These blues have captured my full attention! Our gas fireing process takes these pieces into heavy reduction (oxygen starvation) and to a hot cone 6… (2220 degrees Fahrenheit) and pulls out some BRILLIANT colors! We will be at the Lighthouse Festival on October 12 in Marblehead! Come see us!

Our first glaze load in over two years and it went very well! We are mixing our own glazes but as we perfect that end of things we combined several commercial glazes and came up with some really pretty finishes! And a little peek at my sweet lil grand guy in the last picture! ❤️

After being off my art social media accounts for over 800 days… I’m dipping my toes back in! We have had so many changes in the past 800 days, but now my new studio is nearly complete and I’m dabbling with some small projects while I wait for Benj to finish up the electrical work so I can finally return to the wheel! Here are some things I’ve been working on to get the creativity flowing!

I’m feeling so thankful for the outcome of these past several weeks of time in the studio, this morning all of the tears and frustration of the past few weeks melted away with a near perfect glaze firing! I am a mom to 6, one son and five daughters, I am a basketball coach, I’m a wife to the most patient man God has ever blessed the earth with, and I’m SLEEPY! These past several months have been filled with kiln firing times that were less than ideal, difficulty getting materials that I’ve NEEDED to finish projects… but these months have also been filled with Gods timing and provision, Bens ability to be home when I need him to do a firing! (We converted an electric kiln to a gas kiln and we run it on propane and w**d burners!!) helpful daughters and the best friends a girl could ask for, PATIENT recipients of my local shop offerings and some really great supporters of my work. All of that to say, I’m really thankful for the big and little things in my life today. ❤️ logo mugs DONE (for today! Two more batches to go!!)
