Some of the finished mugs

I found 20 white bisque mugs in my closet that I’d been saving for over 30 years. They were made around the time Devin drew designs on the floor of my studio. I saved them and knew I could use them one day, as I found them delightful.

Devin is 40 now and has a baby of his own. It brought back wonderful memories of the drawings and keeping him busy so that I could paint too.

I had never glazed pottery before, so I treated the glazes like when I paint with watercolor. First I poured a watered-down glaze and let streaming lines create texture. Then I got out my trusty brush to draw his designs in black. Nancy Westvig fired and clear-glazed 20 cups. I enjoyed collaborating with her! I’ll have the mugs at the Eastside Artists Show and Sale, along with paintings, cards, and the work of many other artists.

(Update:  The 2025 EA Show and Sale is now past. Thank you to everyone who stopped by!)
