Olive Oil/Soy Sauce Doughnut Pitcher
I had a lump of clay left over from doing the dip platters and decided to do something a bit off the wall and a challenge.
Throwing the doughnut was surprisingly easy. The hard part was throwing the bits and pieces for construction. Also construction was not all that fun either. I don't think I will be doing any more of these unless I do them a lot bigger!

Dipping Bowl Plates

Finally decided to make a few.. Ok.. 20 of these little dipping plates. The plates are going to end up being 7 1/2" wide. So these will be more like personal plates and/or for small appetizers.
Definitely saving a couple back for my kitchen!

A day.. or so, in the Life of a Production Potter!
Getting ready for season... a day in the life of a production potter. Well a day and a short morning of throwing them. I was a bit tired and didn't finish up all the bowls yesterday afternoon so spent an hour this morning and threw the last 7 balls of clay. Still need to have them dry a bit before trimming.
40 bowls.. (20 of which are destined to be berry bowls.) Figure I need about 40 more to start with.
175 coasters.. Ugh.. One of the most boring of pots to throw! I'll need about 300 more so its going to be split up in two or three sessions.
Now it did take an afternoon to measure out and weigh the clay.. So I guess it is almost a two day effort.
Next on the list is fish and trays. Have to dig out the slab roller... Figure about 40 fish and 300 trays to do. Like the bowls and coasters I'll be splitting up the routine.

Bird Feeder in the Works

The bird feeders I make are all different in style, glaze, and size. This one is a bit large but the customer wanted it like this. Works for me!

End Of Season!

Some of what is in the works for next season...
Photo is of my new glaze and pattern glaze. I've fallen in love with the glaze pictured on the vase and plan to make a series.
