Spent a little time in the studio this afternoon “finishing up” some of my recent class demo pieces. This was a request from my Intermediate Class to make a large two-part stacked piece. Kelly requested a planter… but I kinda think this landed somewhere “between” planter & vase?! I stuck with planter… and added drainage holes and threw a water trip tray today to go with it.

Well, the weekend is finally getting here…. as is SPRING!!! So it’s perfect timing for the PLANTS & POTTERY POP-UP SALE!

Okay, so one orchid has a nice handmade & stamped flower pot…
the other one doesn’t. You decide!

Looks like Rosene’s orchid is very happy!
Looks like Matthew needs a better flower pot!

Did some late-night studio work this evening… adding some underglaze accents to this latest batch of terra cotta flower pots. Just gotta wipe off the surface… leaving the underglaze only in the stamps, and then a bit of clear liner glaze! Hoping to get these all done & ready for next weekend’s PLANTS & POTTERY POP-UP!!!

Just trying to crank out one last batch of flower pots for next weekend’s PLANTS & POTTERY POP-UP down near Peoria on 5/13 & 5/14. The terra cotta pots are made, but now I need to tackle the drip plates!
