Porcelain vases thrown this morning & already moving on to the stamping phase.
I love a good productive day in the studio!

After a bit of detailing with colored flashing slips, these ornaments are now drying
and ready for a bisque kiln. They will then be carefully propped-up on a little
handmade tripods in the soda kiln.

Not bad for a little early morning production!

Cory’s pulling it all together and making things happen!!! One step closer
to our collaboration coming together for ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend!!!

Looks like Cory McCrory has yet another trick up her sleeve… as if she weren’t busy enough… she’s “upping” the cute factor of our collaboration project and pushing it over the top!!! Can’t wait to see where this takes us…

And now it looks like I have some more trimming to do… a LOT of trimming…
but that’s the easy part. For after trimming… comes handles!!!

Finished trimming & assembling another batch of ornaments…
now just need to do a little more detailing with colored flashing slips
before they get soda-fired!

HAPPY LABOR DAY! Anyone else already “laboring” in their studio today??? I’ve already done a bit of stamping… shocking, I know!!! But trying to get a lot done quickly… so I can get outside to play on my bike… again… this afternoon!!!

Also threw a new batch of round discs tonight…
soon to be stamped, slip painted and soda-fired. If all goes well,
these will be ready for ART IN THE BARN as ikebana flower vases!
