About a month before the 2011 Knitters Frolic I went into the studio and threw 12 yarn bowls for the Purple Purl’s booth. Though the Frolic is over (and the bowls did extremely well!) I wanted to share a few pics of them here. My beauties – fresh off the wheel. This is when they’re…

Just a random smattering of what I’ve been up to lately – Enjoy! Following on the fun I had with my swirly mugs I tried to take the same technique to this vase. One thing I’m realizing is that the shellac doesn’t form a complete barrier against the underglaze, but I kind of like it…

These lovelies, just out of the kiln; There is a fun technique involved here that I just learned, and that I think I will be addicted to for a while. It’s hard to tell in the photo, but not only is the filigree design a different colour than the mug body, but it’s in relief.…

These ones will be cute, promise. I was getting bored of throwing the same shape every time, so I’ve gone and had a little fun with this round. This is Fred. He likes yarn, probably as much as I do. (Ahem) rear view; Fred has been created from a mold, so I can make a…

I’d like to post some of the pottery I have available right now, to make some shelf space for when I start throwing again in the New Year. These pieces have never made it to my Etsy site because I don’t like to ship pottery – a) it’s costly and b) it’s fragile stuff. I’ve…

Enough about jewellery! Though I have some lovely new pieces coming soon I wanted to take this opportunity to share some of the pottery that will be in the Pre-Christmas craft sale on November 24th. This dinner plate was hand painted – inspired by Mt. Kiluea in Hawaii. This large serving plate has a raised…

When Kris and I were in Hawaii, (what a strange place to think of cold-weather drinks) I came up with an idea for combining two of my loves into a cute, comfy drinking vessel that would feel cozy in your hands when filled with hot yummy drinks. I came back to discover that the concept…

Late night double posting today; I wanted to share some things I just got out of the kiln – these are yarn bowls and yarn bells for knitting and crochet. The construction is simple and elegant, you place your ball of yarn either in the bell or in the bowl, thread your yarn through the…

Just some shots of recent work here, the first cosy mug has been finished and last night I made a cute little bracelet with Tanis’ Blue Label Grape =o) Hand-thrown, two-handed, post-skating, hot chocolate wooly teacup =o) The crochet pattern is called ‘wave’ and the colourway is Stormy by Tanis Fiber Arts. More Tanis goodness…

There is nothing more satisfying than getting a treat from the kiln. This weeks haul included this gorgeous, wide mouth shallow serving bowl. The Tanin Red glaze gave it a lovely bronzing effect along one side. This pitcher took advantage of the last dredges of purple glaze, I love the colour combo! These last two…
