Spent a lot of this afternoon photographing more pieces…
in my kitchen with my little photo booth set-up!

I’m thinking that since this coming weekend “would have been” another art fair weekend… so instead maybe I should post more pieces for another online sale on my Fire When Ready Facebook page?! More details to come…

And speaking of MUGSHOT MONDAY… just showing off two new mugs for my “already-overflowing” Mug Collection! Beautiful mugs & glazing effects by Steven Showalter in Minnesota! I’ve admired his work for years… his techniques, his teachings and his willingness to share everything online! We’ve never met, but it seems like I know him already thanks to social media! And you should too… look him up on Facebook or Instagram… his work is AMAZING!!!

Just celebrating another MUGSHOT MONDAY with this sweet stamped & soda-fired mug!

Just a quick reminder that there are still some beautiful mugs available
in my MEMORIAL DAY MUG SALE! Just click on the link below in the Comments section to see the Photo Album of mugs here on Facebook… some still available, some already claimed!!!

Click here to go straight to the Photo Album & info on my Facebook Page!

Well, this weekend was “supposed to be” the Schaumburg Prairie Arts Festival… which was of course CANCELLED due to all of this corona-craziness! Sadly, no art fairs this weekend! So I’m going online with a new “socially distant” set of mugs from A to Z!!!

So I”m hosting an online sale only on my Fire When Ready Pottery FACEBOOK PAGE! Same as usual… the first person to claim a mug in the Facebook Photo Album by putting “MINE” in the Comments section of each mug photo will get that mug! I’ve also added the “back side” of each mug in the inset photo so you can picture it better as some of them have dramatic flashing effects. I will then follow with a message & shipping details. Each mug is food-safe, dishwasher-safe and $55… which includes packing & shipping with the continuous US.

So start shopping on Facebook… although I know it’s NOT the same as shopping in person at the art fair! I am already missing all of your friendly faces, chatting with everyone & hanging outside with all of my art fair friends!

Hopefully we’ll get to squeeze in one or two actual art fairs a bit later in the summer season?! Until then, stay safe, stay healthy and pretend this is an art fair ONLINE!!! Thanks!

Here’s the selection of mugs… but remember…
you can ONLY claim them on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page!!!

More MUGS for Memorial Day Weekend… coming soon in a “flash online sale” to a Facebook page near you!!! Details very soon… quite possibly at 10:30am this morning… just sayin’…

So I finally got “focused” tonight in the studio and started waxing the bottoms of a bunch of pots. I was kinda surprised… there were a lot more than I remembered making?! But they all look like mine…. so… I’ll keep waxing in preparation for a couple LONG glazing sessions to come!

Celebrating another MUGSHOT MONDAY with a few more mugs!
All stamped, soda-fired and ready to go!!!

So if you’re ever looking for a new mug… or bowl, vase, pitcher & more… you can now shop online here on my website! Click on “Online Pottery Shopping” in the top right hand corner!

My studio plan was to do a bunch of glazing tonight… or at least waxing all of the bottoms… well, THAT didn’t quite happen! They’re still all under wraps to keep the dust from getting on them! Maybe tomorrow will be better. Somehow I got sidetracked on a bunch of other little studio projects?!

And another Mugshot Monday from down south in West Palm Beach… where the weather is apparently warmer, and the quarantine obviously more glamorous than MINE!!! Thanks for sharing your mug & mugshot with all of us Margaret!!!

If you want to make your quarantine a little more glamorous, remember you can now shop online here on my website. You can either click HERE… or click on the “Online Pottery Shopping” in the top right corner tab!
