the forever pot

It’s always a good feeling to finish a project, especially this one, for some reason this pot took me forever to finish. Granted I do work extremely slow, but come on, I started it way back when Heath was my studio mate! Slowly but surely it started to fall behind on the priorities list (right after popping balloons) so I decided, after a long game of balloon popping, to buck up and finish this pot and what do you know 2 weeks later it’s done.

Two mugs and a bowl

A couple of mugs with a heavy textured pattern for the wood fire

And a bowl that I plan on making a mold from

the end.

Oh yeah, I have a blog

Considering that I was a stay at home dad by day and a part-time sales associate at the dollar tree by night this summer (don’t even think about stealing my movie idea Hollywood!) , I feel like what little time I spent at the studio was productive. I was able to make some molds and quite a few pots.

Here are some mugs, the cups are casts from a mold I made this summer and the handles are pulled and attached afterward. Another good thing about casting is I have plenty of opportunities to ruin the mugs with bad handles before I get it right, that is if I ever get it right.

Here is a crazy pitcher I made by taking two failed projects, combining them to make a third slightly less, but maybe shamefully more of a failed project, but at least I have something to show for all the time and effort put into it.
