Cordyceps vs
pottery
The cordyceps mushroom controls its host's mind before fruiting from the host’s head or body. People also take it as a health supplement for energy and mental clarity. I’m totally inspired by that.
Hi, I'm Alyssa. I live in Oregon. Hiking here is a dream but yikes! Have you ever seen a banana slug?! Very big, also very inspiring.
I've been working with clay since I was a kid in New Jersey, Land of Diners. Only nestled in a diner booth are you are entirely safe from cordyceps. I've never seen a banana slug in there either.
I work out of my garage, as well as a community studio in Newberg, Oregon. I do a few events throughout the year. Because I'm obsessed with texture and feel--I spend hours carving texture into each piece--I prefer selling my pieces in person. They need to be felt and handled.
