Looks like my friend Allison is enjoying some veggies straight from the garden.
They look amazingly fresh & colorful… especially in a stamped & soda-fired berry bowl…
if I do say so myself!!!


Looks like my friend Tom Wheeler has been busy in his woodworking studio again!!! Crafting this beautiful side table out of donated pieces of black walnut & red oak. So beautiful… loving the joinery… and so proud to be the chosen “prop” to sit on the table for the photo shoot!!!
Especially since his wife Nancy also makes pottery… and some of you may have met her as an occasional “cashier” at my Holiday Home Show! A very talented couple!!!





A handful of sweet blueberries in a sweet little blue bowl for another Blue Monday!
Thanks for sharing Kristy!

Looks like Matthew has been making some yummy breakfast bowls up in Steven’s Point!
Thanks for sharing Kristy!!!

Food always tastes better in handmade pottery!
EVEN SALADS!!!
Thanks for sharing Kristy… and enjoy your tasty salad!!!

Sweet little strawberries in a sweet little bowl on a sweet little Sunday morning.
Thanks for sharing Kristy!


After summer camp today, I had one more leatherhard bowl in the studio to carve. So I did a quick sgraffito session with my favorite carving tool from DiamondCore Tools… carving through the layer of white slip to reveal a design & the clay body contrast!!!





After kayaking today, I made a quick stop into the studio to carve another sgraffito bowl… one of last Tuesday night’s demo bowls. It took awhile for it to dry to leatherhard after adding a layer of wet slip in the interior. But I knew it would be ready today… so I did a quick sgraffito session with my favorite carving tool from DiamondCore Tools !!!




A little stamping fun after camp today. Tackling my class demo bowls from Tuesday night. Making my “not-so-basic bowls” even better… as you know, MORE IS MORE!!!
