Ursula Basinger Ceramics

thanks for stopping by

I make ceramics in Tucson, Arizona. Each piece is carefully crafted by hand with the intention to celebrate the beauty in everyday life.

Meanwhile on Instagram...

Two things I love: plants and borrowing my sister’s clothes

I just want to post a picture of this whimsical Joshua tree but it’s complicated. Cute plants: good. Visiting park: good. DOI forcing park to remain open for White House PR: bad. Partial government shutdown: bad. The wall: racist and stupid and very bad.

I’m at home with a cold on the last day of the year, which means time for self-reflection. 2018 was a tough one for me and I felt overworked and overwhelmed much of the time. In the end, though, I accomplished a lot, including finishing my thesis, making mountains of pottery, and completing a kitchen renovation with my partner Paul. I rarely had a whole weekend to take off, but I did a lot of sunset hikes and shared many beautiful moments with Paul and my friends. I’m looking forward to 2019, a year I intend to focus on being present with my loved ones and making art 💛

Roughing it made easy

I just added a few vases and other goodies to the site. All orders placed by Sunday will ship Monday, December 17, my Christmas delivery cut off. 🌲🌲 For a little extra holiday cheer use code CELEBRATE until then! 🌲🌲✨
