Looks like Molly has made the perfect pasta to fill one of my sgraffito carved bowls.
Little sauce. Little cheese. Lots of love. Thanks for sharing Molly!

One week from tonight… we head INTO THE WOODS.
Can’t wait…

Adding a little texture, pattern & design to a large platter… using one of my handmade clay stamps. Pressed into the rim of the platter one stamp at a time… one by one… by one… by one…

Last night in class, my Beginning Wheel students tackled their first cylinders with some trimming & handles to finish their first mugs!!! Not too shabby for Week 3… more fun to come!!! Well done team!

Just a few of my newest “hybrid” mugs fresh out of the soda kiln! Celebrating a little Texture Tuesday with these fun patterns created with hand rollers from MKM Pottery Tools. My “hybrid” mugs are a combination of wheelthrown & handbuilt parts & pieces… my newest obsession in mug-making!!!

THE SEARCH IS ON!!! Looks like the next new flavor of OREO’s has been announced. We all know I have the palate of a four-year old… so I’m ready for these!!! Now we just need to find them!!!

Soda-fired & highlighted in all the right places. Love how the unglazed surface caught the soda to create these details & highlights on this “hybrid” mug during my recent soda-firing!

Late night pear tree blooms in the evening glow of a streetlight… as I drive home from the studio after teaching class tonight. Quiet evening serenity & natural beauty.

Another serving bowl… Stamped. Spiraled. Soda-fired.

Celebrating a little MUGSHOT MONDAY with a pair of new “hybrid” mugs fresh out of my latest soda kiln. Loving this new texture from MKM Pottery Tools … and how the soda-firing process creates great colors & accents on the unglazed exterior!
