Looks like there was some yummy Christmas morning brunch happening down in central Illinois yesterday. Yummy monkey bread with fruit & coffee… all in some fun holiday pottery!!! Thanks for sharing your morning moments with us Allyn!

Just a little something-something for our family Christmas get-together.
A little chocolate, a few cherries & a lot of cheesecake!
Homemade food always tastes better on handmade pottery!

Merry Christmas everyone… hope you’re enjoying your festivities today!

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season…. filled with family, friends & festivities!
A great time to relax & appreciate all of your “gifts” the whole year through.
A huge Thank You to all of you for being so faithful, encouraging & supportive
throughout the year. You guys are the BEST!!!

Merry Christmas to you ALL!!!

Last minute touches… cheery cherries being added one-at-a-time
to today’s dessert headed to our family Christmas get-together!

Looks like an amazing “invasion” of giant pastries down in Peoria!
Gotta love a good perspective shot… on a green stamped plate!!!
Thanks Matthew & team for the early morning photos!!!

Just another stamped platter ready for this weekend’s pottery sale…
perfect in a bright holiday green!!! Just looking for some Christmas cookies on top!!!

Another class demo piece “finally” getting glazed. Carved decorations around the flange rim on this dinner plate. Going into the kiln… and coming out just in time for this weekend’s SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW! Hope it turns out okay?!

Here’s one of my class demos on carving & surface decoration that I finally got around to glazing… been a while. The platter has white slip on the flange rim that I dried a bit before carving the leaf pattern. And then I added little “berries” using a darker clay body. A rich green glaze makes it perfect for the holidays! Kinda now wish I had carved holly leaves instead?… ah, next time!!!

Anyway… this platter will be there for one lucky customer this weekend
at my SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!
