This is Clay on my mind

Here you will find all things clay — the focus will be on the workings of my studio, what I make, what I am working on, workshops I have attended or hosted, etc., but it can also be an essay on a topic, such as a specific pottery technique or making process, and it can include my thoughts and ideas.

When you subscribe to Clay on my mind, you will receive a fortnightly newsletter. Additionally, once a month (more or less), I will also publish a Portuguese Expressions post (you can read an example here) where I will give the literal translation and a short explanation of some interesting expressions in my mother-tongue. I hope they will be as much fun to read as it has been to tell them to my friends over the years.

Once in a while, I will also send you a Postcard, (this one about Lisbon turned out a bit different than I had planned, and this one about Porto Santo was a lot of fun to write).

All posts and short videos are free to read and watch.

Subscribing, reading, sharing, liking and commenting are all amazing ways in which you can put a smile on my face and help Clay on my mind reach more readers. If you feel you would like to further support my work (and are able to), you can become a paid subscriber. At this tier, you will also have access to demo and tutorial videos, and your choice of ceramic piece (30€ value) sent to you free, wherever you are in the world.

If you subscribe at the founding or patronage level, you will have my eternal gratitude as well as 40% discount on every purchase you make on my Etsy store for one year.

Whichever plan you choose, I couldn’t be happier you are here. I do hope you enjoy Clay on my mind and am looking forward to hearing from you in the comments.

I have included below links to some posts that may give you an idea of what I enjoy writing about. Happy reading!

I’ll start by apologising for having skipped a week. My schedule got derailed again by one of my migraines (you can find out more about that here) and I was not able to finish writing on time to post last Monday. Deciding against posting later in the week, I opted instead for leaving it for next time. And so, here we are.


If you would like to see my work

I am on Instagram and on my Etsy store you can find some of the pieces created in my small home studio.

I make pots and write about it. I'm a cat person who now has a dog. Mostly, I'm a human trying to live a good life in these complicated times.
