Hello!

I keep forgetting to get pictures of the pots when I am at the studio. Alas, I have finally done it. My lovely wife let me have a “me day” this past Monday. She took Pax up north and sewed with her mom. What did I do all day long? I made pots big guy.

All these pots are unfinished. I wanted to give you a glance at what I have been up to for the last month or so. I am making pots I really enjoy using in the kitchen. This includes bowls, cups, and mugs. Perhaps some vases will come later, along with some larger works.
