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!!!

Just getting ready to pull some handles… again…

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!!!

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!!!
