Let the trimming begin!!!…
and have I mentioned lately that I LOVE trimming?! Yep, I do.

All wedged up… no more green… one bag of reclaimed porcelain already turned into wheelthrown cylinders. Under wraps for the night… might just get some stamping done tomorrow! Maybe.

Tools of the trade. Love my Bison tools for trimming…
and my MudTools rib for smoothing & burnishing!

Just a little early-morning trimming to start the day!


Just doing a little early morning glazing…
yes, on a “different†set of mugs than the ones I finished making last night!



Another night… another two dozen mugs!!!
Happy Mugshot Monday… making my favorites!!!
Now just for a little clean-up & colored slip accents tomorrow.






Score… slip… attach… repeat… repeat… repeat…

Let the handle attachments commence… round two for tonight…
making mugs out of cylinders!!!

Just pulled another batch of handles…
I’m in the middle of a long night of adding handles to make mugs!
One dozen done… got another dozen to go!!!

A quick round of throwing more mugs… as well as loading a bisque kiln…
and then sub-teaching Lisa Harris’ class. Already got a lot done…
and the day is still young!!!
