Nice day for a show, although for sure colder than I’d like.

Last night I made my 1000th piece of 2025!

All set up at the farmers market!

Had a great Saturday at the farmers market, almost sold out of all my mugs & soap dispensers. Looks like I need to sit down and crank a bunch out.
These two mugs are not a normal size for me but I’ve been wanting to try some new shapes & sizes. I’m really happy with how the glaze came out as well.

New cups on my Etsy! Going to try and start updating it more regularly. It’s hard when I’m at the farmers market every weekend.

Ran into some alpacas on yesterday’s ride.

I haven’t tried that yet. I just looked it up and it looks darker than what I used. I’ll have to try it out!

A couple little cups I made to test out a new clay body I’m trying out. It’s Laguna B3 - the blackest clay I can find. I love how creamy & smooth it is. I tested my Seamist & Fog liner glazes on the insides & pink on the outside. Excited to get more glaze tests done.

A couple mugs with on of my favorite glazes. I love the way Smokey Merlot reacts with Winterwood.

Beautiful bike!!

A couple purple bowls on dark brown clay. I love how this glaze reacts with the clay body.
Glaze used - Smokey Merlot over Obsidian

Unloaded a bisque full to turn around & load a glaze full.

Another weekend in the books. Had a great time at Ix this Saturday and got a few good rides in. I have what feels like 300 things to get glazed this week and two massive orders I gotta start throwing later in the week.

First time in a loooooong time using millers 50. I loved it. Excited to get these testers fired & glazed.

A couple of my little wiggle wire cups. I love the way the glaze breaks over the texture.

20 little cups thrown & trimmed this evening.

Bisque firing under way!

It was a hot but fun weekend, now back to the grind. I’m hoping to fire off a bisque kiln later in the week once my stuff is confirmed dry. In the meantime time I’ll throw some mugs & cups so I can get a little head start for my next kiln load.

Today’s farmers market was super hot! But it was a nice way to spend the day.

A set of little wiggle wire cups. These are so fun to make

More tests with clay bodies. This time the rainforest / snow combo on tan, dark brown, & red clay. I like the green on the tan clay but I love the depth of the green on the red clay.
Glaze used - Snow overlapping Rainforest

Happy Monday! Here’s a couple pink mugs from a recent kiln unload. I have a few custom orders to knock out today, then back to normal throwing for my farmers market table.
Glaze used - Sunset Pink over Honey Flux
