Welcome to Summer in the studio! I’ve been traveling a lot and it’s been so hot that I have not been able to run kilns or work as much in the studio as usual. Because of this I’ve combined most of July into one vlog episode.
I really need to take better care of my garden but I’ve been so busy(even if it is too hot in the studio to work it’s not too hot to make rolling pins and rim templates!) I’m going to try and set aside a little time each day and weed the garden so it will not be so overwhelming.
Any suggestions for low maintenance plants are always welcome!
It’s been so hot that we were not able to do our Wednesday broadcasts. We did make a trip to our local Home Depot and get a few window air conditioners which hopefully will help cool it down!
I cannot get enough of these cute bread/toast plates. Get your bread cutters from Debi at Deladesigngifts.com
You can get my Plant Baby rolling pin along with all of my rolling pin designs from claysharemarket.com
I’m sad to say my Deep Green Sea celadon will not be available from Clayscapes Pottery until next year. They are just too busy and will not be able to release them until then. But you can get my other wildflower celadons and stoneware glazes while you wait at clayscapespottery.com
We wrapped up bead week with the fabulous Gothic Heart Pendant and Earring class along with the Gothic Heart Stamp class. You can watch them both along with all of my potter classes on www.clayshare.com
I did get to fire the leaf pendant using microwave Raku! It turned out better than I had hoped. The glaze I used is Mayco Raku glaze in Copper Penny.
I have a few microwave Raku classes on ClayShare so check them out if you are interested in learning how to make pottery in the microwave.
I made so many trays! That means there will be lots of glaze classes coming soon for everyone. The Cute Sushi mini roller is too cute, I just love it and can’t wait to see what everyone makes with it!
Yes, the Christmas Tree rim template and Winter Berries rolling pins are now available on ClayShare market! Don’t forget premium Meleen’s of ClayShare save 15% off all of our rim template and rolling pin designs!
