I've always enjoyed loading and unloading kilns... one of my favorite steps in the pottery process, like a large puzzle!

Unloading the kiln, next steps are adding black inlay into the lines, glazing the handles bright colors, dipping the mug in clear glaze then reloading for its final firing! Fruit mugs coming soon!

I like to throw the rims of my mixing bowls hollow, making them a little extra puffy while leaving them light weight. It also helps direct the liquid you're pouring out of the spout.

First I think out the clay at the rim of the bowl, then carefully roll it over towards the inside of the pot. Once a hollow ring is formed, I gently press the edge into the inside of the bowl, sealing off the ring so water and food can't get in later.
