  1. That moment when the cone 10 glaze firing is well underway, you are cleaning up the glazing table, and suddenly there is an out-of-place container of low-fire glaze sitting in front of you...

  2. Pulling handles and trying not to smirk.

  4. Some half-crazed, clay-slinging, glaze spraying, slab-building, old-dude maniac has made a mess in the studio...oh wait.

  5. One more sacrifice to the kiln gods for this overnight firing including the rest of a large order and my hydria.

  6. Looking at nature is so beautiful and inspiring. Definitely using it for my glaze surfaces in the future.

  7. Ah the joys of spraying glazes in a winter storm outside in 36 degree weather. What a life! Ceramics!

      I went for a quick run last night. Even with gloves my hands burned a bit.

  9. Last day of retail today close at 4 pm and pack up booth and display . Only have 3 packages to ship after Xmas then 2015 is over clay wise

  10. I have had bad luck with my pots lately. Hydra exploded and the family tree vases I made for parents christmas gift look like a 10 yr olds school project. :(

  11. Taking a day off for tamale making....and CARNITAS!! Merry Christmas, all!

  12. Making pots, it's a mugs game.

      And Giselle, just keep at it, with the handles. Soon, making them will be second nature.

      Mugs are extremely utilitarian, which is why everyone likes them... Or maybe because it's a psychological thing because we associate them with dispensing caffeinated beverages to us...

  14. I, too, have just had the best show of my career. What a year for potters everywhere!

  15. Getting ready to run a load of teapots and bowls. Caught cold hunting, so things are going . . . slow!

  16. Don't you hate finding out that the Mobile, Ala event you're planning to go on Dec. 12th is actually on Dec.5th? Time to rush!

  17. Woohoo, my new L&L kiln arrived, and is it ever pretty. Very well engineered, and packed very carefully. I can't wait to set it up and use it.

  18. May I have your prayers and good vibes one more time, my friends? Tomorrow Friday, very early in the morning, I'll have my second hand surgery (left hand). I hope everything goes as well as the right hand did. Thank you all!

  19. New wedding jar in glaze load today for my nephew. No cone 7 mistake hopefully.
