Handmade bowl with a carved flower design and a white glaze that is turned on its side.
Thistle Bowl with a white glaze.
Still my absolute favorite pattern to carve. The glaze just catches on the edges so well.

White latte mug with a hand-carved pomegranate pattern. Sitting on a red and white checkered picnic blanket
I've been making lots and lots of these pomegranate latte cups lately. There's something about the background patterns coming up through the glaze thats got me thinking

White, handmade espresso cup with a floral design on the front. Filled with coffee and a crossword puzzle in the background.
Test driving this espresso cup. Started making these as a way to try out new glazes instead of using actual test tiles but now they're one of my fav to make. Love a small pot!

Ceramic mug in progress sitting on a wood shelf. The mug has not gone through the first firing and you can see lots of carving lines in the body of the piece. There is a floral design with a heavily textured background on the mug.
Lots of textured mugs coming so soon. I'm planning a mid/ late February shop update ~ Think cups, bowls, and more mugs than intended (I went on a little mug making frenzy, oops)

Three stacked ceramic bowls with hand carved floral designs. The white glaze is breaking around the edges of the carving and turning a darker color. The foot of one bowl is turned up, showing the bare clay.
Winter in the studio means working larger, bundling up and trying to keep my greenware from freezing my hands. The bigger the bowl, the less I have to hold it while carving.
I fill buckets with warm water, ignore my reclaim, enjoy the snowy courtyard and count the days until baseball season.
Wow. So soooo jealous!! Looks like you're living the dream 🐄

Handmade ceramic mug being held up in front of a pottery wheel. The surface design is a carved floral pattern with wavy lines in the background to imply wind. Mug is in the greenware stage and has not been fired in a kiln.
I've been bunkered down in the studio this month making lots of pots and working on changing up my handles. Getting ready to fire a Very full bisque kiln!
