 I found a tutorial a while back on making frog jars! I made them two ways. The first way is to throw the base and put a rim inside the top of the jar, then handbuild a lid so that the lid sits inside the top of the jar. The first jar was made that way. The second way is to make a jar on the wheel and then throw the lid the way I throw lids for urns, so that it sits on top. This is the second video. Which do you like? I am making more and they should be ready in about a week! 

 I recently found these, and I thought they were really lovely! They are in very good shape, and I clean them up a bit. The petroglyphs have a little shading on them, but hey – they are vintage! You can find these in my Etsy shop, Northern Woods Studio!

 For the summer, I am taking orders for a limited number of custom urns. Please check them out in my etsy shop. This listing is for one, but there are a number of them listed: https://www.etsy.com/listing/570867068/urn-pet-urn-dog-urn-cremation-urn-cat?click_key=9a4f1d97e7382b5edd906a1ad8855b6e433d5b1e%3A570867068&click_sum=7b92acad&ga_search_query=custom%2Burn&ref=shop_items_search_7&frs=1

 Morning, I have a sea turtle mug and a sea turtle little planter available and I'm glazing 4 more sea turtle mugs today which should be ready to go by this weekend!!  My sales website is found here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/NorthernWoodsStudio?ref=seller-platform-mcnav

I love sea turtles, as most of us do. I recently started making sea turtle mugs, and also some ornaments. I have one of these in my shop, or I can custom make one for you!

This is an awesome glaze I use - it starts with deep firebrick, and two other glazes on top! 

For those interested, here is my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/northern_woods_studio/ I have some new glaze combos and I'm narrowing my focus down to just a few. Here are some new ones: Here are some of the ones I have chosen as my main palettes: 

I am loving the Potters Choice glazes by Amaco! They layer beautifully, and flow like cone 10 reduction glazes. Here are some of the new combos I tried on white Laguna clay, cone 5, no hold.

I will be having an Open House at my studio Thanksgiving weekend, from Friday to Sunday. My studio is located at 326 Route 28N, one mile north of North Creek. Look for the sign and the Open flag! I will be offering my silver and copper jewelry and pottery and a 10 to 20% sale. I hope to see you there!
