Whew!

Two long days at the ceramic studio, and I used up 50 lbs of clay, made a giant mess, met some quirky old ladies, and acquired a serious backache. I love being a full time potter!

 I made somewhere around 20 pieces in the past few days. I built some by hand and threw a few on the wheel.  I'm trying out a new kind of clay and experimenting with new designs. If they turn out as awesome as I hope, I will have a fresh batch ready for etsy in a few weeks. I've been working on single stem flower holders, serving trays with dipping dishes, spice jars, and soap dishes. I also made a fountain that looks like a flower. I am so excited to be able to start a new line of fountains. I have been playing around with the pumps and tubes and hope to have a fully functional one up for sale soon!

In other news, Ive been cooking a lot recently. I hope to start posting pictures and recipes on here as I try out new things. Why not share the deliciousness? So many things are in the works, stay tuned for new developments and have an awesome 4th of July!

One of my flower fountains in progress (not yet fired)

The finished flower! With the pump working! however this one has a crack on the base so I am making another.

Me at the studio with a crazy vase I'm working on. This piece has been fired once to harden (vitrify) the clay, I will glaze it and fired it again to finish it.
