Whew, I’m finally feeling rested from a back to back firing/market/vaccine trio and I’m popping in to say thank you to everyone who came out to the @fairviewhandmademarket last weekend!! Also to anyone who bought a raffle ticket, or helped spread the word about it, thanks so much! The raffle raised just over $3,000 for Root Cause Farm!! 🙌 Y’all did that! Good stuff all around!

This 12oz diner mug with Lavender seedhead pressings is one of my favorites from this firing. Loving these yellows! I’ve spent today photographing most every pot in case they find new homes tomorrow at the @fairviewhandmademarket at @rootcausefarm (12-4)!

We unloaded the kiln yesterday!! It was a wild, experimental firing that turned out really great despite a near disaster (front stack leaned into bagwall, so dang lucky). Everyone had some fun and took home some pretty sweet pots which was really all I could have hoped for. I’m pretty smitten with some of mine, too! Thanks to a fun and hard working crew! (@dirtdobberwares @so.stoked.pottery @candicehensley) ✨😎

Now I’m sanding, washing and packing pots for the @fairviewhandmademarket at @rootcausefarm this Sunday (Mother’s Day!) from 12-4!!
It’s going to be so beautiful! 🌤

It’s 2am and I’m sittin’ out here by the kiln after a great day loading with an inspiring crew of folks. The kiln is at 250 degrees and it’s super peaceful out here other than the occasional drag race down on hwy 70, and the Opossum that just totally had me thinking it was a bear. I love the overnight “candling” shift. There aren’t many things I’ll stay up all night for these days. Happy to be here and super excited about this kiln load.

Loading a bisque kiln this morning in the company

Loading a bisque kiln this morning in the company of some very chipper songbirds. Behind the mugs are the first flower bricks I’ve ever made, inspired by the most gorgeous piece which I had the honor of firing recently for @sylviesclay.

Happy Earth Day! 🌍
I am honored to be a part of this incredible raffle being put on by the Fairview Handmade Market for @rootcausefarm. This is one of the three beautiful collections of handmade items donated by 15 vendors which you can see over at the @fairviewhandmademarket page.
Root Cause Farm grows food on an acre of land in Fairview to distribute to the community. Last year they were able to share 9,500 pounds of fresh, organic produce. I am so happy to be able to support their important work.

I’m pretty smitten with this salty little casserole dish. The bamboo shoots are just beginning to pop up here so I’m imagining it bubbling over with a wild variation of spinach artichoke dip (lambsquarters bamboo dip). SO good!! Looking so forward to summertime potlucks and dinners with friends. ✨
This casserole will be available at the @fairviewhandmademarket on May 9th!

There were lots of bowls in this firing, and some sweet ash deposits in the bottom of quite a few of ‘em. These are the pots that make all of those days of wood prep super worth while. ✨

Just standing out here in the spring breeze taking in this kiln load, thinking about what I like, what I love and what I could do better next time. All in all it was a great firing! I’ll be sanding and photographing each one of the keepers over the next few days and packing them all up for the @fairviewhandmademarket! <— give them a follow to see work by the incredible makers I’ll be out there with, and to hear about the upcoming raffles benefitting @rootcausefarm which you will not want to miss. ✨

One from yesterday. Matt got up at 4:30 this morning and lit the ‘campfire’ for me. I slept til 7, made some breakfast, fed the dogs and when I got to the kiln it was time to push the fire into the firebox. Now it’s just cruising along slowly. I’m sittin’ at about 700 degrees, listening to some John Lee Hooker in the sunshine with the pups. Happy Easter! ☀️

For those of you whom I haven’t had the pleasure

For those of you whom I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting, I’m Lindsay West! My business name comes from my maiden name, Bostic, which was passed down from my grandpa George, who was from Bostic, N.C. He and my grandma Connie moved to the Asheville area when my dad was a kid, and my family has been here ever since.
My love for wood firing stems from a childhood of tending the woodstove with my mom, and watching my dad fell trees like a pro out in the woods on the weekends. The smell of fresh cut trees and 2 stroke oil makes me feel at home. To this day, wood prep is still something I truly enjoy.
After 10 years of working in the landscaping industry, I went to our local tech school and took a pottery class. I was hooked! After gradation I enrolled at UNC Asheville where there was a big Japanese style kiln called an Anagama. This kiln was something special. It took 3 days to load, 3 days to fire, and was very much the center point of the most wonderful happenings! Students came and stoked the fire in 4 hour shifts (some of us stayed longer). It was a magical time. I knew then that I’d fire my pots with wood.
Last year my husband Matt and I made that dream come true. We built this little kiln in the back yard made from mostly used brick we collected since my graduation. I’m getting ready to load it up on Friday and fire it over the weekend for the second time! I’m excited!
Thanks so much for following, and I hope I get to meet you out in the world one fine day.
