Happy last weeks of the Martha’s Vineyard Fishing Derby! I just landed these two swimming fish mugs from the kiln this morning. What do you think of the design and colors? I’m considering making this a regular design. 💕🎣
Before and after - 😊 I’ve been experimenting with penciling a design then adding wax resist over it, then coloring in with glazes. It’s a soothing process.
I just unloaded some new mug designs from the kiln! I’ve been experimenting with different colors and decorative techniques, and every kiln load has something new to teach me. 😊
These are earthenware, fired to cone 03. I used wax resist on several of the designs, and tried slip trailing on the last mug.
And yes—they’re made to be used! Food, dishwasher, and microwave safe.
There’s something I love about opening the kiln and seeing how all my experiments turned out - some better than others - but always full of great information. 💕
I picked some of the wildflowers growing around my studio in anticipation of the North Easter - in case they are all blown away this weekend. I love the purple and gold together. 💕
Just unloaded more cheerful cups and mugs!! They are available at our shop Island Folk Pottery in Chilmark, MA
Good morning! ☀️ I just unloaded a kiln full of bright, cheerful pottery, made to bring a little happiness to your everyday. 😊
Vases, cups, mugs, pitchers and more—lots of joyful new pieces fresh from the kiln.
Come by the shop at Island Folk Pottery and see what makes you smile!

This year’s holiday gingerbread cookie theme was based on the wildlife around the island. The best part is decorating together with @hannahbmooreart and @gordonmoorestudio ❤️❤️❤️
✨ Happy Solstice ✨
To honor this turning of the light, I created a short video that brings our Island Folk Pottery Sculpture Trail to life - animating some of Bill’s woodland sculptures, weaving in music, and a Solstice Eve poem I wrote, which he kindly read aloud.
Here’s the poem:
When the last light dwindles on solstice eve
in anticipation of longer days,
the sculptures know to then reflect
to turn a page
to play a song
to know that springtime won’t be long.
Wishing you warmth, wonder, and a gentle return of the light.

As 2024 winds down I find myself reflecting on the year with gratitude - for my family, my community, and the beautiful island that I call home.💕
Just received such an exquisite birthday letter/drawing by my daughter @hannahbmooreart
A magical evening of music and camaraderie was had by all at Radio Farm Woodworks last night. My heartfelt thanks to all the musicians who performed and to Brad Tucker, our gracious host. On nights like these, I am truly grateful to call this island home. 💕💕
