Playing with porcelain again… making more of my favorite…
MORE MUGS!!!


My pottery class ROCKED it tonight!!!
It was only the second night of our new session… and they’ve already tackled
making MUGS!!! Thrown, trimmed and handles attached…
and ready to move on to bigger & better things next week!

Always fun to see when someone is loving their mugs enough to “proclaim” it loudly on INSTAGRAM. Thanks Ally… glad you guys are enjoying your new mugs in Colorado!!!

Today’s “FREEBIE” prize for keen eyes… the first person find this specific mug today during MUD & METAL and tells me they saw it on social media this morning gets it for FREE!!! No strings attached… just more fun for me!!! And possibly a free mug for YOU?!!!

We’re just 20 minutes away from the kick-off of
MUD & METAL : The Second Holiday Home Show!
And to celebrate today… anyone who takes a screen shot of this post
and presents it to me TODAY 12/15/18 at the Holiday Home Show
will get a FREE mug when the buy another one! BOGO limit one.
Special thanks to my friend Donnalee who shared this picture
of her own new mug in Alabama!!! Enjoy!!!

Sad story from a customer whose mug decided to break… gravity and all… and no longer holds her morning coffee. But it does make a nice home for her cactus! Innovative way to not “let go” of her favorite mug!!! Now we just need to get her one that will still hold her coffee!!!



See the crack running from top to bottom?!!! Look close… there’s a couple!

Well, the first batch of mugs are wrapped, packed & ready to head off to their new homes. Thanks again to everyone who shopped during the ST. NICK’S DAY ONLINE MUG SALE. Aren’t empty clay boxes the best?!!!

Celebrating MUGSHOT MONDAY by packing up a bunch of mugs which will be headed off to new homes tomorrow… thanks to the ST. NICK’S DAY ONLINE MUG SALE last Thursday. Loved this twosome that one savvy customer paired up during the sale!
And just for the record…
there are only four mugs left in the ST. NICK’S SALE until this Friday!
You still have time!!!

STARTING TOMORROW AT 7:00PM Central time!!!
ONLY ON MY FIRE WHEN READY POTTERY FACEBOOK PAGE!!!
MY ANNUAL ST. NICK’S ONLINE MUG SALE
So the plan is much like the last online sale…
I’m posting photos of all twenty mugs here on my blog. Both sides of each mug for comparison. Some are the same on both sides, while others have some dramatic flashing effects from the soda-kiln firing!
Then tomorrow Thursday, December 6th at 7:00pm CST, I will post the “official” Photo Album on my Facebook pottery page. Once posted on Facebook, it’s gonna be a first come, first served race to the end. The first person to post a “MINE” Comment on a photo in the Facebook Photo Album will “claim” their prize. The online sale will continue until midnight Friday, December 14th.
Feel free to post comments here on the mugs, but keep in mind that ONLY the first person to Comment on Facebook will get the mug! Use this blog posting as your “window shopping” opportunity before the store opens!
Each mug is priced at $50 which includes shipping & handling (within the contiguous US please.) And remember, that all mugs are handmade and one-of-a-kind. As well as food-safe, dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe… just not gravity-safe!

Here’s a quick peek at the mugs that will be going up for sale this Thursday, December 6th to celebrate St. Nick’s Day. I will post better photos here on my blog tonight so you can see both sides of each mug. But then tomorrow night at 7:00pm Central I will open up the sale on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page. It will be first-come, first-claimed. Feel free to comment on these photos, but don’t even try to claim them ahead of time. Have fun looking, choose your favorites, and then shop on Facebook Thursday evening to snatch-up your mug.
So remember, there’s no pre-sale calling of dibs. No “claiming†of the mugs ahead of time here on the website. Only the Facebook Comments to claim them starting Thursday evening after I place the official sale kick-off on Facebook,
More details to come… but in the meantime, click here for my Facebook page and hit FOLLOW… so you’re all ready to go TOMORROW!!!
