Scratch, attach, repeat… repeat… repeat…
It’s been a very productive day playing with porcelain making more of my favorites!





Porcelain handles pulled… just setting up a bit before I start attaching. I like to sit them up in an arched curve as they stiffen up – so that the majority of the bending is already done so there’s less cracking if they dry out a bit too much.

Porcelain cylinders need porcelain handles to make them into porcelain mugs, right?! So this morning I’m making some handles out of these little nuggets of porcelain.

All wedged up… no more green… one bag of reclaimed porcelain already turned into wheelthrown cylinders. Under wraps for the night… might just get some stamping done tomorrow! Maybe.


Another night… another two dozen mugs!!!
Happy Mugshot Monday… making my favorites!!!
Now just for a little clean-up & colored slip accents tomorrow.






Score… slip… attach… repeat… repeat… repeat…

A quick round of throwing more mugs… as well as loading a bisque kiln…
and then sub-teaching Lisa Harris’ class. Already got a lot done…
and the day is still young!!!

Because I prefer a flower pot with a separate water drip plate.


Just setting up for an early morning trimming session.
Always better when you ave some great tools to work with… like my Bison Trimming Tools!

Celebrating another Mugshot Monday by making another batch of MUGS!!!
All assembled tonight… for tomorrow they’ll get some colored flashing slip accents painted on!
