Luminaria for Winter in Color

These are so fun and would look great with a candle flickering inside.

Happy Haloween!

Cats

Sometimes I miss the studio being at the house...

Some mornings it is so tough to leave...

Oscar, Raku and Delly









Beau (14 yr old, half blind, selectively deaf and can smell a food a mile away.





Once I get to the studio, I am always happy to be there without the distractions of home.

Wheel Thrown Pumpkins

Here are a few of the pumpkins I threw on the potters wheel...

Unfortunately the glaze on the little one in front doesn't look as good in the picture as it does in person.  It is a muted, earthtone matte glaze which I am really liking.

Have a great weekend!

Luminaria for Winter

It has been a while sine I had been on the potters wheel, I have really missed it and had a wonderful day.

These are about 8" tall and 4" wide

It has been unusually warm this week- about two hours after throwing these, they were dry enough to trim and cut the tree out.... Did not even cheat and put them out in the sun.

Enjoy, Teresa

Pumpkins

I had a really fun time throwing these pumpkins on the potters wheel.  I started with a cylinder, pushed the walls out giving them a rounded shape then squeezing or colloring in the top until the tip top of the walls meshed together creating a closed form.  The form is hallow, filled with air.  It is easy (and super fun) to manipulate it into shape.

Last I cut the lid and put a stem handle on.

Can't wait to see what they look like glazed- I'm thinking of using underglaze.... will post pics when they are done.

Enjoy this fantastic fall!  Teresa
