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 painted tile measures 8\"w x 8\"h.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christi Becker Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42244636672034,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/2721\/4882\/files\/residency-10.jpg?v=1713187784","url":"https:\/\/christibecker.co\/products\/residency-pottery-28","provider":"Christi Becker Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
