Not Enough Hours In The Day

Y'all, it is a real struggle.  I haven't posted here since two weeks before Mother's Day.  I also don't think I've spent more than a few hours total in the studio since that time either.  There has just been too much going on! 

Here are some pictures of things.

This is a casserole that I showed pictures of while I was working on it.  This is at Buffalo Creek Gallery now.  

A vase that is kind of interesting.

I kind of like vases in neutral colors.  That way the flowers that you put in it are what you focus on.  This could also be a utensil holder.  This is not at either gallery right now.  If you are interested in seeing this in person, let me know.  I will make that happen.

I made this platter several months ago, but just found this picture.  I think it turned out pretty nice.  This is also available at Buffalo Creek Gallery.

Yesterday I realized that I am almost out of mugs again!  There are still several at Buffalo Creek Gallery, but I think there is only one at A Griffin Pottery right now that has a handle.  (There are lots of cups without handles though!)  

I have these 8 plus 8 more that are ready to be glazed, so I will be able to restock mugs soon.

I made these bowls a few weeks ago.  It was probably the only Saturday that I've been working in the studio since early May.

It was really hot that day, so I got them dry enough to trim the same day!  These are also ready to glaze.

Today is the last day of May.  I am off in the morning to go grade AP Calculus Exams for a week.  I always feel like summer doesn't really start until I get back from grading exams.  This year, I'll have a week at home and then we head out for our family vacation.  I guess the reason I'm telling you all this is to let you know that I'm still not going to be around to do pottery much for the next few weeks. 

It would make things so much easier for me if I could figure out how to be in two places at once. 

Did You Realize?

Mother's Day is about two weeks away!  Handmade pottery makes a very nice Mother's Day gift.

Stop by A Griffin Pottery or Buffalo Creek Gallery and check out all the nice things that are available.

Here are some of my favorites:

Wine Mugs

I have a large selection of wine cups available both at Buffalo Creek Gallery and at A Griffin Pottery.  

Egg Separators

I keep these little guys in both galleries, so you should be able to find one no matter which place you are able to visit.

Soup Tureen

This large soup tureen is at Buffalo Creek Gallery.  There are also soup bowls available that will coordinate.

Vase (or Utensil Holder) and Cookie Jar

These two items are at Buffalo Creek Gallery.  This has become one of my favorite glaze combinations.  There are several more pieces at the gallery in these same colors.

Small Tray

Like the turtle on this tray?  He is available at A Griffin Pottery.

Vase or Utensil Holder

This large vase is one of the latest items out of the kiln at A Griffin Pottery.

Small Casserole

This casserole is perfect for two and is available at A Griffin Pottery.

Small Casserole

This one is approximately the same size as the tan dish pictured above and is also available at A Griffin Pottery.
