Mimi got a new berry bowl…
and quickly added it to her pottery collection!

Then quickly filled it with strawberries, raspberries & blackberries! And the quickly shared it with me… so I of course will share it with YOU!!! Thanks Sharon.

Pretty Fall colors & yummy sliced berries in their new handmade berry bowl! Such a colorful & pretty display… and healthy too!!! Thanks for sharing Trish!!!

With the temperatures falling, feels like Fall is here in full force… and it’s time for thick yummy soups! Even yummier when served in handmade pottery! A stamped & soda-fired bowl… and a “vintage” mug from before I started stamping!!! Looking good Rosene!

Looks like Matthew has some new display shelves in the kitchen to show off his ever-growing pottery collection. Beautiful. And sure, there may be a few other bowls & bottles… but I’ve already told him those silver nesting bowls can EASILY stack-up when he adds more of my pottery to his collection!!!

Last night in my wheel class, Katie one of my Advanced Beginners continued her exploration marbled clay. She started with standard colors like marbling ochre stoneware with lighter B-clay. She loved the finished results… and now has stepped up her game with stained porcelain!!! Looking great… even though there’s still a little bit of cleaning up to do!

Sure, I could have left this bowl with the simple ombre colors gradating from blue to orange… but MORE IS MORE, right?! So I decided to do a little carving through the colored slip with my DiamondCore Tools instead!

Huh?… who knew that I would “match” my bowl so well today?! A couple colored slips from last week’s class demo… and an ice-dyed shirt from quarantine… finally get to meet!

Loving the shadows coming through this berry bowl and splashing across the table. Brightly colored glaze playing in the sun. If you happen to need a berry bowl… there are still some available in My Online Pottery Shop. Click here to start shopping!

Another bisque kiln was unloaded this morning… and it had the sixteen “not-so-basic-bowls” from last week’s class demo in it. So here they are… including the basket I added a handle to. So now it looks like I’ve got a bit of glazing to do?!!!

Ugh. My least favorite part.

Back by popular demand… one of my Intermediate Wheel students saw my photos from the bowl demo I did last week for my Beginners on Instagram. She asked if they could see some of the not-so-basic-bowl “tricks” in her class. And who am I to say “no”??? So we did it again… but this time only nine, not the full sixteen!
