollow Folk is coming out soon and you can pre-order it now. I read a bit of the back at the end of this not quite unboxing vid. The best part is this box is

I’ve been gathering and making the delicious things that make a house feel specifically yours and intentionally comfortable for you and your guests. The shop is open every week from Thursday - Sunday on the edge of Indianapolis’s Historic Holy Cross and Woodford Place neighborhoods in the Near

This is for the person who secretly wishes every bowl in their cupboard was handmade. Matching sets don’t matter nearly as much as how it feels in your hand. When you have a favorite bowl, it rarely makes its way back into the cupboard. You’re always finding ways to use it and you’re definitely

Deconstructing the male gaze and embracing the matriarchy with a humble mug and a lot of profanity. Fuck the Patriarchy mugs available for preorder at https://gravescopottery.com/collections/pre-order

Some days it feels so dystopian to make pottery for a living when our country is on fire around us. And then a customer messages to tell me how she drinks from her “Not today, fascist” mug every morning while she’s calling her State Reps because it makes her feel empowered. And I get back to it.

The 2025 orders have all officially been thrown and now I’m starting to make heart bowls and heart mugs that will be glazed in one of the warm pink glazes from my last post. 2026 is going to be an entirely new strategy and I’m kind of excited about it. The shop is open through Christmas eve! ☃️

I need to choose one warm pink glaze for an upcoming limited edition collection. Is it the top or the bottom? Halp! I like both for different reasons and can’t decide.

I’m on the verge of reemerging from holiday production and spending a little more time with this guy.

It was a fun weekend at the Ann Arbor Fiber Expo. I’m back home with a pile of fiber and yarn and ready for a day off before heading back into the studio.

I’m so fucking proud of Tracie for organizing a “shopping trip” & making women feel seen in this resistance. Today she gifted one of our “Not today, fascist” mugs at the protest in Howell, Michigan. Do not comply in advance. We need everyday people to stand up and say not today, fascist.

The 22oz Emotionally Intelligent Menace mugs are in the kiln. Who do you know that needs this much caffeine and validation? gravescopottery.com/products/emo...

When @sara-thebaker.bsky.social asked for a custom purple sponge holder I did something really rare. I said yes! I bought just enough glaze to make 7 of these purple sponge holders. If you’d like one, this is your chance to be as cool as Sara! gravescopottery.com/products/spo...
