Spectacular new colorful snowman platters
Is spectacular too modest of a description for these new prototype round snowman platters that Terry and Michele have been doing? These are awesome. Very unique and different from our traditional snoware colors. I will get some better photos up soon. Click the photos for larger images.
July 10th kiln opening photos
Lots of our snowman ceramic platters, plates, bowls, mini dippers, chip and dips and some of the supersize humongous snowman cups from our snoware collection in these kiln opening photos. Some of our new flourish line also.

Wavy and mini cake pedestals
Here are two of the pedestals that were finally dry enough to remove from the molds they were sitting in after I attached them a couple days ago. Although they were cast on the 15th and put together on the 16th, they still have a lot of drying to do. The moist air and snow [...]
Slip casting ceramic molds
Got the slip casting table going again. It is very easy to neglect. Slip is a liquid type clay that we pump into ceramic molds. It gets dried out fairly quickly when I forget about it for more than 3 or 4 days. I think my camera may have got dusty or I have wrong [...]
