More mugs



Our May weather was pretty nice in Ottawa which was excellent.  However, for someone like me who has more than one hobby was tough, especially my other hobby is golf. 🏌
I've been trying to find time for both of my hobbies, but sometime my focus during the nice weather months go toward golfing.  Well, consider that our nice weather months are always too short, I think that's alright.  😆😆😆
"You Got This"
The first thing I did in May was to finish off those big "mugs to be" from last month.  And I'd done something a little different to them.  I made 4 of them "Inspirational" mugs.  They all have "You Got This" message on them.  Let's see how they turn out.
The new mugs that are still drying, you can tell by the clay colour between these and those big mugs above.

Did I ever mention I like making mugs?  Well there are a couple of reasons for this; first I like the challenge because there are more steps for making mugs than the kind of bowls I make.  Secondly, mugs are also filler in the kiln especially when I have bigger size bowls and plates.  
It's June 3 today as I am writing this.  And I didn't make anything this weekend. (Birthday celebrations for 2 very important men in my life; my dad and my husband).  Let's see if I will have anything to show for June.  😜

 Off to do more birthday celebrations!

P.S.  Forgot to mention...4 of my mugs traveled with my parents to Hong Kong and found themselves  good homes.  And one of my garlic keepers also found a good home.

Great Bowls of Fire 2011

I was delighted to take part of the Ottawa Guild of Potters' Great Bowls of Fire . This is an annual event raising funds for the Ottawa Food Bank. I was one of the bowl markers and helped a bit of the set up. My bowls are the dark blue ones at the bottom of the picture.

January 2018 update

January 31, great day to conclude the work I've done for the first month of the year.  I guess it's also a great start to check off some items on my list for this year.  :) Here are the pieces I made in January.  I cheated a bit on one of the garlic keepers as I started that at the end of December.  Some bowls for Great Bowls of Fire were made and a number of mugs as well. 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
