Hola! I have been secretly working on some pieces

Hola!
I have been secretly working on some pieces and new designs for products in the last few weeks.
As I shared on my stories, I was in Melbourne this week (not catching covid as many of you guessed 😆, let's hope not anyway), but delivering these beauties at a new home for my creations.
I have been holding this news from you for weeks! and I decided to stay away from social media just because it was really hard to keep it quiet 🙊🙊🙊, but I can finally get to tell you!.

Alma Terra handmade Pottery will be @designaspace retail gallery at the iconic chapel St in Windsor. This retail space is the home if many independent designers showcasing fashion, accessories and homewares.
You melbournians are probably familiar with this store which has three branches around the cool suburbs of Melbourne.
My pottery is already available, and will be making designs sold there in Windsor only. So if you are around and looking for a spesh present for that wedding, anniversary, engagement, birthday or just simply because you love functional art, go and check them out!!. There are big sized platters, servingboards and vases available mainly, but I also added a few of my popular small pieces. I am extremely happy about this new adventure, welcome 2022!!! 🎆🎇🎆
Design a space is at 142 chapel St, Windsor.

Happy New Year! Feliz Año Nuevo!, may your new y

Happy New Year! Feliz Año Nuevo!, may your new year be full of new opportunities, smiles and positive energy. I also hope you all had a fantastic time enjoying precious time with your loved ones.

What a year 2021 was!, I was not expecting such a big change in my life, there are so many goals achieved last year, also new unexpected opportunities that I took onboard and I am incredibly grateful for it. Thanks to all the customers, followers, new people I have met along this creative journey, friends and family, you have all helped me to achieve my goals.
I am so looking forward to the challenges and opportunities this year may bring, I feel super excited for some reason. I hope it is a positive one for you too!.

This morning as I was organizing a few upcoming events, I booked my first market for 2022, I was kind of lucky to find a spot at the Violet Town Market this Saturday (totally unexpected 😨) So if you are around or travelling along the Hume highway....it is a very short drive in 😉.

What I am up to?, I am still in "rest mode" this week, the heat does not do well for me sadly, I am kind of a sloth during the Victorian summer time 😰😰. But, I take this time to tackle other bits and pieces like reorganizing my work space, tidying my home after the Xmas mayhem, finishing a pile of little protects I couldn't do last year. I am going to the river in the evenings to cool down with my family, and most importantly... I am enjoying the luxury of just being, which was a big lesson I took from last year, thank you 2021!!.

What are you people up too!!!???

(The pics I am sharing were from a recent trip interstate Yayyyyyy finally!! A few days at Thredbo and Canberra 😊😊).

Oh Christmas!! It is our favorite time of the year

Oh Christmas!! It is our favorite time of the year. It is our time to be together, to do fun things, and rest, to celebrate another year of experiences, whether they are good or bad, to be with friends and family.
Christmas it is our time to give each other all the love we have.
This is why I love it, it is not about the material things, it is about celebrating life, the good and lucky life we have.
Our plan is to be at home and host Xmas this year with our little family (we haven't celebrated it at home for a long time). We are so looking forward.
What is your plan this Xmas?

These ceramics pieces were made by me. The little trees sold out at the recent markets. The big tree was a personal project, should I make some next year?.

And it is done!!! I had my epic 3 days markets in a row, and it is done and dusted 😵😨😊.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! from the bottom of my heart, you people are just amazing, I am so grateful for all your generous purchases, your positive feedback about what I do and all the chats we had. Thank you for appreciating the work involved on my creations, you now have a unique designed functional art piece at your home.
A year ago I was not very sure how this journey was going to go, but your feedback is so encouraging, your interest fills my heart of love 💚💛❤
It has been a very tough couple of years for all Aussies (and the whole world) many people have lost jobs, but, many if you have decided to somehow support local microbusiness when possible. That's an amazing thinking shift and I hope it becomes the normal.
That's it for now, this pottery artist is going enjoy a couple of weeks just being a mum, a gardener and a person who enjoys life!!
Thank you again !!!
Xxx Jessica.

Hi locals from the North East Victoria!!
I hope to see you at the milawa twilight market today and tomorrow!!
I'll have lots of goodies for all budgets, they are made with lots of love, a fair bit of time goes on each piece. They are made ethically using only Australian made products from Aussie companies. Not to mention that they are fired with green energy 🌱🌞🌎. Care for the earth is one of the big goals for my little business.

🎄 🎄 🎄

Also, I'll be on Sunday at Beechworth Rotary Club Market from 9-1 pm. This will be my last market for 2021 😉😉

I have dropped new items @maeka.popup shop this morning!!!, they are new one off designs, so hurry and snap one of them or... a few before too late, because once they are gone, they are gone!.

My making production is slowing down at the moment, just a few things here and there. Planning for next year and tidying up my ideas.

I am starting to feel very jolly and I am enjoying this holiday season already 🎄. I am doing things I love to and dedicating some time to myself and my family. I have also a pile of books waiting to be read finally!!! 💕.
I hope you lovely people are taking the time to enjoy the present moment. It has been hard with everything that is going on. I hope you all have enough time to enjoy the little things and prioritize what really matters. At least that is what I take from the whole mess we are in, taking the positives with me and leaving behind all the negatives. 🙏🙏🙏

What is your state of mind at the moment?

Three designs of sugar bowls will be available this Saturday at Yarrawonga Christmas market among other goodies that will make great pressies!! 🎄 🎄 🎄

Due to my over commitment this year, I won't be able to do a website update at this point 😢. It just takes a lot if my time. This is my first year attending events and doing wholesales and it all came rolling like a snowball to me 😅 (but I am very grateful for it).
I will have a massive weekend next week attending markets and that would be it for this maker this year 😊. I think I need some me time so I don't get to Xmas day with exhaustion 😜.

If you are in Yarrawonga-Mulwala area come and say hi!!!

I am just a little bit happy with the pieces that came out of the kiln this morning 💃 😊.
I have been looking forward to have all these designs grouped in a picture. They are all inspiration of vintage mid-century designs that I deeply admire such as: Stig Lindberg, Cathrine Holm and the more contemporary Orla kiely, scandinavian and Irish designers. It is going to be hard to let go of these.
I love the mixing of bold colours and simple patterns, I think mid-century just had a special style, they just knew how to get it right. Are you a mid-century admirer? Do you have a favorite designer?

Hola everyone!
I haven't said hello to the new followers of this account for a little while. So, bienvenidos!!!!

I am Jessica, a chilean born and raised pottery artist living in regional Victoria. When not playing with clay I am in my garden, going for walks or juggling with household chores and a family.

I make functional pieces in colourful and joyful designs. I love making ceramics! I 'd like to think I am leaving a positive mark in the world through the creation of a functional art pieces. Something that deserves a little space in someone's life, because it was created with love and passion. Behind each piece, there is a story of determination and chasing a dream.

I also take this chance to say thank you to all the people that have stop to say hi at markets, having a look at my products, all the compliments, positive feedback and purchases whether at markets or online, this helps me to keep going.

As Christmas approaches, on behalf of all the wonderful makers I have met at markets, I just wanted to encourage you to support locally made. Your purchases help directly to an Aussie family, a small business, many women in biz!!.
A micro business cares about their customers and building relationships. So much care has been taken when sourcing materials and all through the making process. There are so many wonderful products out there made locally and ethically, it is a real and fantastic movement happening, a meaningful one full of love.
Jess.
