Looks like someone has the perfect flowers to coordinate with her new stamped & glazed vase. A beautiful combination… thanks for sharing Cathy!

Looks like my pal Allison is kicking off her morning in style! With a yummy & healthy breakfast with a pretty sweet stamped & soda-fired mug… so nicely coordinated with the blueberries!!! Thanks for sharing your morning with us Allison!

Ya’ gotta love when people celebrate the holidays with a bit of pottery to make it extra festive!!! Like this sweet little sipper filled with a “festive” beverage to celebrate the Fourth of July!!!

Here’s a quick peek at Helen’s first attempt at the “sanggam” technique during our SURFACE DECORATION class last session. You basically do some stamping into the clay, then cover the entire piece with a contrasting colored slip. When that layer of slip dries up, you then scrape it all off to reveal the original surface of the piece, and the contrasting colored slip stays inlaid in the stamps… hopefully creating a smooth surface with an inlaid design. Nicely done Helen!!!

So here’s a sneak peek at some of the commission mugs with geometric shaped stamps! Looks like I need to do a little more cleaning up on them as I start to set them out to dry… but then they should make it into a bisque kiln in the next couple days!!!

Celebrating a little TEXTURE TUESDAY with one of my stamped, soda-fired & handbuilt square vases. I love how the dried allium blossoms work so well with the wavy pattern of the vase. Thanks so much for sharing your vase & flowers with all of us Rhonda!

Working on the mugs again… spending some time stamping the geometric patterns! Pretty pleased so far finding out that the new stamps are working well. Making the quantities as requested… plus a few extras “just in case” something happens along the way! Perfect for another MUGSHOT MONDAY!

Looks like it might be SPIRAL SUNDAY?!
You know how much I love a good spiral… and this plate is REALLY showing off!!!

Looking forward to pear season… and until then, this fake pear will have to do. I mean, it does make this stamped bowl look even better. A little pop of color in a white bowl with dark tenmoku glaze inlaid in the stamps!

A few beautiful flowers arranged in a stamped & soda-fired ikebana vase can make a striking floral statement. No need for tons of flowers… this simple arrangement is BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing your floral fun Karen!
