Just finished waxing a LOT of bottoms… getting ready to do some glazing. I hoping to get all of this… most of this?… some of this???… glazed & fired before this weekend’s SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!! A bit of quick replenishing goin’ on here!!!

It’s gonna be a late Friday night of glazing… just trying to squeeze in
a couple last-minute firings before next weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW.


Another forest. Another productive morning! Just another batch of Christmas trees for my Holiday home Show… coming soon… very soon!!! Just a week & a half away!!!

Score, slip attach, repeat… repeat… repeat…
Handles attached so I now have a group of new holiday mugs!!!
Cute now, but surely some colored slip accents will really make them festive!

Some people hate making mugs because they hate pulling handles. NOT ME!!! Mugs are actually my favorite thing to make… and I kinda dig pulling handles too!!!

Another batch of mugs in the making… this time with a NEW festive holiday flair!!! A very Limited Edition… hopefully just in time for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW coming soon!!!


A new “forest” of Christmas Trees has been growing in my studio lately. Now with stars on the tops of some of them… this batch is ready to dry, bisque, glaze & fire again. Still a few steps to cover before they’re ready for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW on November 22nd & 23rd. Mark your calendars…

Ten pieces thrown before 10:00am. This time another batch of what will become soap dispensers!

Just finished making a batch of textured stars… in the damp box…
waiting to “top things off” coming soon!!!
