It’s that time of the year again: we’re gettin It’s that time of the year again: we’re getting ready to make our annual drive to Wisconsin to bicycle with my dad! 
While we’re gone, we will be putting our online (Etsy) shop on vacation mode.  If there’s something you would like to get before the end of October, make sure to get your orders in before Sunday night! (Our final round of shipping will be Monday).
And don’t worry, we’ll be reopening our online shop when we return, and plan on continuing to add pottery to it through the holidays!

We’re making progress on our restocks for @offic We’re making progress on our restocks for @officialopus40 and @greencottagehighfalls !  We thought we’d take a quick break to show you how we get the interior color in our mugs. 
The mugs shown in this clip just got their handles attached, and are leatherhard (meaning they haven’t been fired yet, and have a hardness level similar to cheddar cheese). 
We start by pouring colored slip into our mugs, then swirl the slip around so it coats the entire interior,  before dumping out the excess.  Once they set up and dry out a little more, we’ll go back in and clean up the mess on the rims from where the slip was poured out.

We’re working on a big round of glazing this wee We’re working on a big round of glazing this week in the studio! This whole kiln-load is full of Adirondack pieces, as well as some pieces that feature maps of Round Lake, Saratoga Lake, and Ballston Lake. They’ll all be coming with us to @marketsatroundlake this August!

We’ve been participating in @marketsatroundlake We’ve been participating in @marketsatroundlake for a handful of years now, and have gotten consistent requests for a map design of Round Lake and Little Round Lake.  And we finally made one! We applied our new Round Lake and Little Round Lake map design it to a bunch of different pieces ( trays, mugs, utensil holders), all of which we will be bringing to the event. Here’s a clip of me slip trailing the design onto a mug.

Since the surface design on our pottery consists o Since the surface design on our pottery consists of topographic maps of actual places, it’s important to us that the location of the map is incorporated onto the piece somewhere.  This is usually done with a silkscreen transfer (which we design and print onto newsprint here in our studio also). Here’s a clip showing how Zac applies a silkscreen transfer onto one of our utensil holders.  As you can see, this process is very similar to applying a temporary tattoo. 
All of the pots in this next round are for our next event @marketsatroundlake coming up in August.  We’ve added a bunch of Adirondack maps to our line for this event, and will be sharing sneak peeks of them soon!
