Just a little morning stamping session… adding a few impressed patterns & textures into the simple porcelain cups! Many of which “might” just turn into mugs fairly soon… allegedly…
All wedged up… no more green… one bag of reclaimed porcelain already turned into wheelthrown cylinders. Under wraps for the night… might just get some stamping done tomorrow! Maybe.
Well, it looks like I’ve got some rather “ripe” porcelain reclaim clay piling up here in my studio. Nice & green… who knows… mold?… algae?… could be full-on seaweed at this point?! Either way, it’s going to wedge up great and all of that “bonus” color will burn away in the bisque firing.
FREE RECLAIM CLAY is always good… regardless of the color!!!

coming up for sale tonight at 8:00pm central here on my pottery Facebook page!
Just over three hours until the sale goes LIVE!!!
Well lookey here… look what I just brought home from the studio!!! Just in time for tomorrow’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. Sure, most people do sgraffito’d porcelain in black & white… but I think color is more fun!!! Limited quantities… these might go fast?!!!
Here’s a little bit better look at my new platters as they were coming out of the kiln… in fact, some of the shots are actually of them still IN the kiln!!! It’s gonna be first-come-first-served tomorrow morning at my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!
Right on schedule… out of the bisque, still black & white… but then glazed and right back into another kiln. When they come back out they will be assorted shades of greens, blues and browns!!! Still on track to have them all ready for this weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!
Two views of each of the final sgraffito porcelain platters for the day. I told myself that whatever I could finish “today” could still get through the process and make it to my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW next weekend. They may still be warm, but… and now I’m done! For now.
