Hughes Pottery

There’s been a lot of sharing of finished work lately but we’re also still making more. So much more. This year our last day of making will be Dec 14, then we’ll glaze, fire and ship and ease ourselves into a little down time.

Setting up for a sale at the house in November is complicated. Halloween is now in a trailer. The old fridge that was sitting on the porch is scrapped. The yard was raked and cut the tent put up. Tables and shelves installed and we got some of our lovely local friends to come help shuttle pottery to the tent. Tomorrow we’ll have fresh pieces from the kiln. We’ll rearrange everything and set up the extra tables. Then do our best to tidy up our house full of doom boxes to prepare for our visitors and customers on Saturday morning.

Not quite as productive as I could have been today,but I did pretty well. Also this is why we have to set up a tent outside to sell from the house. This weekend, Saturday and Sunday 9-5 147 Elm St Tionesta PA (at Tionesta, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cke1DY9jnF4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have orders for 3 yarn bowls so I thought I should do a few extra (at Tionesta, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkeYY3dL7Ou/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s getting to the time of year when USPS starts to hate us. I’ve packed and sent out 20 orders over the last two days. I still have 14 to go, but they’re still in process. (at Tionesta, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkY2-bzAXsh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m making steady progress on glazing. Looks like we’ll be running both a bisque and a glaze this weekend! (at Tionesta, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkPMJlkjLhw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Handles and trimming again today. Also some grandchild time. There are still about 8 to trim and 40 to get handles. Some will happen tomorrow and hopefully on Wednesday I can get a solid days work in. Though mugs are in high demand I have plates, goblets and yarn bowls on my order list too!

Lots of handles and trimming in the studio today while surrounded by lots of excited kids doing kid stuff. Balance is important so I am retiring to the porch, there may be forced self relaxation 🤣 (at Tionesta, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkEwXX2rQbT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today was a very special day in the studio. Our grandson Jaxon came for the weekend and he missed the studio a lot he spent a couple hours there this morning and a couple hours later this afternoon. He was a production machine, see pic #2. And I did pretty well too! (at Tionesta, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkCW-_LjKMo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
