My Favorite Time of the Year

My first jug has come out of the kiln and I am IN LOVE.

The flowers find their place in it perfectly.

Both pieces above feature my hand-crafted stamps. I keep gushing about this, but it really makes it feel so personal. LOVE.

No faster than I could park my car, was I in my garden finding the perfect buds.  This is my absolutely favorite time of the year, especially as a potter.  I get to take my pots from form to function.  I get to bring the beauty of the outdoors – in.  It is simply delightful!

Here’s a few more pots out of the kiln:

Seriously though, the jug below here is my FAVORITE.  I generally don’t keep much that I make because my darling cherubs break them all, but this one might be a keeper.  I’m holding off though, I have two more coming out… you never know ;)  They might be winners too.

I’m crossing my fingers!

  1. This batch of pottery is beautiful, Mary! Your colour combinations are half of why I like your work so much, and your combination of handbuilt and thrown is another. Love the jug, the mug with the two turtles, and also the mug that has teal on the bottom and a darkish red on top.
