IG keeps telling me to make a reel from old stores

IG keeps telling me to make a reel from old stores so here’s one, I don’t own a slab roller, nor do I really have space for one, so I always throw out my slabs and use two flat pieces of wood to regulate the thickness. I find the fine weave of a sheet invaluable for transferring large slabs.

Morning tea, much needed.
Shaun is an incredibly skilled Sgraffito-er but I also am blown away with his imagery which is unique and meaningful.

I don’t think I ever showed you this. I did 2 this past year, the first as an experiment and the second to refine what I’d learned from the first. I took notes because the studio is closed for the winter and I could easily forget the steps in the interim! Both bowls have been sold so I have only my photos for reference. And as many of you know, the order in which one does things is key in ceramics.

Some ginkgo for you today, this is a female ginkgo as they are the only ones that bear the famously odiferous fruit.

A beautiful @jordanjonespottery mug that i love. The handle is wonderful as is the illustration. I’m lucky to have it as Jordan is a NW coast potter.

It’s #mugshotmonday so it’s time to #pickamug who will it be today?
I met Margaret this past summer when she was a guest at our stop on the @cannonriverclaytour. It was a very happy meeting of like-minded souls! Her beautiful mugs evoke the coziness of quilts, and the skill of a craft well learned.

I narrate How I put together a tree bowl. I don’t make these often but are excellent for fruit etc as they give you varied height on your table and don’t take up much counter space.

It’s #pickamug time! Monday means #mugshotmonday and today it’s a killer combination of @ryanmyersceramics and Willem Gebbins teapot. Ryan is not only an excellent potter but also an amazing sculptor. He’s also unfailingly generous and all around great guy.

For #mugshotmonday I thought I’d show you the choices I’m faced with for my morning tea. I feel incredibly lucky to know so many of the makers personally. Today it’s a bear mug by my fried Sue Tirrell. It has a super comfortable handle. Sue is a fabulous Sgraffito-er, a great teacher and a lovely person!
