Maria Chambers Pottery

Canvassed for Jackson yesterday & brought home a sign - also one for my neighbor. Got home from school today & they’re both gone (I had an extra, luckily) but really, people? Are you going to steal my flag too? 🇺🇸 #MEpolitics #collinsiscomplicit #voteherout @troyjackson207.bsky.social

I have quite literally lost count of how many times I have tried to unsubscribe from Susan Collins Tuesday emails… and yet they just keep coming! Today’s big announcement? “100% perfect score on animal welfare” Wow. How about constituent welfare, Senator? How are we doing there? #MEPolitics

It’s been all #MEPolitics all the time but I had to pause today to take this beauty in. This is The Community School for Place-based Education on MDI. Feeling grateful for this place and the amazing people here. 🧡✨

I love this so much.

Give it up for San Francisco, y’all! 🔥🔥🔥

"[Susan] Collins operates with the same sense of impunity as these masked thugs, as if nothing she does could possibly catch up with her. It is time for us to prove her wrong." #MEpolitics

A letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after he was murdered by ICE.

Susan Collins of Maine voted to fund ICE with $70 billion and with no reforms. She must go.

We grieve today. Joan Sebastian Guerrero was 26. He was a husband, a father, and a neighbor. 💔

Finally got a copy of this gorgeous book from the library, but I’m going to have to buy a copy for my classroom! Thank you @meerasub.bsky.social & Danica Novgorodoff. 🧡

just took a small assortment of fresh pots up to #beechhillfarm for their opening day tomorrow. All proceeds will go to their awesome “Share the Harvest” program. #MEpotter #pottersofbluesky #barnstudio #sharetheharvest #potteryispolitical

glazing magic 💫 (wait for it…) never gets old! #pottersofbluesky #Mainepotter #barnstudio #glazingmagic

Process. Glazing diptych mugs… #pottersofbluesky #Mainepotter #barnstudio #MDI

SO well said. Thank you. ❤️

Winter wonderland. #barnstudio #MEpotter #pottersofbluesky

View from the barn studio today. Nice to be back in a winter wonderland.

2hr delay from school ❄️ snowy morning glazing! #pottersofbluesky #Mainepotter #barnstudio

My cozy barn studio at night under the December moon. #barnstudio #MEpotters

I really love making one-of-a-kind pots. This one is an inside joke with one of the fabulous builders who helped transform this barn into a beautiful POTTERY STUDIO! 🧡#pottersofbluesky #MEpotters #barnstudio

THIS.

…made some new mugs in the studio today, aiming to fill the kiln again soon in prep for a fun little holiday market mid December! #MEpotter #pottersofbluesky #handlingpots

Wednesday mornings we start with watercolors in my classroom. Today I felt the need for a little “note to self” - a visual reminder for when the rage sets in. Thank you, Dr. King. #watercolorwednesday #MLK

Ballot Measure 1 in Maine has been deceptively branded as a voter ID issue. VOTE NO ON 1 TO PROTECT ACCESS TO ABSENTEE BALLOTS! 40% of Mainers voted by absentee ballots in the last election, and over 60% of Maine’s seniors. VOTE NO ON 1! 💪 🇺🇸 #MEpolitics

So excited to have more of this in my feed. Thank you @4nikkolas.bsky.social for you beautiful and POWERFUL art. 💥

For LOVE of America!!! 💪❤️ 🇺🇸

a little morning serenity, for anyone who needs it today. #MEpolitics #Mainealways #Mainepotter

For LOVE of America #NOKINGS ❤️ 🇺🇸 💪 where will you be on October 18th?! #MEPolitics

YES. Could not love this more. This is how you do it. #MEpolitics

Hooray!!! Hope returns. Thank you @dunlapforcongress.bsky.social for stepping up - we need you! Ready to support you in every way I can. 💪 🇺🇸 #nokings

THIS. Can’t wait to call this man my senator.

“The freedom to live lives of dignity and fulfillment… and JOY.”

Meanwhile, this one’s for Graham @grahamformaine.bsky.social (I have one for Amy, too!) Let’s do this, Maine!!! #Mainealways #Mainepotter #pottersofbluesky #potteryispolitical

@golden.house.gov had the audacity to ask me for a campaign donation yesterday, meanwhile I’m just hoping & praying that someone - ANYONE who has the courage to fight for our democracy - will run against him. Anyone else hear that Matt Dunlap is a possible contender?! #MEpolitics #nokings

Sunday Studio time. Cultivating joy in the madness. Tomorrow I meet @grahamformaine.bsky.social - another source of joy & hope! Onward.

Glazing magic. (wait for it…) #mainepotter #pottersofbluesky #home

Bucket list item: Speak at a rally with Sen. Bernie Sanders on Labor Day ✅

Full houses in Sullivan (population 1,244), Ellsworth (population 8,907) Sorrento (population 279), and Orland (population 2,203). We’re building something big enough to win. Find a town hall near you: grahamforsenate.com/events

The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…

Okay Maine, I’m making you mugs! In the words of @crysmatthews.bsky.social “If we stop hoping we stop fighting and that’s how a tyrant wins…” here’s to renewed hope, thanks to @grahamformaine.bsky.social - who’s doing the volunteer training Monday night?! #kickCollinstothecurb #rollyoursleevesup

Maine, always. This is our home. I’m so inspired - thank you @grahamformaine.bsky.social It’s about time. #wip #potteryispolitical

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

It’s glazing time! I finally fired a kiln full of pots and now have dozens of little ceramic canvases awaiting glaze. Looking forward to a foray back into some activist pots soon but for today, it’s all about joy and gratitude. These come straight from my beautiful morning on the water. Home.

Morning in the studio… Finding and cultivating joy can feel secondary in importance when we are faced with a democracy in crisis, but wise people keep reminding me that it is actually an essential part of fueling the resistance. Hoping you find some beauty and joy in your day. #potteryispolitical

So good to be making again! #whiskeysipper #pottersofbluesky #kentuckymudworks

Happiness is being back in the saddle. I went 18mos without throwing pots while this gorgeous little barn studio was under renovation… it was a long stretch and my heart is so very happy to be making again! Full of gratitude. Starting this cycle with faceted whiskey sippers, as always.
