Was given this helpful #artbiz advice years ago, and want to pass it on: Your email list should be your primary #marketing tool. Do not rely on any 3rd party app (including this one) to connect you with people who are interested in your work.
Growing my email list is what gave me the freedom to move away from IG. Email subscribers are 100x more engaged than social media scrollers. They don't mind reading paragraphs and are way more likely to make a purchase. Think #qualitynotquantity

My last #selfie for the algorithm before I deleted IG last weekend. Goodbye after 12 yrs + 50k followers 👋🏾 I couldn’t have done it if I hadn’t gained some traction here, so thank you for following.
I grew up in #punkrock and #anarchist organizing, so moving to #NonCorporate and #decentralized social media feels full circle. I want my #pottery to be part of a future of thought that represents progress and liberation.

Every #potter, every #craftsperson, is a #culturalpreservationist. When I took my first pottery class 12 years ago, I had no idea what I was participating in, how ancient and huge it was.
A South African potter named #JabulileNala taught me how to coil build. She comes from a long line of #Zulu potters with a tradition extending back at least 2,000 years.
Biseat Yakwal took this #filmphoto of me teaching a coil building workshop in Gainesville, FL in 2023.

We have so much to learn from the ways #plants adapt to their environment. I love making pots that pour, and the super long spout on this plant watering can was a fun challenge. Water is life, and throughout history, people have made beautiful vessels to contain it.
The pot is decorated with #wildclay collected in Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama and Lake Ontario. I turn the clays into decorating slips called terra sigillata that I paint onto the surface.
