Now that these have been gifted to their recipients I can post this project… My first real plates! Being able to throw one my own plates to paint on has been one of the main goals for learning how to do pottery for me, so I’m pretty excited about these. I was asked to create...
These suckers have run through the kiln a total of 4 times. Once for bisque and 3 more for glaze coats. I didn’t think the glaze covered well enough until the last one. This glaze needs to be layed on super...
Coming soon to a throwing range near you… The fanciest knives that ever...
The Blue Feather project will be a hopefully ongoing project for us. Basically the idea is we’re crafting pendants with a Blue Feather, representing the LGBT populace. I thought they might also be a great way to experiment with new materials and techniques, and also be a fun way to get people who haven’t really...

So I signed up for Reddit Secret Santa “Ugly Mugs” because obviously I would.. and this year my recipient is somebody from the UK who listed amongst her interests Pokemon and Makeup… so I decided to combine the two concepts. I went with the other interpritation of ugly mug (as in ugly face) borrowing inspiration...
I’m currently working on a set of award plates for an upcoming event. I don’t want to give away too many details so that they’re a suprise when the time comes. There will be 4 pieces in total when I’m done, one large Lagoon rim plate, similar to the ones I did as awards for...
