So I am planning on selling at the Castle Rock Farmers Market (first time) next Saturday from 8:00AM to 12:00 noon.  I thought I would make some pottery that is in SEASON so to speak.  Raspberries,corn,veggies,etc.

Now I have been taught not to place holes in the bottom since glaze can tend to pool there and clogs them up.  However, I am using a matt glaze so I thought I’d give it a try?  I added little plates to catch the water or juice from the berries?

Than since I was on a roll, I made little cheese plates as well.  I have seen some farmer’s GOAT CHEESE and thought this might be a hit?

I played around with the knobs on TOP as i think I have a nice runny glaze for these and it will look better on this shape?  Maybe?

Lastly a few Soup Tureen’s they seem to be a hit with ladles.
