Knead the clay
Shape playful forms
Sun dry slowly
Apply shiny varnish
Soft earth is rolled and warmed between small palms right at the sunny kitchen table.
Paws, ears, and little smiling faces are hand-pinched with thumbprints left proudly intact.
Finished figurines rest on wooden trays by the window until they are ready for the kiln.
A fresh coat of glossy paint brings every creature to life with a cheerful, sunny finish.
Testing new pastel glazes and naming the cats
This weekend brought a brand new batch of miniature trinket bowls dipped in soft peach and buttery cream. Every little dish is hand-pinched and painted before dinner, leaving charming brush marks that make each one completely one-of-a-kind.
We also spent Saturday afternoon giving official names to the sleepy cat figurines. If one kitty's ears turn out slightly different sizes, that is simply how it decided it looked happiest sitting on the wooden shelf.
