Want to follow Taylor’s lead? Here are some fun new mini veggie-themed crochet crafts you can do with friends, just in time for your Life of a Showgirl listening parties and festivities. Did we mention there are orange and green ones?! 🧡💚

There’s nothing better than creating your own pottery and then using a piece that you’ve turned yourself.

With PRACTICAL POTTERY, you can easily master the techniques for, and enjoy the meditative experience of, working with clay.

With this accessible guide, beginning potters will learn to make plates, bowls, vases, pitchers, cups, and other fine, useful items by hand on the wheel. This book begins with the basics that progress from easy to more difficult pieces. You’ll learn to add features like spouts and handles and explore modifying shapes, designs, and colors to design your own pottery and make each piece your own.

This is more than a how-to—it’s an invitation to slow down, focus, and reconnect with the hands-on joy of functional ceramics.
