Tiny textured nuggets… now in fun colors!!!
Can’t wait for “my plan” to come together later this summer…

While I’m in the middle of making my “normal” stamped mugs for a future soda-firing… I need to remind myself that it’s time to make more of these “hybrid” mugs too!!! My collection of carved handrollers from MKM Pottery Tools has recently “doubled” & I can’t wait to try out some of their newest patterns while making more of these wheelthrown & handbuilt combo “hybrid” mugs!

Been busy stamping cylinders again… getting ready for another batch of mugs! My favorite thing to make! Each one stamped with a different clay stamp that I made myself. Handmade mugs need handmade stamps!!!

Made a few more textured “nuggets” tonight. Watching the finale of The Traitors UK season three… while my nimble fingers keep making more!!! I’ve got a fun little plan for these…

A cold & rainy Sunday perfect for some repetitive stamping. Decorating another platter with one handmade stamp pressed in one by one… by one… by one…

Just a little “quick stamping” in my studio before heading downstairs to teach again tonight!!!

Stamped & handled… fresh out of a bisque kiln!!!

A quick peek at my new textured tiles in rusty metal frames for the “4×4” gallery show. Handmade & soda-fired tiles. A perfect combo in my world… you know how much I love textured AND rusty metal!!!

With tons of textured, inlaid glazes, sprayed glazes & soda-firing effects… these “tiles” were all wired together to create my newest “tile tapestry.” Now hanging at the “4×4 : FOUR MAKERS” show this weekend. Lots of details & textures to see & feel… you’ll notice something new every time you see it!

And once again, a shout-out to MKM Pottery Tools for making textured handrollers with such a wide range of textures & patterns! Love ’em!!!

And a few close-up shots so you can see a few of the details, textures & bling!!!
Shades of blue… hence the theme… “Interpretations of Blue.”
