This is what springtime looks like in a basement pottery studio. If only I could get my outdoor flower beds to be this plentiful. And if only I could put these in the veggie garden to attract pollinators!

Wow they're so pretty! Did you make these with a slab pressing the clay into a mould?

Jimena, most of the stamps are applied before the little dish is placed on the mold (a hump mold). I press the clay against the mold, but try not to press to hard so I don't flatten out the image. Then the last stamp is applied after I remove the dish from the mold (the very center of the flower design, it looks like little spokes, plus a tiny circle with three dots in the middle) so at least that part of the design is nice and crisp. The very center of the dish is supposed to be flat anyways, so I am not stamping a curved surface. Hope this helps!

I like the pottery you are doing. But I'm more interested in your basement studio. Could you possibly expand on what you have there? Thanks

The studio was renovated about two years after this blog post was written. Here are the before + after pics:
