Made some mugs from recycled ^6 stoneware scraps. A variety of forms and sizes. They’ll go into the bisque kiln when I have a full load of pots to fire. #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #recycledclay #cone6clay #mugs #mtlebanonpa #stoneware

Been a while since I've been in the pottery workshop. Made a series of bowls in red stoneware for my 17 month old granddaughter Mia. I'll use a variety of glazes to make it interesting for her. #thistleglenpottery #pottersonbluesky #cone6clay #standardceramicsclay #stoneware #mtlebanonpa #bowls

The last of the pots that will go into the upcoming bisque firing once adequately air dried. These small pitchers are made with Standard Ceramics cone 6 stoneware. Handles are always a challenge... #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #standardceramics #cone6clay #pitchers #stoneware #mtlebanonpa

Blending porcelain & white stoneware for future crystalline glazed pieces. Also air drying a couple of oval bakers that will (hopefully) be dry enough to fire in time for the Pittsburgh Potters Tour on 20-21 September... #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #ovalbakingdish #cone6clay #mtlebanonpa

Workshop session this morning: set of four 10" plates for my son and daughter-in-law. Brown Cone 6 Standard Ceramics stoneware clay body. They will choose the glaze from the six that I have available #thistleglenpottery #clayplates #cone6clay #stoneware #plates #standardceramics #mtlebanonpa

Altered breakfast (or soup, chili, etc.) bowls air drying in the backyard. I love the feel of these shapes in the hand. Should be finished in time to present to the staff at UU Sunnyhill as holiday gifts... #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #stoneware #breakfastbowls #cone6clay #mtlebanonpa

Reclaiming some clay. This is ^6 stoneware scraps saved in a 2 gallon bucket, immersed in water and blended with a paint mixer on my electric drill. A combo of colors that will end up being light tan or off white... #pottersofbluesky #thistleglenpottery #cone6clay #clayreclaim #recycledstoneware

A set of plates from recycled stoneware. Gonna make a set for each of my kids.

I've been at this for about 26 years and I still struggle with pulled handles! I prefer a handle that accommodates 3 fingers inside, many folk prefer 2 fingers. Not sure how many fingers these will accommodate when finished #thistleglenpottery #pottersonbluesky #stonewaremugs #cone6clay #mtlebanonpa
