Production Push

I realized the other day that things were thinning out in my inventory and with a few shows coming up, I decided to start making a production push!

It felt good to make some more faceted mugs and stick the bottle glass on the sides of some of them.

At the end of this month I will be at Cedarock Farm in Alamance County for their Preserving Our Heritage Day, and then early next month I may be at the Silk Hope Old Fashioned Farmer's Day. Because at both of these events I will be demonstrating and not having a lot of time to sell much, I made some extra more traditional pieces to (hopefully) appeal to the crowds attending these events.

This started out as an intentional design, and then went its own route. I think it turned out well!

I was really excited to make these bottles, mostly because I love making bottles, but also because I think they turned out well!

Bottles, I'm really enjoying the neck of these

I started making some more of the decorated mugs in both 8-10 and 10-12 ounce sizes.

I finally have gotten around to testing some mason stains in a porcelain base to see how they will turn out in the salt kiln. I am running out of the cobalt concoction I made some years ago and want to see whether I can get a slightly brighter blue. We will see!
