Beautifully scented lilacs in a handmade, hand-stamped & soda-fired vase.
The Spring flowers are so short-lived, enjoy them while you can!




Ornaments drying after adding handbuilt tops & some flashing slip accents…
which will hopefully be a smooth buttery-yellow after soda-firing.

Another batch of mini’s. Small vases with even smaller stamps!!!

Stamped, squished, slip-painted and ready to start drying!
Soon to be soap dispensers after a good soda-firing!
And if you want to see them spin… just ‘cuz they can…

After last Tuesday night’s bowl demo, I had a table full of bowls to continue working on.
Sure, I could have left them as they were…. but why would I do that?!
Instead, I did a bit of stamping, texturing and detailing. So now my “not-so-basic-bowls”
are even less basic than they were after the throwing demo in class.












I love when my friendly customers share their Fire When Ready Pottery on Instagram. It’s so great to see your work being loved & used… especially on a cloudy & rainy day like today! Thanks for sharing Allison!


At least the shamrocks in my kitchen window are enjoying the sun today… while I’m “trapped inside” without my bike AND doing my taxes today. A double whammy!!! Maybe being without my bike will be a “good thing” when it comes to getting my taxes done???… hmmm?… but I do still have running shoes!


Working on a little something new in the studio tonight.
Sure, I could’ve tried making just one.. but that’s not nearly as much “fun”
as trying something new with twelve!

Stamped & soda-fired… just in time for another Mugshot Monday!
