My latest production round was a group of “rounds”… the top part of ikebana vases coming together. Stepping it up so that I’m ready when the Spring flowers start popping up… just some positive thinking… or, wishful thinking!!!

A bit more detail of my newest batch of mugs…
stamped, assembled, handled & now ready to dry…
and then off to a bisque kiln some time soon!

Just another night of stamping tonight on this batch of mug cylinders using my own handmade clay stamps. Hoping tomorrow I can trim & get handles attached to all of them!

Christmas may be over… but the holiday vibes are still in full gear over at Tiffany’s place with her new Christmas Tree mug!!! Thanks for keeping the holiday spirit goin’ Tiffany!!!

After the hectic holidays, it feels great to be back in the studio…
getting back into the swing of things.

A simple dinner plate, now with a stamped rim to make it not-so-simple!

Here’s a beautiful arrangement of flowers with purples & pinks to go along with a new “aubergine” stamped vase… a special holiday gift from Dad. Now honoring Grandma’s memory with a collection of her favorite flowers. Thanks for sharing Allison!

Welcome to 2025!!!
Hard to believe that another year has passed. Yet I’d like to thank everyone for making 2024 my most successful “pottery year” ever! The undying commitment, support & encouragement of my friends, family & Followers really keeps me going. I’m looking forward to the New Year with a few “new” ideas in mind. Time to get back in the studio, time to start teaching again, time to start planning my calendar & time get back into the swing of things! Looking forward to another fun & successful year!

Thanks to everyone who came to my place for a little holiday shopping today! I figured I would make one of my Mom’s favorite treats… Pumpkin Squares with Cream Cheese Frosting. She made them few times for my holiday shows, so I thought it would a nice touch to do it again in her honor!!!

Don’t worry… I have another pan of them ready for tomorrow’s shoppers too!!!

Fresh from the kiln… ready for this weekend!!!
