Early morning mugs!
Playing with porcelain adding handles this morning!

Another large stamped platter and the tools that did “most’ of the work.
Sure, it’s a LOT of individual impressions one after another…
but the final result is pretty darn cool.





Another batch of Christmas ornaments in the making.
Only 70 days until Christmas… I’m just sayin’!!!

My latest batch of mugs on this Mugshot Monday… ready to dry, bisque, glaze and soda-fire!



Adding some colored flashing slip accents on my latest batch of mugs on this Mugshot Monday!


Adding a band of black slip onto a couple of white porcelain platters.
Sgraffito coming soon!


Playing with porcelain. More mugs coming soon!


I just finished adding handles onto my 27 mugs!!!
And Jacob is still running his 26.2 miles.
Okay… so he’s mere minutes from finishing his first Chicago Marathon.
HUGE CONGRATS JACOB!!!
But I still think I won… not that I’m at all competitive?!








Just finished pulling my handles. So while one of my pottery students is downtown running his first Chicago Marathon, I’ll be in the studio doing my own little Mug Marathon!!! Attaching handles to mugs as Jacob runs on!!! He’s almost halfway… who will finish their Marathon first??? He’s got twenty-six miles… and I’ve got twenty-seven mugs! Seems fair, right?! Run Jacob Run!!!

Getting ready to make some mug handles on this early Sunday morning!
