Some time last week…

Adding some accents of colored slip to my new batch of mugs this morning.
A little splash of color that will change in my next soda-kiln firing about a month from now!

Handles attached… mugs assembled! I’ll keep them under plastic overnight…
and then clean them up & add some accents of colored flashing slips
before I let them start drying!

Just finished a “quick” stamping session in my studio…
before heading downstairs to teach class!!!
More mugs… more stamps… more fun!!!

Wondering what to put on your new wall sconce-shelfy-thing?
Looks like Beth figured it out… “Put a bird on it.”

So this week in my “regular-non-Throwdown” classes, we focused on traditional lidded jars. After a bit of stamping, trimming & throwing knobs onto my lids… this trio of class demos is ready to dry!

Continuing the celebration of NATIONAL TILE DAY today!!! With another post… this time showing a commission piece I made for Diane & Jim over the past couple months. They brought in a cool wood-carved wall piece they had purchased during a vacation. They decided to augment it with some of my handmade tiles in the form of a ClayQuilt. We discussed some options… and we landed on this triptych design. With my pieces flanking their wood piece for a little more emphasis on their dining room wall. Along with their commissioned tiles… I also made a few “custom” tiles with some initials & significant dates “hidden” amongst the textures!!

Just some fun soda-fired colors to brighten this gray & dreary Thursday afternoon. Enjoy!

Stamped & handled… one step closer!
Coming along nicely with a deadline drawing near!!!

The large demo dinner plate needed some lovin’ too…
and some decorative stampin’ around the rim with that one handmade stamp!
