Time to have some textured fun in the studio again! My collection of MKM Pottery Tools handrollers has practically doubled. You can tell the difference… the clean new ones vs. the dusty loved ones… all of them just waiting to make some new impressions!!!

After last week’s demo on “thick slip” with my SURFACE DECORATION class, I’ve continued working on this platter in my studio. Now that it’s leatherhard, I decided to start carving a texture all around the flange of the platter. So much nicer with my favorite DiamondCore Tools carving tool. Crisp, clean edges every time!

Last night in my SURFACE DECORATION class, we played with some different slip colors mixed with a sodium silicate solution to help us create these wonderful crackled surfaces on our wheelthrown pots!!! Exciting as every one is different every time!!!

Another large stamped platter fresh from the kiln. Loving how this glaze pools & puddles in all the right places… totally accentuating all of the stamped textures along the way!

Gray morning. Gray clay.
Another batch of “gray-for-now” textured nuggets!!!

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

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…

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!!!

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!!!
