Cinder Ceramics

I did a thing!
Twenty eight years later to the day, I remarried my best friend, bandmate, and the love of my life. 🫶 We eloped the first time (hence the red velvet mini and shorts!) and this time had a little bohemian gathering with all my besties and family.
It’s been a busy and exciting spring indeed and now it’s time to get caught up with work ♥️

Wishing the dads a very Happy Father’s Day! 🥂

The best distractions, Kenny and Kayla, a hundred times a day 😻😻. Not such little babies anymore!

Springtime still life 🌸
The shop is back open after a little mini-break away with family ♥️

It must be cake and coffee time, yes? 🍰 ☕️

Milestone celebrations! 🥂
I love versatile and functional, and this vase can serve as an anniversary or birthday vase, as a canister or as a utensil holder.

The ladies 🖤
They’ll be available tomorrow, Sunday 4/21 at noon PT ✨

It took me a while to figure out how I wanted to glaze her, but she’s finally finished 🙌🏻
By the end of next week I’ll be ready to release the latest group of new queens. 🎉

Johanna, numbers two and three.
The tallest is off to her new home with Kasey 🤗 and the other will be added to the shop.
These girls are quite tall, at 17 1/2 and 19” tall.

Even though they’re made the same way, no two are ever quite exactly alike. (Just like us!) ♥️

Good morning!
A little reminder that the spring release goes up in the shop today at Noon PT! 🙌🏻

You can preview everything at the website (cinder-ceramics.com) under “Spring Collection.”
Everything will be live in both the main website and the Etsy shop.
I hope you’ll love the new offerings! 🙏🏻♥️
Thank you for all of the wonderful feedback and suggestions with the creation of these designs! You are a huge inspiration.

I already have a long list for the next update! 🙏🏻🤗

As always, so much of my inspiration comes from you! 🤗 🙏🏻
A few more anniversary/special day gifties coming to the shop.
Thank you to Teri for the customization request on the tree pattern vase- I love the purple and the option to add a special date.
Feel free to keep sharing your ideas and requests with me- you are my “why” ♥️

A curly haired version of Mina is off to her new home with Sakshi ♥️

The latest queens and witches collection flew off the shelves! 🙏🏻
This new Briona in blue was just completed and is off to her forever home with Angela ♥️.
Delilah in gray is the now the final available. (link below 👇🏻) Stay tuned for more queens and witches coming soon! ✨

Spring is coming and I’ve brought back a classic: the Daisy Vase! 🌼✨

This one is going to be heading to Frederick in Boston 💗

These are available for pre-order in the shop, with your choice of pink, white or black daisies.

These are final finished pieces made by the awesome students in my last workshop 🙌🏻
Would you believe that some of these were made by folks who’ve never worked with clay before? Pretty incredible work, right?
I’m excited about the next workshop where we’ll be making vessels ♥️
There are a couple of spots left in the Friday evening class if you’d like to join us- (at my Sacramento studio) link and class details are at my website - cinder-ceramics.com

It’s been a while since the babies, Kayla and Kenny, have made an appearance ♥️♥️🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛
They’re a year and a half old now and they still love each other so much and are still inseparable. We call Kenny “Curly” because he sounds just like Curly from the Three Stooges, woop woop wooping all over the house!
Total kitty love over here 😻

Monday moody blue -
We had the craziest windstorm yesterday and lost power for about 15 hours- luckily the kiln had JUST finished firing before everything went dark and this morning I pulled Queen Johanna out of the kiln!
(She’s named after my Oma, whose handmade doily created the pattern of her gown.)

It’s been such a busy couple of years, I haven’t had time to work on any larger sculptures. She stands 19” tall and you can see her size in comparison to my other queens in the final shot. (There are a couple more new queens as well ♥️)

All the new queens and witches will be released this coming Saturday at noon PT 👸🏼 I have a new shop platform and will send an email out with details this week- (you can subscribe at cinder-ceramics.com) 🥂

I’m so blown away by the gorgeous pieces everyone made at this last workshop! This first group of finished pieces is so stunning - and some of these awesome ladies have never worked with clay before.
So proud! Bravo! 👏🏻🙌🏻♥️

The rest will be glazed this weekend and I can’t wait to see them finished.
And a final note on workshops- the February workshop has sold out- I’ll open up a second one 🤗

“I love you” - in Korean ♥️

I used tracing and carbon paper to make sure it was accurate, then carved the letters, fired once, then used black underglaze and wax resist before adding the final white glaze.
I hope the recipient of this Valentines gift will love it!

Are you ready to get your hands in clay and create something beautiful ? 🙌🏻
New year means new workshops, and registration for the year’s first workshop- Dinner Set for Two Handbuilding Workshop - just went live! whoop 🥂
The link is in my bio ☝🏻and on my website (cinder-ceramics.com)
There is an option of choosing one day or two days, for those who would like to come back and glaze their fired pieces.
I’ll be launching more upcoming workshops soon and am working on more online video workshops.
Happy day 2 of 2024! 🫶

Kayla and I wish you a very happy New Year! 🥂♥️

Wishing you all JOY-LOVE-LOVE during this holiday season 🫶

And a heartfelt thank you to everyone for the likes, follows, comments and support you’ve given to me and other independent artists and businesses this year. ✨
Two and a half years since I left the corporate world- It’s been the busiest, most productive year yet and I kind of pinch myself every day.
Merry Christmas and cheers to all of you! 🥂🤗
❤️

Delicious orange and tangerine season- paired with a black clay bowl.
Our tree’s oranges are extra large and delicious this year. 😋
I’m guessing all the rain at the beginning of the year helped!

Bowls and platters are ready to ship for your holiday soirées! 🥂🎄

https://cinderceramics.etsy.com

The gorgeous pieces from the last platter and bowl workshop just completed and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how they turned out!
So creative and inspiring 🙌🏻🥂
I’ll be announcing the new year’s first workshops in the next few weeks! The first couple will be on creating dinner sets for two and carafe and cup making.
If you have specific requests and are interested in coming to a workshop, let me know 💡♥️

The final witches of the season 🧙🖤
The final Agnes ships tomorrow and we’ll see a whole new clan next year. ✨

The beautiful finished platters and bowls from this month’s workshop! 🎉 Gorgeous work, ladies! 🙌🏻
I’m looking forward to the next one on December 2nd. ✨
The online version of this workshop is live if you’d like to make your own at home ♥️ and there’s an Amazon shopping list with all the supplies you need- you’ll just need to fire them at a local studio 🤗

Matchy matchy -
Cream and gray sugar and creamer set to match the new plates.
I’m finishing up a few more new designs and will need to push the holiday winter release out to next week. The exact date will follow shortly. 🙏🏻🥂

Starting to feel the festive vibes of the approaching holidays— red always feels like the right color to bring cheer! ✨
I have a bunch of this beautiful red flower transfer paper to use up - this set will be in the next release. ♥️🥂

There’s a little Witch Endora who snuck into the shop and she’s ready to fly to her new home! 🧹
