Our farmers market is still in SUMMER mode!

Made a Japanese fusion salad with ripe tomato, peach corn, shiso and ginger, plus good vinegar, EVOO, S&P. Served in a #ceramic bowl I made with 3 glazes in a pinwheel pattern - not that you can see much of it 😜

I knew my mug handles were way off, but didn't know how to approach their design. This breakdown of function and aesthetics gave me the basics I needed: www.oldforgecreations.co.uk/blog/mug-han...

Left is before, right is after. It's night and day.

Someone may have met their bitter end… quite a few turkey (I think) feathers around. On a hike in Fahnestock State Park in New York.

This glaze combo came out super-interesting, except a fleck of someone else’s glaze landed right in the middle.

I kind of like that random piece, though… an unlikely lost iceberg in a sea of molten lava. This bowl is a failure, but I’m keeping it for now. 😜

Bowls with glazes splashed on. Sometimes I wish glazes came out the way they are pre-glost firing, but the transformation in the kiln is part of the fun, so I'll see how these will turn out.

A work in progress feels appropriate for my first Bluesky post! 🫣
