Over 120 custom ceramic buttons in today’s kiln opening
Top of kiln with some ceramic snowman pitchers and platters in our traditional and new wacky colors.
Oh and a cute small Halloween canister also
the lid to the Halloween canister and some more snowman platters on the bottom of kiln
Some of the new Halloween platters and tray we have done recently. Black cats, jack-o-lanterns and a flying witch. The swoop tray is still available and we are doing more platters.
Purple coat Santa platter
This has got to be one of my favorite Santa platters we have ever done. To me it is so different for so many reasons.
Yippee, we are doing some Halloween ceramic dinnerware again. This one in a 15 inch coup style platter with black cats and jack-o-lanterns in or new colorful wacky style.

Some new snoware and a traditional snoware triangle snowman platter
I’m loving the new colors but no worries we are still doing lots of traditional greens and burgundy snoware also.
More new wacky snoware and now wacky treeline in the latest kiln opening photos at expressly yours Colorado studio.

Whoops, I forgot to post these new colorful wacky snoware platters when they came out of the kiln.
This is our pug mill. To me it looks like a crazy clay recycler. When pressing some of our shapes and pieces (click here to see what the heck I’m talking about) we end up with lots of scraps. Unfortunately we can not use them because of all the air pockets in between all the scrap pieces. Air pockets equals exploding pieces in the kilns.
So we have this contraptions. Our pug mill. It takes all our scraps and grinds them up (very scarily I might add) and uses vacuum and a lot of torque and produces big hug worm like play doe looking extractions that we can later use to press with.
It has taken me about 10 months to get it almost ready and just in time as we are out of clay.
I love our clay it is the creamy color original clay that we press and cast with.
Hopefully I’m close to having this scary mangler looking contraption ready to go. We have 28 5 gallon buckets of scrap clay to recycle and I happen to be completely out of pressing clay.
evil pug mill
notice my warning to myself. Keep hands away.
little more work and we will start it up
ceramic Santa serving piece
New Santa pieces from our “Claus” line coming out of kiln. This is a deep oval serving platter or bowl coming out of kiln an Expressly Yours studio, Centennial Colorado.
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.
