This past Tuesday in my Beginning Wheel class, we tackled making “bowls on purpose, instead of cylinders gone bad.” So I showed them the basics of how to get a nice smooth curve inside their bowls. And then while they practiced, I made “a few” more! Just one bag of clay… getting ready for Part Two of the night’s “not-so-basic-bowl” demo!!!

Celebrating another yummy holiday… late night snacks tonight for NATIONAL HOMEMADE COOKIE DAY!!! Special thanks to Christine for making these yummy pumpkin spice oatmeal chocolate cookies for our pottery class last night!!!

Gotta love when one of your art fair friends brings homegrown tomatoes to share for a lunchtime snack!!! Just wish I had a bowl to put them in… oh, wait a minute… I think I do!!! Thanks Cheryl for sharing… and if you come to The Barn, she’s directly above me with her beautiful mixed-media paintings!

Just a little snack before teaching class tonight… you know how I love a good holiday!
Just celebrating NATIONAL GUACAMOLE DAY… yum!!!

Looks like Matthew has pulled together some Friday night fun… hot fudge sundaes with a smattering of blueberries & walnuts!!! And the stamped purple bowls are trying their best to “hide” the fact that there is NOT enough hot fudge… am I right Kristy?!!!

Last night in my Beginning Wheel class, we did another “trading-exchanging-stealing game” to celebrate our last class of the session… with a category of “Not-So-Basic Bowls.” After several rounds, I came away with this cutie by Allison. Underglaze dots… and a beautiful crazy-crazed clear glaze! Lillstreet has been reformulating some of their glazes… and I think this was made with one of the test batches!

No scurvy here… just some large clementines in a stamped & glazed bowl. Loving the color combination of the orange & green together!

After a full day of Summer Camp… followed by an evening in my studio… I felt that I “deserved” to celebrate NATIONAL HOT FUDGE SUNDAE DAY when I got home!!! … burp.

Kristy sent me a picture of her breakfast this morning… some vibrant fresh tabbouleh salad. Not my first choice for “breakfast”… un, waffles?!… but it does look pretty yummy in a fun stamped aubergine bowl. Thanks for the photo Kristy!

You gotta love when one of your art fair “besties” brings you a little chocolate-covered yumminess to help make the art fair day even better! Thanks Rhonda… you know me too well!!! Ha!
