Another bright green platter fresh out of my latest cone six kiln. I love how the vibrant green glaze puddles & pools in all the right places. And how it accentuates the stamped patterns exactly as I want them to be!

My studio cart was filled with glazed & wadded pots… ready for a soda-firing!
We all made it safely downstairs in the rickety freight elevator.
Thanks to some masking tape “seat belts” to keep pots from bouncing off
the shelves during the journey downstairs!

One last kiln to unload before this weekend’s pottery sale!
Just in time for my SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!
C’mon by!!!

Here’s one of my class demos on carving & surface decoration that I finally got around to glazing… been a while. The platter has white slip on the flange rim that I dried a bit before carving the leaf pattern. And then I added little “berries” using a darker clay body. A rich green glaze makes it perfect for the holidays! Kinda now wish I had carved holly leaves instead?… ah, next time!!!

Anyway… this platter will be there for one lucky customer this weekend
at my SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!

Fresh out of the kiln… a batch of fun colored mugs for another Mugshot Monday!!! Each & every one will be at my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend!!! Along with a few more… as we’ll be starting out with over a hundred mugs when the doors open Saturday morning!!!

Just a little more festive flair to make the holiday shine brighter! There’s a selection of mixed metallics… silver, gold & copper! And some trees with no stars for the “nature purists” out there!!!

It’s gonna be a late Friday night of glazing… just trying to squeeze in
a couple last-minute firings before next weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW.

Finally all glazed & going into the kiln! I always find it funny that this crazy “mint ice cream” green glaze somehow turns clear in the firing?! Feels good to have them “safely” in the kiln… one step closer to getting them done… and one HUGE step towards getting them all to ART IN THE BARN this weekend!!!

Looks like it’s time to get some glaze on! Everything is finally painted with underglaze… so now it’s time for a layer of clear glaze to make everything shiny & more vibrant.
