Just getting ready to tackle a new batch of mugs… getting ready for some fun trimming, which we all know I LOVE!!! Especially with my line-up of trimming tools from DiamondCore Tools.

This morning I subbed for an intermediate wheelthrowing class. We talked & laughed… and then I did a couple demos. We started with throwing a large platter. And then, with a little “Julia Child kitchen switch-out magic” I switched to a platter that I had thrown a couple days ago and did a fun stamping demo for them. I think I may have won them over?…

Finished up another batch of stamped mugs. This batch is destined for a trip through my next soda kiln… as they have been accented & detailed with colored flashing slips which will show up a lot more after the atmospheric firing.

Looks like “shared-birthdate-buddy” Allyn is enjoying her mornings a bit more with her new handmade mugs!!! A perfect way to celebrate another Mugshot Monday!

So I’ve got a very limited collection of brand new SHAMROCK MUGS just in time for St. Patrick’s Day! I’ll be doing a quick online sale right here on my pottery Facebook page this Friday evening at 7:00pm CST. More details to come…

Looks like something fun has come out of the kiln… just in time for some upcoming Irish party day!!! Perhaps we need a quick online sale to celebrate??? More details to come…

In my Monday night Intermediate Wheelthrowing class this week, one of my students was stamping wonderful patterns on her thrown platter. Wonder where she got THAT idea?!

It looks AMAZING Christine!!!
I guess my work here is done…

Just trying to get a little head-start on making some more flower pots for my upcoming summer art fairs! Thrown & stamped with some water drips trays… just waiting to trim, punch drainage holes, dry, bisque fire, glaze & soda fire. Feels like I’ve got a good head-start… but there’s still a lot of steps to get them done!

Another great “national” holiday today…
NATIONAL CHERRY PIE DAY!!!

And it would be just be downright wrong for me not to celebrate on such a wonderful day, right?!

Celebrating another TEXTURE TUESDAY… before I head off to class to teach my Beginners how to throw plates & platters on the wheel. They might not get quite this far tonight… but there’s always next session to show them even more!!!
