July Shop Update

Spent yesterday photographing pottery, then processing the photos & creating the online listings. This is the first shop update since May, due to one damn thing after another interfering with my firing schedule! But it's up now. 🙂

A few listings I was particularly pleased with: 

• This bowl! I didn't love this bowl when I first unloaded it. I thought the gray was too dark & the contrast too harsh. Over the last few days of sanding, sorting, pricing, & packing, I kept coming back to this one. It's not harsh, I decided; it's dramatic. If I put it on a banding wheel & spin it (which I did, lol) it looks like, Sunrise, Sunset; Sunrise, Sunset. 
  
• I made a set of mugs! Not entirely on purpose; I just made a couple dozen of a similar design & 6 of them happened to match surprisingly well. I'm never trying for identical - that's a standard that we've absorbed through out machine-driven culture, & it doesn't interest me. But almost matching? That creates an interesting tension. I almost never make sets, & who knows when I'll be inspired to declare one again, so if you've been looking for a set of my mugs, now's your chance. 
  
  
  
• And, of course, the little sippers! I made so many of these. They were just too fun to stop! 
  
  
  If you are thinking of making a purchase today, you might want to become a paid subscriber to my Patreon - there's a coupon code for 10% off in the most recent post - and paid memberships start at just $1.50 a month. If you're purchasing something, that membership would pay for itself right out of the gate.

Thanks for being here & stay cool today! It's meant to be in the high 80s here in Maine with 74% humidity. It's 10 o'clock in the morning & I'm glowing like a horse! Hope it's cooler where you are.
