By the end of class Tuesday, we had a tableful of bowls… all with some fun alterations & decorations! They’re safely under plastic for a couple days… as I think they “might” just need a little more. Perhaps a bit of stamping??? You know, more is more!!!

This past Tuesday in my Beginning Wheel class, we tackled making “bowls on purpose, instead of cylinders gone bad.” So I showed them the basics of how to get a nice smooth curve inside their bowls. And then while they practiced, I made “a few” more! Just one bag of clay… getting ready for Part Two of the night’s “not-so-basic-bowl” demo!!!

So while I’ve been so busy making, glazing & firing my recent soda kiln… I’ve also been working on THIS for awhile!!! Another project… some holiday fun with muddy terra cotta! I know it’s just the beginning making forty cylinders. All of which will transform in this year’s newest addition to The Ghouls Collection! One more “ghoul” to add to the collection of Halloween themed collectibles!

More to come…

And while I was already throwing off-the-hump… I decided I should make another batch of mini’s while I was at it. I mean, who doesn’t want more cutie-patooties?!

So a customer contacted me just to ask if I would have ornaments again this year… the “top-shaped ones”! Of course I said “Yes”… but then realized I probably should make more before I commit?! So I did… another 10×10 Challenge! More than ten by 10:00am! Another productive morning!

Another Monday for making more mugs!!! Yep, after a busy weekend at ART IN THE GARDEN… there’s no rest for the weary! Gotta make more… more… more! I have another soda kiln to fill in a week and a half… yikes! Making more stuff for ART IN THE BARN!!!

Kinda diggin’ this early morning production thing! Cranking out some flower pots early this morning… before heading back outside to play this afternoon! Gotta get these moving… as ART IN THE GARDEN is now just two weeks away!

A very productive morning in the studio before 10am… cranking out another batch of mugs! Starting with a bagful of clay… and voila’… twenty mug cylinders!!! Lots of stamping to come!

Just finished another week of Wheelthrowing Summer Camp… and they cranked out a ton of cool pieces this week! All trimmed & decorated with colored slips. Now just waiting to be bisqued, clear glazed & fired again. Not too shabby for a bunch of 10-11 year olds, right?!

Another early morning being productive in the studio… making more than 10 before 10:00am!!! Now I just have a lot of “detailing” to make them come to life!!!
