Looks like Rosene is getting creative in the garden again… adding some begonias to her stamped & soda-fired teapot. A cute little planter to spruce-up the picnic table on the deck!

Remember, the oversized flowerpot I threw for my Advanced Wheelthrowing class last session?… well, I made a large water drip tray to go with it. I decided to skip the stamps as it will sit under the flowerpot that already has plenty of stamps!

AND THEN I GOT THIS!!!

The water drip tray just came out of the bisque kiln… and the kiln un-loaders left me a note. Thanks for noticing… thanks for pointing this out Chuck!!!

So their terra cotta birdhouses are all glazed… and my Summer Campers now need to wait patiently to see how they look when they come out of the kiln on Friday!!!

Yesterday my Summer Campers painted their sculptural birdhouses with colorful glazes. Adding layers of low-fire glazes… adding whimsical colors, textures & details!

This week in Summer Camp, I have an other group of creative kids for another SCULPTURE CAMP. We started the week with a clay project… making some sculptural bird houses! Lots of scoring & slipping… lots of dirty fingers!!!

…and DONE!!!

Always good to see those four letters!!!

Well, it’s been a few weeks since we finished our SURFACE DECORATIONS class at Lillstreet. And things have been glazed & coming out of the kiln. Here’s an assortment of Helen’s pieces she made during class… including crackled slip, water etching, sanggam, colored slips, carving, sgraffito, piercing & more! Well done Helen… thanks for sharing your pieces with us!

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

Seems simple enough, right?
But it’s really the rusted patina finish that I’m enamored by.
Perfect for another TEXTURE TUESDAY.

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!
