updated: 16 June 2025, Wellington ## joining new communities I've joined the [Brand Your Passion Collective](https://www.makerandmoxie.com/community) community run by Hollie Arnett. I feel like I need to learn about branding to share my work better. Here's [my intro video](https://www.loom.com/share/6139b92eae8e47d9ba96a06d100e92f6?sid=57991a52-8f06-4ea4-9099-3ef659124882) when I joined the community. ## planning making sessions I approached a local restaurant asking if they would be interested in hosting pottery sessions. As it turned out, the owner was already thinking about having a crafting evening there. So my request was well timed. ## 3D printing and pottery My friend Derek lent me his Bambu Lab A1 Mini printer along with the AMS and 10 spools of filament. I've been going a bit crazy designing and printing many pottery tools as well as things for the house. It's such a fascinating piece of technology, and I now can't imagine how we got by without one! Here's a series of cup jigs that I designed along with the cups made out of them ![[Cup jigs.jpeg]] ## now archives [[2025-05-09]] [[2025-04-02]] [[2025-03-09]]
