Still one of my favorite glaze combos! Probably not my most popular with customers, but the blend of teal, greenish-yellow, and the underlying brown clay... just blends together in such a dreamy way.

Just a few mugs from the glaze kiln yesterday. It wasn't a large run, just necessary to fire a few things to show examples of specific patterns and colors. These are transfers from @elantransfers: chickens, skulls + tarot, and scales.

In anticipation of berry picking season, I thought

In anticipation of berry picking season, I thought it would be a good time to make a few small berry bowls. Thought it would be fun to do some creative cuts. What do you think?
😃
In additional news. I should have the last of the test glaze items done in a few days for all of the Kickstarter options. I can't wait to send out those surveys and get to making and fulfillment!

Glaze testing from this past week. I didn't have my hydrometer when I made these glazes to make sure they were the correct "thickness", so I could tell that a few of these were off. Hydrometer came in the mail today, and sure enough, I was correct about the ones that needed thickening. The only good thing about it being 90° this weekend is that I can let the glazes evaporate some.
😎
But look at those matte pastels... oooooh they look goooooood.

It has been a flurry of work prepping for glaze testing. These past two weeks I've been slipping in glaze mixing and whoops... somehow ended up with 18 glazes. I'm also trying a few different clay bodies that I didn't have access to before, which means 5 sets of test tiles.
😅
It feels like a lot, but I keep reminding myself that this is just part of the setup process. I'll probably always have many glazes, but at least I won't always have 5 different clays!
I have one more BIG addition for the studio arriving today... can't wait to share.

First new things being made in the studio!! Off on

First new things being made in the studio!! Off on vacation until April 20th, but really couldn't resist making a few last minute pieces before I left. Feels good to be making things again, and in a new space! Holy cow am I stoked!

Okay, so I know it's not a gorgeous piece of pottery... but we are so close to being done with this space! Knocked out the painting and trim around the windows and doors this past weekend. I just need to touch up a few spots and then we can clean up the floor. I'll finally be able to move my wheel in and set up some tables etc, just to get me going, and then it's on to testing out the kiln! It's felt like so long... but when I consider that we've only put about 20ish days into this project... I'm amazed.

First off, my meager small batch of pieces are off

First off, my meager small batch of pieces are officially up on my Etsy shop. The photos are... okay, but dark. I gave up trying to edit them because of update issues with Lightroom (the software I use for editing).

This is the time of year that I take a little break from making, but I promise I'll be back at it soon! Lots of goals to hit and things to plan for 😄
That last photo is how I keep track of the volume of mugs when making my listings. Yep, I do actually check how much each of them hold.

I've been taking a small making break, which I usually do this time of year after the holiday rush. It's a time to let the wrists recover (I struggle with carpal tunnel issues from strains long before I started making pots), generate new ideas, and reorganize my space. I WILL have a small shop update on Jan 30th opening at 6pm ET.

Today I'm sharing a shot of my desk and a few little things that I loved making. Little vases, green metallic looking glazes, and boxes to hold all sorts of things like pens/pencils, brushes for art or makeup, flower buds... you name it. I haven't made them for a while because they never really sold and I'd just accumulate them. But I LOVE making little boxes. I like making mugs and all, but I need to expand the types of pieces I make.

What would you all like to see more of in 2022?

Testing glazes on new dark clay. These were a matte white and matte green. The white came out this satin brownish color, and the green remained matte but a creamy white color. Very cool! Though not as bright as I usually go, this is great for some soil themed mugs. 😉

Testing out simple glaze combos on different clay

Testing out simple glaze combos on different clay bodies. I couldn't get my usual standard 266, so this is brown bear with speckles from @kentuckymudworks 🐻 gotta say, I love the speckles! It was also wonderful to throw with. Might have to try and snag up some more!

The tumbler featured in my day 3 of tea! This glaz

The tumbler featured in my day 3 of tea! This glaze combo had me perplexed for a bit. When I was first doing this I loved all the tones of green, blue, and yellow, with the brown of the clay peeking through. For a while now, I have not been seeing that, until this last kiln unload. I forgot that I'd originally been hand painting the layers, so went back to that. Its a bit longer of a process versus dipping, but the results are absolutely worth it! Come find it at the Blacksburg Farmer's market this weekend!

One of the exceptions to my usual bright color scheme is when I'm making mugs to look like soil profiles. This mug was designed to look like how a northeast forest soil progresses in color with depth. These soils are called Spodosols!
