Fall berries on the vine. Simple curves, colored berries on a metal trellis against a weathered wooden fence.

Coming soon to my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page.
More details to come…

…and my Dad has pulled out his collection of Ghouls & Pumpkins!!!

One of the few people who have the entire collection from the start.
I mean, he has an “in” after all…

And if you would like to start your own festive Ghouls Collection, I will be hosting an online sale on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page this Saturday morning 10/10@10:10am! Some of the characters have already been retired, but there are still plenty to go around! More details to come…

Beautiful blue skies made for the perfect “excuse” to get outside to play hooky this afternoon.

It’s been so cold lately, that this little bit of a warm spell is a welcome surprise! And it looks like it might stay around all week?! WHOO-HOO!!! Take advantage of it… go outside to play!!!

Looks like Kasey is enjoying her new spoon rest… such a simple piece of pottery that can make a HUGE difference in your kitchen! If you want to “upgrade” your cooking situation, there are more spoon rests in my Online Pottery Shop! Click here for my online shop!

Celebrating another TEXTURE TUESDAY with some natural stone erosion along the lakefront. I love the layers, the shading & the textures that happened from all of the crashing waves over the years!

A little warmer this morning, but a bit hazy too. It too awhile for the sun to work its way through the low-flying haze over the lake.

Tonight in class, Kelly had a plate that she wanted to decorate. She had hoped to do some stamping, but it was a bit too dry already. So she did some sgraffito carving instead. And to make her carving lines cleaner & sharper, I brought down my collection of DiamondCore Tools for her to try out. Always a good choice for crisp carving lines… and I’m always willing to share!!!

Back by popular demand… one of my Intermediate Wheel students saw my photos from the bowl demo I did last week for my Beginners on Instagram. She asked if they could see some of the not-so-basic-bowl “tricks” in her class. And who am I to say “no”??? So we did it again… but this time only nine, not the full sixteen!

Halloween is getting closer… and the Ghouls are coming out!
Here’s Taylor’s collection from over the years.

Many of them have been “retired” from The Ghouls Collection.
But I still have a lot of fun Ghouls to share, as well as the newest Pumpkin Patch I’ve been working on. So watch for more details about “A GHOULISH POP-UP SALE” to be held on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page in the next few days!!!
