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!!!

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…

Can’t believe my collection of MKM Pottery Tools handrollers has just DOUBLED!!! Great patterns & textures made with perfectly crafted wooden handrollers. Can’t wait to start playing with them… time to get them dirty!!! Just in time for another Texture Tuesday!!!

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

With just about a month until St. Patrick’s Day…
gotta get stamping if we’re going to have mugs in time!!!

Back by popular demand… tonight in my Intermediate Wheel class, we did a stamp-making demo again! And made some fun stamps along the way. Now they just need to dry & be bisqued before we can start to use them!

Just another night of stamping tonight on this batch of mug cylinders using my own handmade clay stamps. Hoping tomorrow I can trim & get handles attached to all of them!

You know how I love making my own stamps…
and this time I “might have” gone with a little bit of a theme?!
‘Tis the season…

After “warming up” with stamping a dinner plate, it was time to tackle a larger platter. A blank canvas… then a couple stamps using my own handmade stamp. Sure I coulda stopped after on ring around the perimeter… but what fun would that be???

Just doing a little stamping tonight on a couple demo bowls from last night’s pottery class. We discussed making “larger” bowls… and then we did!!! Sure, I could select them plain… HA!!!
