Stamped & slip painted… a new batch of wheelthrown ornaments ready to dry & fire.

Getting ready for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW just three weeks away!!!
Mark your calendars… November 22nd & 23rd.

All handles attached… whew!!!…
another dozen mugs done & ready for drying, firing, glazing & firing again!

Just a little early morning stamping in the studio!
Some sweet little bowls… now even sweeter with some textured patterns!

All stamped for some fun textural surface decoration. Fun places for the glaze to play with when they eventually get fired… in time for my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!

We had a beautiful Fall weekend a couple days ago. Perfect for a roadtrip weekend down to Peoria to visit with friends. Oh yeah… and to re-visit the stamped & soda-fired totem pole in their front yard!! Look familiar???

So I did a little roadtrip up to Appleton, Wisconsin yesterday to drop-off some hybrid mugs with the fine folks at MKM Pottery Tools. It was great to finally meet Rick, as well as his support staff with Angie, Rachel, Seth & Christopher… as we’ve only known each other “virtually” online. It was great to finally hang-out, get to know each other for real & deliver some of my soda-fired hybrid mugs to them. It was kind of a cool “full-circle moment” as I use the MKM handrollers to create my hybrid mugs. And Appleton is apparently where all the magic comes from!!!

Also from yesterday’s Andersonville Farmer’s Market… some more beautiful dahlias looking for a nice handmade vase to call home! Like this double-handled, stamped & soda-fired oval vase. Handmade pottery makes the pretty flowers even prettier!

Over the weekend, Cindy got her first glimpse of my pottery in-person. As a recent social media follower… she’s only seen it virtually. Until Saturday… and now, her first mug will always be her favorite!
