This weeks goal is to check out the new catalog pages.

Added another page to the catalog today called Reading Rainbow. It includes things related to reading — books, bookends, and figures reading books. Reading Rainbow

Some of the bookends are plain and can accommodate a variety of different add-ons. Be creative! The book bookends are nice done in a faux leather finish. Why not make a pair for your child or grandchild that is related to their favorite passion? Then buy a book or two to make a special gift.

Reading Rainbow —  Reading & Ceramics

Here are pictures from the Glaze Raking Workshop we attended at OCS last month.

We used thinned concepts colors in squeeze bottles to add color; then “raked” through it with the tip of a liner brush. The plates were done on a turntable. After applying clear glaze the pieces were then fired.

This technique will be offered on a bowl or plate during each of the Open Classes sometime during the next few weeks. Since it doesn’t take much time to do, students will still be able to work on their regular projects. Even the kids will have fun doing this project.

So come and learn a new technique!

Finished Deck the Halls and The Village Square catalog pages. 

We have some other Christmas decorations that may not be complete so they are not listed. If we can find all the pieces they will be added to the Deck the Halls page later. Please remember that there are lots more Christmas items than what we have here but you need to check out the special pages. Deck the Halls

We only have a few village buildings but you may want to add to collections that you already have and there are lots of accessory pieces. Buildings of other types are also included here. The Village Square

The Santa Stuff page is posted and I am now working on Deck the Halls.

Please remember to also check out the following:

• Oh Tannenbaum for Christmas trees
• Old World Santas for highly detailed Santas (usually paint with Fashenhues)
• Santa Stuff for simple Santas and accessories (boots, bags, hangers, etc.)
• Ornaments for All Occasions includes mini-molds. assorted ornaments, cookie-cutter ornaments, and the Alberta ornament collection. Why not let the kids pick out a special ornament for friends, relatives, teachers, and so on. They are only $2.00 and there are about 400 to choose from
• Christmas in the Kitchen — upcoming page for plates, dishes, ice buckets, teapots, snack stacks, etc. These make lovely inexpensive, handmade gifts and are especially nice if you add some candy, cookies, teabags, hot chocolate, or snacks.

We’re starting to think a lot about Christmas.

Updating the Catalog

• Today I starting working on updating the catalog pages, presently Santa Stuff.  It is all about Santas and Santa accessories such as hats, bags, boots, mugs, plates, stocking hangers, candle climbers and so on.
  

  This page is not yet published

• Old World Santas have their own page since there are 45 of them Old World Santas. Old World Santas. 
• There are also lots of Santa-type ornaments on our many Ornament pages Ornaments for All Occasions

There are other pages on the catalog Table of Contents that still need to be created.

Deck the Halls is the next Christmas page to be added.

And there are photos, descriptions, sizes, and price changes that also need to be made on pages already there.  Always check with me on prices in case there has been a recent change.

There are so many Christmas items that we cannot pour all of them..
However, you can order whatever you want …
and most of them can be painted by the kids.
