A constellation mug I made and painted!

Started wrapping some things up tonight! The handles on my casserole started drying too quickly so I brushed the seams with a ceramic glue and then waxed the handles and the knob to try to slow the drying on them to match the body. Then I pulled some handles and trimmed up my new swirled tests. Bowls went on the rack and I’ll put the handles on the mugs this Saturday.

currently thinking about all the incense holders i wanna make!

Love Matthew Metz’s work. I came to this year’s St Croix Valley Pottery Tour looking to buy one of his beer stein mugs. Last year, I put one down and lamented not buying it. But he didn’t have any available! It’s okay — I’ll check next year. Metz is holding a new style of mug he’s been making lately — note the round circular carvings in the background of the design. It’s just lovely.

I’d love to see the original video.

Some fantastic luck tonight! Somehow, somewhere, the clay gods listened to my begging and I was able to get the lid of my casserole to fit into the body again. So I cleaned up the lid a smidge, left it on the pot, stuck on my handles, and drew in where I wanted the matching design to be. Then I took the time to do some more iron oxide brushwork on my new bowl and did some test glazing. I won’t make it into the studio this weekend so I’m hoping all will go well.

I also took most of my time to trim 2/3 of the pots my young dudes made last Saturday.

Today I had a crash course on wheel throwing with two teens and a 9 year old! They all did really well for their first time. I’ve got some pieces to get ready for glazing now…
