      <image:title>Blog - Making reusable vinyl screen printing stencils - If you liked my reels on Instagram, here is a recap on how to make a reusable vinyl screen print stencil!</image:title>
      <image:caption>1. Create the digital doc in a drawing app. I use Procreate on my iPad but you could use whatever you are most familiar with. 2. Save file and upload in Cricut app. Prepare it for printing like normal by removing the negative space. 3. Use heat transfer vinyl in Cricut machine to create your cuts. 4. Weed the positive space in your newly cut pieces.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Making reusable vinyl screen printing stencils</image:title>
      <image:caption>5. I use silk screen mesh that I got off Amazon for $8. I cut it to the appropriate size. 6. I layer the silk screen and my Cricut cut (shiny side up) between sheets of PTFE Teflon that I also got on Amazon for $7. This protects the Cricut cut from the hot iron. 7. Iron it! Keep good pressure on it until the vinyl adheres to the silk. Then peel away the plastic protective layer. 8. Use the silk screen print on your favorite projects! Here I’m using it with Speedball underglaze. Once I’m done I just rinse out the mesh and let it dry to use it again later. Let me know if you have any questions that I didn’t answer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to recycle clay to give it a second life: - Collect your bone dry clay</image:title>
      <image:caption>The bone dry clay might be your trimmings (as shown here) but it could also be some clay that you had forgotten about and need to rehydrate. If it is a large solid chunk, try to break it up before the next step.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c86f6cd90f90440bfa6c1b5/1612715065491-8WPHG27IZGOZO7P7FL5I/File_000+%281%29.jpeg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - How to recycle clay to give it a second life: - Add water</image:title>
      <image:caption>Put your bone dry clay into a container (preferably one with a lid to prevent spills!) and add enough water to cover the clay. Let it soak for awhile so that the clay becomes soft. This is why breaking up the large clay chunks is very helpful.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c86f6cd90f90440bfa6c1b5/1612715093944-OWSV7HQD17FORBFAG597/File_002.jpeg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - How to recycle clay to give it a second life: - Mixing</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once the clay is softened, it is a great idea to mix up the clay. This makes it more homogenous for the next step. I use an immersion blender to mix the clay thoroughly in the container that is is in.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c86f6cd90f90440bfa6c1b5/1612715077440-0Q8VVMNK7PXDTOXIJCGB/File_001+%281%29.jpeg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - How to recycle clay to give it a second life: - Letting the mix dry out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once your clay is blended, you will have made slip (yogurt like consistency of clay to bind attachments together). Lay the slip out onto a surface to dry. A plaster mold works the best as the plaster wicks the water out of the slip faster. If you don’t have plaster, a wooden board covered in canvas can also work well.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to recycle clay to give it a second life: - Check on the progress</image:title>
      <image:caption>As your slip dries out, it will become more like normal clay again. It can be rather sticky in some places and dry in others so I like to scrap it up and mix it around so that it dries out more evenly.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>

      <image:title>Blog - How to recycle clay to give it a second life: - Wedging</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once the clay has dried out, it is time to wedge. Wedging is very important as it squeezes out the air bubbles in your clay. (If you have air bubbles in your clay, it will explode in the firing process) Continue to push down and squeeze those air bubbles out until your clay becomes less sticky.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Blog - How to recycle clay to give it a second life: - Wedging</image:title>
      <image:caption>The clay will become less sticky as you wedge. If it is really sticky, wedge on canvas or plaster to help the excess water to get absorbed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Creating a public mural - I have been chosen!</image:title>
      <image:caption>How exciting right?! I know this is a website about ceramics and all things clay, but I have been working on something a little different. Right before the COVID quarantine back in March I applied to paint a local storm drain mural focused on conservation and keeping our Earth clean. I was chosen to paint the mural that I designed in downtown Simpsonville! On the left you can see the original drawing that I worked up for the competition. I have had a goal for awhile now to create some sort of public art (not that ceramics are not public necessarily). I applied to this on a whim, knowing that I am primarily seen as a potter. Yet I have always loved to paint. That is really how I got into art to begin with.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Creating a public mural - Painting in my past</image:title>
      <image:caption>I remember my mom buying me a Bob Ross book that I worked along side on my parents back porch. I painted for hours out there in the summer with the easel and paints that my parents also had bought me. I couldn’t get enough of the different techniques and styles of the brushes and how they effected the paint application. (getting a little nerdy over here…) I still use my painting and drawing skills on my pots all of the time. This is how I add the fun into the functional and the pretty into the practical in my current work. On the right you can see one of my first paintings circa 2010 from my summer days spent on the back porch painting. I am so excited to get started on this mural. My paint brushes have been pulled out, the paint has been ordered, and the spot has been power washed! It seems so small, but it is very exciting to me that I get to leave even a tiny mark on the town that I have lived in for the past 5 years.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Freebie Potted Print - Always and Always</image:title>
      <image:caption>As some of you may know, I teach digital media as well as ceramics at Greenville High School. So I have been working on something special for all of you! I have created a digital print-out for all of you to have for yourselves. It features one of my favorite pots, flowers from my garden, and a quote that I genuinely love. To create this piece I used Adobe Photoshop and the app Procreate. This was a fun little project where I used a photo that I had taken last spring and created a cartooned version of it. I teach a similar project to the kids at school, and they always love it. So as the summer slipped by, I created this to relax as I had a few spare minutes here and there. This project was created through several states, obviously South Carolina but also California, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The quote came to me in an instant. I have always loved Claude Monet’s art above others. Something about the blending blues and greens have always been quite enticing. And what better quote than one involving flowers! To have this print sent to you to print out, just fill out the small form below and I will send it to you right away. I can’t wait to see you in your inbox!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Things have been happening! - Hey everybody!</image:title>
      <image:caption>This summer has been a blur, so here is a little overview of what has been going down.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Things have been happening! - Gallery struggles…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Some of you may know that at the beginning of the summer I became part of a gallery in downtown Greenville called The Art Cellar. Unfortunately, due to the location and some landlord issues, they have decided to close their doors. Everything happens for a reason and I am glad to have been a part of the gallery for even a short time. Now I am working tirelessly on getting my work back out there.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Things have been happening! - This Friday,</image:title>
      <image:caption>I will be participating in the Greenville Center for Creative Arts Annual Showcase. I will have a sweet little vase that I have hand painted in there up for sale. I unfortunately cannot attend the First Friday opening reception, but I sure hope that if you are in town you can pop in!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Things have been happening! - Also in the good news category,</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am going to be a part of Art on the Trail this October in Travelers Rest, SC. I am so excited (and nervous) because this will be my first fair. So if you are in town October 5th, please stop by and see my booth full of new goodies that I have been creating.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Things have been happening! - Lastly,</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have really been into creating my ceramic jewelry. I have begun a line of necklaces that should be coming out soon, so get excited people! I will try not to get too attached to them so that you guys could get a chance at some of them.</image:caption>
