Looks like Allyn is enjoying her new Valentine’s Day gift! A texured & soda-fired hybrid mug purchased by her loving husband in time for the big day! And in time for today’s Mugshot Monday!

Just another batch of hybrid mugs done & drying… waiting for a bisque kiln some time soon!

Celebrating a little “Blue Monday” in the studio…
adding some colored slip accents to another batch of mugs.
Also fun for another Mugshot Monday!!!

Just getting ready for a fun studio evening!
Handles are pulled & the Olympic Opening Ceremonies are about to begin!!!
Giddy-up Milan… show us what you’ve got!!!

Playing in the studio adding handles again.
Kinda digging this new mug shape so far.
Fingers crossed…

Nothing says “it’s another freezing cold Monday morning”
than a bit of overflowing hot chocolate to celebrate another Mugshot Monday!
Thanks for sharing Kim… enjoy & stay warm!!!

Another chilly morning… another 10×10 Challenge! It’s warm enough in the studio this morning for another productive morning of wheelthrowing… making more than ten before 10:00am! This time embracing a new mug shape. Sure, I could’ve made “one” prototype to see how it works… but that just not my style! Here we go… full-speed ahead!!!

One last thing before they dry… I added a layer of colored flashing slip to my batch of hybrid mugs. At some point, these mugs will be soda-fired so they should change to shades of oranges & yellows during the atmospheric firing.

After an afternoon of attaching handles… I now have a new batch of hybrid mugs.
And all of them with the popular coneflower pattern from a MKM Pottery Tools handroller.

Handles pulled & resting… well, setting up & firming a bit before I start attaching them to make more mugs! I like to loop them over & stand them up so they can “stiffen” a bit with a good curve already established before attaching.
