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!!!

All handles attached… whew!!!…
another dozen mugs done & ready for drying, firing, glazing & firing again!

Most people hate making handles… pulling them, scoring, slipping & attaching them. I might be one of the few who LOVE making mugs! In fact, if I were only allowed to make one form for the rest of my pottery career… it would be MUGS!!!

More than ten pieces thrown before 10:00am… this time more wheelthrown holiday ornaments!!! Cute little “finial” ornaments thrown off-the-hump!

All stamped for some fun textural surface decoration. Fun places for the glaze to play with when they eventually get fired… in time for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!

Getting ready to add some stamped textures & patterns on these mugs! But the real question is “which” of the stamps should I use??? Too many choices as I have literally hundreds… maybe even thousands?.. of my own handmade stamps!!!

More than ten pieces wheelthrown before 10:00am… this time another batch of mugs in the works!!! These ones will be glazed… so I added some textured bands around the top for the glaze to puddle & pool in!!!

Looks like it’s time to get some glaze on! Everything is finally painted with underglaze… so now it’s time for a layer of clear glaze to make everything shiny & more vibrant.

My latest pumpkin patch is coming along nicely… after a couple hours in the studio “pumpkintizing” my smooth spheres. Grooves, warts, stems & leaves! All getting ready for ART IN THE BARN in a couple weeks!!!
