More queer ass pottery coming yer way!!! 🌈 💅

These @hales.tattoos pride collab pieces are restocked on the website! I got ~many~ messages about the pride Snoopy dishes, so I’m keeping my promise and putting a few back up for grabs… and maybe there will be more in the future 👀

Kinda wild to just now realize this, but we’ve added over 90 new items to the shop. Between collab pieces, floral + buggy bolo ties, wall hangers, fantasy-themed items… there’s A LOT to check out! Shop link in bio 💫💛

THIS SATURDAY 💪💋 LESBIAN ARM WRESTLING IS TAKING OVER GODFREY’S 😤🤼‍♀️

Think you’ve got what it takes? Come throw down, cheer on your favorite competitors, enjoy drag king performances, win ridiculous gag prizes, and dance with us afterward. ❤️‍🔥

💪 OPEN SIGN UPS — NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY 😏
18+ with ID
Doors open at 8 PM
Sign ups from 8:30–9:30 PM
Arm wrestling begins at 10 PM

Competitors will be divided into three brackets: Featherweight, Lightweight & Heavyweight. There are LIMITED slots, so come early! Costumes and singlets WELCOME.

Drag kings will perform between each bracket, and our winners will walk away with bragging rights and some truly prestigious (read: ridiculous) gag prizes. 🏆

Then at 11 PM, we’re clearing the tables and turning it into a DANCE PARTY until 2 AM. 💃🕺🪩

🎟️ $12 at the door

❤️ $2 from every ticket will benefit the @sacredheartcenter_rva, which connects immigrant and Latino families with resources, education, and support.

Come wrestle. Come watch. Come tip the kings. Come dance. ALL are welcome to spectate.

Tag the lesbian you think could absolutely destroy you at arm wrestling. 💪🏳️‍🌈

The first shop update of 2026 is finally here! 🎉

I definitely didn’t anticipate it to take this long, but the past few months have unfolded in unexpected ways. It’s been nice to focus on in-person events, giving myself room to slow down and experiment in the studio, but I’m happy to have offerings on the website again

This release has a little bit of everything, but I especially want to highlight the limited @hales.tattoos pride collection! 🌈 I’ll be making more of those pieces for an August release that includes a few really exciting collaborations (more on that soon 👀)

You’ll also find mugs, trinket + ring dishes, bolo ties, incense burners, moon phase garlands, earrings and more

The shop update goes live on 7/5 at 7 PM ET for everyone, but newsletter subscribers get early access at 6 p.m. ET. The link’s in bio if you wanna sign up, and I’ll be sharing a countdown reminder in stories! 💗

Happy pride y’all!! 🌈✨ My personal gay agenda is spreading queer ass pottery far and wide. For the occasion, @hales.tattoos and I cooked up a special collab collection, and tonight is its official debut at @dykehangrva . Come say hi, celebrate pride and help us get more gay ceramics out into the world 💅🏳️‍🌈
