Doing a little glaze inlay into the stamped impressions on a bunch of mugs! I’m filling the stamps with a tenmoku glaze, and then wiping off the “top” surface so the glaze only stays in the texture impressions.

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!!!
