The new kitchen piece is Amazing! I can see it on a lazy susan next to the stove with my favorite most used spices and EVOO along with wooden spoons. With the handle it can be portable for when my husband and I are both in the kitchen. Maybe you could make a raised ring in the bottom of it for setting your oil bottle and sell as a set? I DEFINITELY want one when you get it sorted and have gotten them made!

I thought the same!

I've started making shrinkage rulers for each clay out of a paint stir stick. That way I dont have to re calculate everything every time. Just the initial measurement of the stopper. Then I can attempt to throw to my premade shrinkage ruler. I have the one from diamond core, but not all of my clays fit it exactly. And I was always looking on websites to find the shrinkage rates. Now I just grab the stick for the clay im using. It's still dependant on my skills etc. But it's helping dial it in a bit. I didn't come up with it. Another potter suggested doing it and it's been a useful hand-built tool. 😊

Thank you peach!

Beautiful pots! Would love to see you glaze the sherry the sheep mug! Do you wax the bottoms of your pots? Neat idea for a kitchen caddy, was thinking it’d be great for flatwear, salt n pepper and sugar bowl on the table

Yes, I think I will be doing a glazing video for Sherry! I only wax the pots that I am dipping in glaze, the blushed ones I do not.

I love so many of your pieces, shape, sizes, colors, everything. Oh and glazes, beautiful!!! Where did you purchase the "black copper" glaze? Or did you make it? So pretty.

@@penningtondesignpottery Thank you Pennington.

Love to see you throw the shots off the hump.😁 Is the white glaze crawling because its too thick?

I'll be doing a video soon I think! The bucket of glaze seems to be the right thickness, but one thought is that the rims of the oil bottles are pretty thin, I throw them thinner because I am not trimming those ones, and it may make it so the glaze is not absorbing into the bisqueware as well.

Have tou called the company that makes the shit glaze to see if there is something they can suggest? I just love your white pieces!
