This was made with another new Mugg Plugg, I think it's the 942. However, when cutting the form I messed up. It was too big then I was cutting on the fly and made it too small at the top. I made lemons from lemonade and made this little v-shape. I like it. I am worried that it will not have fit for purpose though and is too small and will tip over. We will see once it comes through glaze firing.

Still playing with a puki foot and designing a new bowl around it. These are the same dimensions except one is taller than the other. I feel like this is a nice serving bowl, or a bowl for a lot of ice cream. I plan on making a few more. I think I might also try to create a lid for for a jar in the future.


I was looking at this one drying and decided to try it out as a yarn bowl. I think it's deep enough. I forgot how difficult it is to carve the swirly thing.

Practicing my puki techniques as well as trying out a new Mugg Plugg.

This first one is with a puki bottom slightly raised.


This one is the Mugg Plugg TCC which has a curved bottom. I'm not sure I really got the curve feel to it. I'm going to have to try this one a few more times.




I do really like the puki bottom.

I had the opportunity to go to a workshop with Annie Chrietzberg at the Village Potters Guild in Plymouth, MI. It was a fantastic experience.

I first learned of Annie through Clayshare and had taken a few online workshops with her over the past few years. One that I would highly recommend is her January cups class which over the last few years has gone through her entire repertoire of cups.

There were two things I was really looking to get out of the class and I feel like I made progress on both. The first was how to use a puki. The puki is a way to create a footring on a hand built object. The second is hollow handles.

I've been in Michigan weekly for work for over a year now so all I had to do was drive a bit. The Village Potters Guild is a lovely little studio that I wish was closer to where I was working. Everyone there was so helpful. The food was some of the best I've ever had at a workshop. All in all it was a great two days. We managed to make 5 projects in the two days.




Technically I was supposed to make one of Annie's squirrels, but mine really wanted to be a sheep :)

This is my favorite of the projects from class. I immediately started using it in my purse. Definitely going to make a few more.

This is my second project from sewing glass. How cute are the eggs and the farm scene?
