A set of plates from recycled stoneware. Gonna make a set for each of my kids. Thrown to 12” and should end up around 10.5” Thrown onto a silicone baking pad (on the bat) to facilitate removing from bat... #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #plates #stoneware #recycledclay #cone6clay #mtlebanonpa

Reclaiming some clay. This is ^6 stoneware scraps saved in a 2 gallon bucket, immersed in water and blended with a paint mixer on my electric drill. A combo of colors that will end up being light tan or off white... #pottersofbluesky #thistleglenpottery #cone6clay #clayreclaim #recycledstoneware

Blending porcelain & white stoneware for future crystalline glazed pieces. Also air drying a couple of oval bakers that will (hopefully) be dry enough to fire in time for the Pittsburgh Potters Tour on 20-21 September... #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #ovalbakingdish #cone6clay #mtlebanonpa

Altered breakfast (or soup, chili, etc.) bowls air drying in the backyard. I love the feel of these shapes in the hand. Should be finished in time to present to the staff at UU Sunnyhill as holiday gifts... #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #stoneware #breakfastbowls #cone6clay #mtlebanonpa

The last of the pots that will go into the upcoming bisque firing once adequately air dried. These small pitchers are made with Standard Ceramics cone 6 stoneware. Handles are always a challenge... #thistleglenpottery #pottersofbluesky #standardceramics #cone6clay #pitchers #stoneware #mtlebanonpa
