July 6...another glaze kiln unloaded

 

Two full shelves of mugs were glazed and fired. I am delighted by how they look. Shapes and handles vary; all are designed to be stable, not tipsy; each proudly wears the Winter Solstice logo and a beautiful blue glaze that fits the clay body well. More about Winter Solstice when I have permission to spread the news. Hint...think sewing and crafts!

There are 50+ of these mugs.


Have had some interesting requests lately for plates with ravens and a large cheese platter with a black bear. I decided to add some baby bears following Mama Bear and came up with these pieces:

Raven Plate: Approx. 8"x 9.5"

Bears platter: Approx. 10" x 13"  

The kiln had room for more:
Many mugs for Marnie. They will soon be at her new sewing and crafts store
in Anchorage.  Learn more at

A new design I'm trying out.  On the left with a cover, it can serve to hold treasures
like candies, nuts, tea bags or whatever.  On the right, it becomes a vase to hold 
water and flowers. A Grand Opening gift to Winter Solstice when the time comes.

A serving bowl and long tray...  both with poor lighting.
 
Some small little pottery pieces to hold small little things.

Some small little plates to hold other small little things.



A lot of it all together...and an invitation to you:
