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.

Bears platter: Approx. 10" x 13" |

Many mugs for Marnie. They will soon be at her new sewing and crafts store in Anchorage. Learn more at WinterSolsticeCraft.com

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.
