Hello Friend,

Greetings from my hot & humid Kansas City studio!

Despite the heat, I’ve been firing a lot of kilns while creating a new body of work in the past few months. If you follow me on social media, you already know that I have switched up my studio practice a little bit by updating my handpainted imagery, experimenting with new building techniques, and even working with a new clay body.

I am finally able to show some of it off!

Cheers,

Melanie.
