I know how I'm spending my day.

Spent the afternoon attaching handles and doing a little carved designs into some mugs I threw a few days ago. Woot woot. Feels good to get them done but most importantly, it feels good to do something creative and getting back into clay. Happy Saturday!!!

I went for my 6-week post-op check up today and the doc said I don't have to wear the neck brace anymore!!! I am still on a 20-lb lift restriction and no headstands. 🤣 I just might try a little throwing tonight if I get home from the committee meeting in time. WootWoot!

Before heading to Antarctica, I managed to finish one last project today.☕️☕️☕️ It started as an idea last Saturday and came together surprisingly fast. On Sunday, a friend and I hand-built ten cups and added our gym’s logo. On Monday, I threw a few more cups, trying to match the same size — again with our gym logo. After that, the usual rhythm followed: drying, bisque firing on Thursday, unloading on Friday, sanding and glazing, loading the kiln again on Saturday — and today I finally unloaded them so I could bring them to the gym to be used for coffee.🔥 Even though I worked with the same reference and the same stencil, every cup turned out a little different. Because of that, I decided to glaze them in 15 different shades of blue. Not every blue came out truly blue — the differences are pretty striking.💙🔷🔵🩵🌀 I’ll show this in more detail in my kiln loading/unloading video. I’m not sure yet when it’ll be edited and uploaded — maybe Tuesday, before I leave. What’s your first impression?

I’d love to invite you to share your current favorite glaze with the community. Whether it’s the one you keep reaching for lately, a glaze you love using again and again, or a combination that really excites you — show us! Feel free to post one or several photos of pieces where you’ve used it.☕️ Let’s inspire each other, discover new favorites, and maybe even fuel our shared glaze addiction a little more. 😉 Especially our newer members — I’d love to see what glazes you’re excited about right now.
