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!

One dozen done… got another dozen to go!!!

A quick round of throwing more mugs… as well as loading a bisque kiln…
