Working on another batch of wheelthrown Christmas ornaments… throwing off-the-hump again. Waiting for these to dry-up just a bit before I stamp some patterns on them.

It’s early October… but it’s never too early to make another batch of holiday star ornaments, right?!

And while the pumpkins are “quick-dryingâ€â€¦ I decided I had time for a few more pieces of kiln filler. Just a quick batch of textured stars to become Christmas ornaments after soda firing this weekend! Never too soon, right?!



With the recent cold-spell & dusting of April snow, it seemed oddly appropriate to crank-out another batch of Christmas ornaments!!! I love making them… but I LOVE Summer more!!! I’m kinda done with the cold weather.


As part of last week’s class demo of “throwing-off-the-hump†we tackled a few Christmas ornaments. It’s never too soon, right?!

So much fun to see that one of my Christmas ornaments has found a place of honor (and glamour) in someone’s house. Apparently it’s become part of the BLING year-round!!! Thanks for sharing Jacob!

Just two hours left for today’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!
Still plenty of time & plenty of pottery to make plenty of presents!!!



Just a quick reminder.. there are plenty of wheelthrown ornaments available on my website! Perfect to help decorate your tree, to tie onto someone’s present… or after the holidays, hang in a window, suspend from the ceiling fan or add onto the chandelier!
