I’ll have some weirdos (weird pencil toppers or finger puppet heads) for sale this weekend and in St. James MO on Saturday October 23rd from 11 AM to 4 PM. In addition I’ll have tiny pottery, midsized bowls, some mugs, large bowls, and some platters.

Studio is set up at home now. Lots of things crammed into a smaller space. Still working on organizing and sending pots off to organizations that are local so they will be happily used rather than sitting in boxes/bins. For folks that purchased gift certificates this means I can teach at home on the weekends. Please call or text me to set up time for your classes.

Thank you for understanding and I have appreciated all the support this year.

I asked my kid to hold some pottery so I could show scale. He kind of willingly obliged. He was super careful but got tired after 5 items and was DONE after 10.

Julie and Steve are smiling behind their masks because they had a great 2 hour class and made 3 items each plus they pulled handles. Thanks for a great Saturday morning in the studio.

Eco friendly reusable mugs in 16-24 ounce capacity $25-$35 each. Glazed with my custom peacock glaze that needs to be studied to appreciate the variations in color. These mugs are a great way to enjoy your favorite hot or cold beverage. Microwaveable, dishwasher safe, and beautiful to boot.

Glaze test with all the commercial glazes I have with the rim dipped in the Nutmeg glaze I make. I can see a lot more color combinations used in the future with this guide. I used a bowl that had a visible crack in the bottom after a bisque firing for this so it still had a chance at being something even though it cannot be used for food.

Art from “white mud”

As a ceramic artist who choses to work exclusively with porcelain I want to teach others that the red/orange mud may be found in your Missouri back-yard is not the same as the clay I use. Yes, during the process of making on the wheel you may experience slip covered hands that looks like white mud but it is far from it. Porcelain is made of very small particles that are held together by the surface tension of the water in the clay as well as the platelets of the clay itself. Too much water used when forming on the wheel and the clay will collapse on itself and you’ll need to re-wedge it so it can be used again at a later date.

As a juried member of the Best of Missouri Hands art guild, my work has been recognized as being of quality craftsmanship and artistic value. I strive to maintain this whether I’m teaching classes, exhibiting my art, or making custom pieces.
