Spent the night in my studio tonight playing with some new shapes for new mugs.
Of course some stamping, trimming, refining & handles will make a world of difference.
We’ll see where these go from here…

Spent the evening waxing bottoms of some new porcelain pieces
as I’m pulling together another kiln firing just in time for my
Second Holiday Home Show in Saturday, December 12th.

A quick layer loaded into a bisque kiln.
Rapid replenishment for my Second Holiday Home Show on Saturday, December 12th.

Thrown & stamped Saturday… Trimmed & handled Sunday… Drying & into a kiln Monday.

The latest batch of porcelain mugs… trimmed & handled yesterday. A few small bowls too!
Drying today. Anxious for the kiln.

Not a bad evening in the studio. Some quick porcelain cups thrown & stamped.
I’m hoping to trim and add some handles tomorrow!!!

Still glazing & highlighting some textures with a temoku glaze inlay.
Lots of squares… a little something new in the works in the studio.

One of my students just stopped by with a sweet treat to make my Glazing Day go better. So festive now with peppermint & ornaments!!! Thank you Catherine.

Still glazing. Still wadding. Working towards loading my soda kiln later this evening. Still a lot of things to glaze… it’s gonna be another late night!!!

Loading another bisque kiln… rushing to get everything done in time for my soda kiln. So much so that some of the pieces going in are still a bit damp. Not bone dry as they’re “supposed” to be. Fingers crossed…

Layer #1 – LOTS of mugs… filled with LOTS of ornaments!!!

Layer #2 – More mugs, ovals, and spoons.

Layer #3 – My new wall medallions… and some new wall blocks.

Layer #4 – More of my spoons resting inside a large box by one of my studio neighbors!

Layer #5 – Two bowls and a LOT of new wall blocks… a little wetter than I would like.

Trying on the edges… but still a little wetter than they “should” be. Oh well…
I’m pretty confident that they’ll survive the firing. They’re well made, hollow and as dry as they can be… so here we go!!!

Working on another batch of spoons for the Holiday Home Show. They still need some refining, smoothing & colored slip accents. Then they”ll dry for the bisque kiln… and then into my all-too-quickly-approaching soda kiln!
