I packed my bags and left for Lindsborg, KS, to spend the month wandering town and decorating a batch of my hand thrown pottery. Each piece was made on the pottery wheel by me in the months leading up to the residency. Then, I used ceramics paints called \"underglazes\" to embellish each piece. My mission was to collect motifs and stories to tell using my pottery and decorations. I haven't painted much since I graduated Bethany College in 2014, so this month was spent exploring and getting comfortable with my paintbrushes again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eNothing beats the smells that full blooms of peonies give off in a garden. I loved going to my grandmother, Patty's, house where she cultivated a yard of peonies, day lilies and tall trees that were fun to play around. I have fond memories of wandering her yard when her flowers were in full bloom to breathe in the fresh perfumes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis Diner Mug can hold up to 14 fl oz, and measures 4\"w x 4.5\"h. \u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\" data-mce-style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach piece is handmade by Christi Becker and are created in likeness of the original.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christi Becker Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42189012566050,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/2721\/4882\/files\/residency-074.jpg?v=1712967031","url":"https:\/\/christibecker.co\/products\/residency-pottery-15","provider":"Christi Becker Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
