I thought the same!

The new kitchen piece is Amazing! I can see it on a lazy susan next to the stove with my favorite most used spices and EVOO along with wooden spoons. With the handle it can be portable for when my husband and I are both in the kitchen. Maybe you could make a raised ring in the bottom of it for setting your oil bottle and sell as a set? I DEFINITELY want one when you get it sorted and have gotten them made!

[@penningtondesignpottery]

Yes, there are so many uses for it, I'm excited! And thank you!

I've started making shrinkage rulers for each clay out of a paint stir stick. That way I dont have to re calculate everything every time. Just the initial measurement of the stopper. Then I can attempt to throw to my premade shrinkage ruler. I have the one from diamond core, but not all of my clays fit it exactly. And I was always looking on websites to find the shrinkage rates. Now I just grab the stick for the clay im using. It's still dependant on my skills etc. But it's helping dial it in a bit. I didn't come up with it. Another potter suggested doing it and it's been a useful hand-built tool. 😊

[@penningtondesignpottery]

That is a great suggestion! I'll have to make some of those. Thank you for the tip!

Love the tumbler with flowers!!

[@penningtondesignpottery]

Thank you peach!

Beautiful pots! Would love to see you glaze the sherry the sheep mug! Do you wax the bottoms of your pots? Neat idea for a kitchen caddy, was thinking it’d be great for flatwear, salt n pepper and sugar bowl on the table

[@penningtondesignpottery]

Yes, I think I will be doing a glazing video for Sherry! I only wax the pots that I am dipping in glaze, the blushed ones I do not.

[@cpnotill9264]

Love to see you throw the shots off the hump.😁 Is the white glaze crawling because its too thick?

[@penningtondesignpottery]

I'll be doing a video soon I think! The bucket of glaze seems to be the right thickness, but one thought is that the rims of the oil bottles are pretty thin, I throw them thinner because I am not trimming those ones, and it may make it so the glaze is not absorbing into the bisqueware as well.

[@rebeccasatko3571]

I love so many of your pieces, shape, sizes, colors, everything. Oh and glazes, beautiful!!! Where did you purchase the "black copper" glaze? Or did you make it? So pretty.

[@penningtondesignpottery]

Thank you! Copper Ore by Mayco.

[@rebeccasatko3571]

@@penningtondesignpottery Thank you Pennington.

[@micheledickey4066]

Have tou called the company that makes the shit glaze to see if there is something they can suggest? I just love your white pieces!

[@penningtondesignpottery]

Yes, I called them this week and I'll be trying a few different things!
