January

Well, its finally over, the Christmas rush.

The last of the orders are in the kiln, taking a long time to dry with the cold weather us Floridians are not too used to...

One small disaster,

*note to self*, do NOT fire the kiln even though you think they have all dried without double checking....

I have not done that in a couple of years, but its always a learning process

Working hard

At this time of year, for me the custom orders are coming in fast and keeping me busy, as of tomorrow, I will no longer be accepting new custom orders so get them in now, or else I can't guarantee that they will be done in time for Christmas delivery.
These are some of the custom pieces that I have been working on, you can see that the colors are not developed yet, they come out true in the last firing of the clay body. Ignore the mess, at this time of year, I do not clean!
