Looks like I’ve got more than a little glazing to do tonight… ugh… not my favorite part of the process! But I do LOVE the results… so I guess it’s worth it?!

Another batch of textured fortune cookies drying in my studio!

A quick batch of medium vases…
stamped & painted with colored flashing slips for my next soda kiln!

So we recently got a new slip color at Lillstreet.
RED… and not a rusty iron red, but a true holiday red!!!

I’ve used it a couple times with some of my Summer Campers… but never on my own work. So this is a test. I can’t wait to see if it does anything cool in the soda kiln. Might be nice, might not be… we’ll see in a couple weeks!

What better way to celebrate than with another batch of mugs freshly stamped, assembled & accents painted with colored flashing slips.

Stamped mugs getting a little lovin’ with some accents painted with colored flashing slip. If all goes well during the soda-firing, this slip will change to a smooth orange color with nice flashing effects.

Here we go again… more handles… more fun… making more MUGS!!! Always my favorite thing to make!!!

Just finished stamping, trimming & adding colored slip details to the lidded jars I started as part of a demo for my Intermediate Wheelthrowing class last week. Always feels good when everything fits together… and you set them aside to start drying!

I did a LOT of trimming today… mugs, vases, jars, etc. Could have been a tough day… but so much easier with some of my favorite studio tools! Loving my Giffin Grip & DiamondCore Tools … the perfect pairing to make trimming a joy!!!

Makes me LOVE TRIMMING even more!!!

Well, it was bound to happen.. another batch of textured picture frames as part of another upcoming collaboration with painter Mary Foster. We first introduced these collaboration pieces at ART IN THE GARDEN this summer… and kinda figured we should do it again for THE COZY COTTAGE POP-UP in November. She’s already got a head-start on her paintings… so I felt as though I had better get my act together too!
