Many years ago, I bought this cute ceramic snowman for my Mom while on a bike ride. At the time I had just started taking my Beginning Wheel class. Fast forward to now… where I now own this guy after downsizing my Dad’s place…. and teaching pottery classes! My Monday night class was looking for a fun “challenge” project… something holiday… and something fun! So this guy served as the prototype for our challenge. Where they’re all making their own snowman in their own style. Tonight is the last class of our Fall session… so it’s also the big “Snowman Reveal.” I can’t wait to see what they’ve all come up with!!!

Last night in class, I surprised my class with trick-or-treat bags with goodies… complete with candy, pottery tools, Halloween toys & more… some even got little pieces of my pottery demos !!!

From this cute little Witch flying around Lillstreet thanks to some creative kids!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Celebrating a day full of costumes & candy… and showing off one of the biggest collections of my Ghouls!!! My friend Keith & Julie recently moved to Ohio… just in time to show-off their Ghouls Collection on their new fireplace mantle! Not quite all of them… as it looks like their missing the Skull, Frankenstein, Mummy & Vampire!

Does anyone out there have MORE Ghouls in their collection?…
Send me a photo if you do!!! – gary@firewhenreadypottery.com

Another festive group of Halloween cuties… just Martin & Christi showing off their Ghouls Collection!!! So much fun to see them hanging out in people’s homes for the holiday! Thanks guys!!!

What better way to celebrate NATIONAL CHOCOLATE DAY than finding that someone left you a big bag of M&M’s on your table?!

And it looks like I’m not the only one celebrating today… with a bowl full of holiday yumminess to celebrate NATIONAL CHOCOLATE DAY !!! Thanks for sharing Rosene!

While today we should all be celebrating NATIONAL PUMPKIN DAY… I might be so bold as to say that I’m more of fan of the under-rated gourd! Better colors, groovy textures & whimsical shapes!!! Long live the gourd… and when do we get a National Gourd Day?!

Another spooky trio on a chilly Fall afternoon.
Smirky smiles & whimsical ghouls! Thanks for sharing Kelly!

It’s been a great “run” of fun this birthday weekend… all pun intended… with special THANKS to everyone for the great Birthday Wishes yesterday to help celebrate the big day! After a Sunday run with bananas & Gatorade… I much prefer yesterday with huge cookies & ice cream!!!

It’s getting spooky out there… as another “Ghouls Collection” is making its annual appearance out in the ‘burbs! My friend Chris has quite a collection of my Halloween Ghouls… but seems to be missing two of them! She apparently missed out on the Limited Edition twice?!

Can anyone guess which two Ghouls she’s missing?!!!

And if you’ve got a nice collection of my Ghouls, please send me a photo so I can post yours here too! Thanks… gary@firewhenreadypottery.com
