[@marygleason1189]

Love all the textures and colors. Hope you have a great Easter!

[@andreamcveety8193]

I absolutely love the plate. It is beautiful!!!

[@Reiki19607]

Love all of the designs although the plates with the tree of life are my favorite!! They are beautiful!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you!

[@tegannottelling]

Light is great 🙂 Also Love the first vase or bottle sea green with the tree of life, if you do make it into a soap dispenser can you please do a build video on that kind of thing? Or because I need one and would love your guidance, a pottery Mortar and Pestle? thank you, oh and Happy Ishtar or Easter whichever is your preference. 💝

Great kiln opening. I love your plate so pretty.

[@joannpounders5567]

Happy Easter and thanks for sharing! Back on your feet, feeling better, and working your fingers to the bone!! I see those band aids on your fingers! 😊 Love the tree plates and the flasks...also your shirt, LOL! How ironic that you are wearing it today, as for I'm counting on the kiln gods to be good to me! Have just put some large slab-built bonsai pots put into a glaze fire tonight and hoping all goes well. I've been having some trouble with my large pots cracking on the bottom. Love your videos! Cheers to you!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Lol, love my pottery shirts, and any little prayers to the kiln gods is a good thing. Praying for your bonsai pots!

[@joannpounders5567]

@@hobblecreekpottery Thanks for your prayers! My bonsai pot firing was a success! No cracks!!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Woohoo!

[@andreamcveety8193]

That is the design you should go with!

[@Mariede425]

Hi T, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE those plates! (the ones with the tree stencils) you are such an amazing artist! thank You for sharing and giving me inspiration!

[@walkerpottery9296-Natalie]

Those plates are gorgeous! The purple is just beautiful! You’ve got some talented potters at your studio. Those pendants will sell like hotcakes! What kind of tape do you use? Was that taped onto bisque & do you need to sand smooth - incredibly detailed - I bet those took a long time to make! Great kiln opening - you seem in great spirits like you’re feeling better. So happy to spend time with you. 🥰

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Yes, finally feeling better thank goodness. My students are incredible. I'm so proud of them. The tape is found on Amazon and it's painter's tape that comes in different sizes down to an 1/8 inch thickness. It does take a lot of time measuring and taping off.

Hi. Another successful kiln opening. Love the plates. The little mini things that came out of the kiln, what did you say they were called?

[@hobblecreekpottery]

They are pendants for jewelry. 😀

[@barbarac4138]

Just got my stencils! Hope to have a lot of fun with them.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Woohoo!

[@micheledickey4066]

Awesome!!!?

[@reginahoover7117]

I wish we had people in my area that would rent out kiln space. Every studio and pottery shop in this area keeps telling me that nobody shares their kiln because they don’t know if their stuff will destroy their kiln.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

That is so sad. Where's the trust. I to tell people that it the clay has to be a cone 5/6 and I've never had any issues.
