Mug-a-thon

With the Holiday season approaching, I have been working on getting together a few shipments of mugs out to various places. Here is the latest batch. By Wednesday this week I'll post new pitchers and plates on my websiteLooking forward to slowing down after the holidays and experimenting on some new forms and large platters, but for now I got to keep cranking out work. 

I started flipping the cups upside down when applying slip. I think it increases the energy of each piece. 
Over a month ago I switched to a mid range white stoneware and am still working on getting the right color combinations.I think these are getting there. 



Trying out some squat forms. Needs some tweaking.

New Colors

Working on some new slip color palettes. In undergrad, I did a series of prints with essentially the same colors as the last color group and was told it was a "weird color combination". Here I am, three years later, coming back to the same weird combination. I like it.
