Building a Life, One Day at a Time.
Hi there. And Welcome.
Whether you’re a close friend who has been helping me make my dream at NottaLottaWatta a reality or if you’re a diy-er searching for resources and anecdotes about how a project of this magnitude comes to life [albeit slowly], I’m glad you’re here.
Anyone who has attempted to apply some intention and do-it-yourself knows the complexity that comes from making your own laundry soap, rolling your own noodles, or raising your own food. But from that complexity comes self-sufficiency, greater self esteem, financial perks, greater understanding, and a shift in responsibility that brings the consequences of our living closer to home.
If you are looking to reclaim parts of your life or are planning an off-grid homestead, I hope there is something here that will help you on your journey. If nothing else, it is good to know that you are not alone. For me, the decision to live more intentionally comes from a desire to work for myself, the gratification derived from making something well, and a hunch that more folks living simply is exactly what the world needs right now.
THE POTTERY
Learn more about the mark, the kiln, and my inspiration.
There is a rich and complex history in ceramics that ties together the lives of people both living and those who came thousands of years before us. It is, at the same time, an opportunity to appreciate ancient anthropology, and to make something pleasing from which I can enjoy a bowl of ice cream, hot soup or green tea.
