Vibrant sunrise colors sweeping the sky this morning. With a chill in the air, breezes coming in from the lake & waves crashing about… another wonderful morning ride along the lakefront.

Looks like Eric is enjoying his coffee in someplace tropical… loving the bright colors & whimsical textures! Perfect for another Mugshot Monday… although I’m really guessing this is just his backyard?!

Confirmed… kinda. : it’s his FRONT PORCH!!!

Welcome to Summer Camp 2026! All set-up… just waiting for the kids!!!

While handles are stiffening up a bit… time to switch gears & add some accents of colored slip to a batch of small bud vases. What a difference some color can make!!!

Pulled some handles… well, not quite handles.
These will be more like “loops on top” once I get them attached.

Lots of stamping done today… moving on to trimming. Which I love!!!

Let the stamping begin… on another batch of pots today!
Big production Sunday is well under way!!!

I’m hoping with enough time & some creative “fan work” I might be able to get these all stamped, trimmed & combined today? Although my students know that I am not a Fan of the fan. But desperate times call for desperate measures! Giddy-up!!!

Another quick batch thrown before 10:00am… this time more than ten tumblers!!! I’ve got to fill a soda kiln next weekend… and I’ve decided today is my last chance to throw new wet work for that. So here we go… it’s going to be a LONG & hopefully productive day in the studio!!!
