Fall season

The Fall is here and it has been a lot cooler than the previous years. The heat is on since the end of September, however pots are still not drying as fast as they should be.....I made some mugs 2 weeks ago and they weren't dry enough to trim until last Friday. And of course I didn't have enough time on Friday night to trim all 7 of them and attach handles on them. I ended up bringing all of them home (and yes it was a bit dangerous, but I made it home). I even put on the handles on the same evening, so they are all done now. Here are two of them (and they are square mugs):

BTW, I also submitted the registration form for this year's Winter Pottery and Arts Sale and will find out if I get in at the end of the month.

Garlic keepers and soup bowls And my TODO list is getting slightly longer.  My mom asked me to make a few mugs for her friends in Hong Kong.  My parents have been great supporters of my work and this is just to show that they think that their friends might like them as well. Still need to make more to fill the kiln, but I am happy with the accomplishment so far. Mugs to be
