All glazed… kiln loaded… here we go!!! Look at me.
Practically ahead of schedule?!!! HA!!!

Perhaps my cutest “Ghoul” in the collection?!

And as the eighteenth member of the collection, that’s saying a lot. I’m totally enamored with the pops of color & how each one is looking different! Might make choosing the “right one” tough for some people this weekend at ART IN THE BARN!!!

That is… if I can get them in a kiln soon enough…

Another big glazing day!!! As I need to load tomorrow so I can fire the soda kiln this Saturday! It’s been crazy busy making enough work to fill the whole kiln… with some new work for ART IN THE GARDEN… followed by ART IN THE BARN!!! Since these pieces are being soda-fired, it’s mostly liner glazes & inlaid glazes for the stamped impressions! Lots to do still… giddy-up!

Another 10×10 Challenge… but does it count when they’re just mini’s???

Colored slip accents painted in an assortment of colors!
Can’t wait to get these through the soda kiln so I can get them to my friend Maria
for the second part of our special holiday “collaboration“ project.
Looking forward to some limited edition fun… only for my Holiday Home Shows!!!

Almost forgot to trim the bottoms!!!
So much faster with my favorite Giffin Grip & DiamondCore Tools!!!

After summer camp today, I zoomed home to work in my basement prepping & pricing new pots for this weekend at the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR. Lots of mugs waiting to be priced… but honestly, I kinda got distracted & sidetracked by cleaning out the basement a bit. Felt good to clean, organize & get rid of things I haven’t used for years. Pricing can happen tomorrow, right?… because now I’m off to the studio to teach class again tonight!

Glazing & wadding finally done… masking tape “seat belts” in place for the ride down the rickety freight elevator. One step closer to loading… one step closer to closing the kiln door… one step closer to bed!!!

The first table full of pots has been inlaid, liner-glazed & wiped clean. Now to start wadding everything… and then moving onto refilling the table with more bisqued pots to start the process all over again. It’s gonna be a late night!!!
