👋 I'm Magdalena. 🔥 I've started pottery as a hobby a couple years back and I want to make it my life ;) ✈️ I've recently moved from the USA to Portugal and I'm slowly figuring out how to live here. 🛍️ https://mb-pottery.com 🗺️ Aveiro, Portugal

#throwback This summer I tried raku for the first time, which is a very hot and violent firing process! 🔥🔥🔥 I attended a two-part workshop led by Portuguese artists Maria João Cravo (hand building class) and Yola Vale (raku glazing and firing). They are great! #pottery

One of the last items I made before closing my studio. It's the biggest thing I made, it covered the whole 12in bat and I had to fire it directly on the bottom bricks in my kiln. I was pretty lucky that it fit in, as I didn't measure the kiln beforehand and I forgot the thermocouple sticks out 🤦‍♀️

I'll have a couple unique doodle mugs in the next store update. They turn out really cute but recently I'm more in the mood for glaze experimentation. I think I'm kind of winding down mug making for the year and getting "back to basics" - practice & experiment. #pottery #handmade
