December Days

Have made lots of bowls like this one these past few weeks as Christmas gifts-- orders from friends. It's been a busy December.
Here are a few random pictures. Above is a casserole bowl that I made.... the finished one is beautiful. Will post a picture of it soon.
The kiln was busy in December, firing a few times.
Made several teabowls--- and really liked the blues of the insides of them. That's blue/green celadon with alfred's blue on top in certain places.
The insides of more teabowls.
These are those teabowls. Some of my most recent favorite forms.
It's amazing what the variation can be with these glazes... I'll make more of these in the future. One of my New Year's resolutions? To write more posts... and keep in better touch with the blogging world of potters.

Christmas Gifts


Christmas will soon be here and I have been very busy making Christmas gifts. There are some pics of teabowls and bowls on my facebook page. Friend me and you'll see better pictures of each individual one there. I hope to put up some pictures here tonight. Here are a couple. There's various shades of blue and purple in these.... and some have a bit of red in the inside from the reduction, which has spots/flashes of blue/purple, and sometimes red. Almost all have an indentation in them- perfect for a thumb to hold.

Not enough time to be in the studio these days! Somedays I wish I could be a pottery full-time.

Today I'm mailing out Christmas gifts and orders to folks...

What fun this is!
