With the help of two clay angels, Clayground was able to create its own pumpkin mold this year. Sadly, it is a little too late to make custom carved jack o'lanterns for this Halloween. However, we are aiming for August of 2018 to begin this offering. In the meantime, our "greenware" practice pumpkin is on display in the studio. Start thinking about what you want carved for next year! :D

Combining specialty glazes can yield some unexpected results...in a good way! Here is an application method that seems to suit my tastes very well and motivates me to make a bunch more. Here is a matte glaze called Cast Iron, which I applied to the bottom area of this coin bank.  A shiny new specialty glaze called Denim Daze was applied above. There was no overlap or layering of the two paints. What do you think?
