I’ve been trying to make a soap dish, where the soap can drain or sit up out of the dish. I made some different shapes and sizes.

Square soap dish.

The soap dish has a grid, so the soap can drain.

Round soap dish.

Round soap dish.

I think the ‘grid’ is too small for the dish.

Merry Christmas and thank you to everyone who has supported me, through your purchases and positive comments. I have kept busy supplying the stores and galleries where I sell my pots, in Grand Forks, Castlegar and Nelson. Over the past 8 months, I have missed the face to face contact with everyone, and looking forward to when it is safe again. Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and happy New Year.

The weather in Trail is very HOT in the summer, so firing my kiln usually has to wait until September when the temperatures start to cool off. I almost have my kiln full with a bisque load ready for when I can start to fire again. Meanwhile, I keep making new pieces.

Redtangle dish.

I find I uaually keep some of my very small bowls in my cupboard as I have many uses for them.

Some new pieces I threw today and a bowl that is trimmed and drying.

Mugs, mugs, mugs….

I don’t enjoy making sets like dinner sets, mug sets, nesting bowls, but I do like making small sets that the pieces don’t have to match except for the glaze. I think that a single set is a good gift for someone just starting out on their own, or your Mom or Dad, sister or brother, or the hard to buy for friend..

This set would be a great Breakfast or Lunch set.

The plate is 7 1/2″

Plate is 6 1/2″, This set would be great for toast and juice, sandwich & milk., afternoon snack.
