Hey you all, we are looking to help out a friend. It’s not the normal pottery picture, but we all love our animals and a good conclusion.

Our neighbor’s mother passed and he now has to rehome her cats. They are about 9 and very sweet and well mannered. Up to date on their shots and spayed/neutered. The dark one is a male, the gray is a female.

These two really need a home, thus sharing on this account as well as my personal. If you would like more info on this please reach out. Please share so these two don’t end up at the shelter!

A nice medium sized face jug from Mary. There’s a bit of sgrafitto on this one too. Face jugs are wild, their history goes back to some of the earliest American crafts and traditionally used to keep kids out of the liquor. Today there are all different styles and designs from mild and tame to as ghastly and frightening as the maker can imagine. This one is pretty sweet and tame in comparison. Enjoy yet another rainy day!

“We cannot get out. We cannot get out. The end comes... drums, drums in the deep. They are coming”

Bren has a small army of facepots in the works, can’t wait to see how they turn out! They are currently residing in the kiln cooling off, they were put to the heat up to 2175, now the patient waiting game until they are cool enough to unload.
