So I've posted a bunch of new items for sale in the FuzzyChef Online Store. This is my first major firing with Lava Street on lots of my pieces, and I'm really loving it.

Pictured above is a "cassole", the traditional baking dish for the French classic, cassoulet. Made in the traditional conical shape, it's about 13" in diameter and holds a gallon and a half. You won't find this at Sur Le Table. For this and other stuff like salt pigs, I've created a new store category of ChefWare.

The kiln overfired slightly; I'm going to have to work on recalibrating it. However, the overfiring was great for the pieces it didn't ruin due to glazes running. For example, these two mugs turned out amazing:

swirly lava mugs

Anyway, lots of new stuff up, and more to come, so go shopping!

For one, I live on the West Coast and banana slugs are a quinessential NorthWest animal, like sea otters, sea lions, or tree octopi. Second, they're easy to sculpt and add to functional ware, and I've made molds of several different sizes. But most of all they look right covered with slime or grease, for which reason I have both sluggy spoon rests and sluggy soap dishes available. Also a slug mug, although hopefully that won't be covered in slime!

And no, I didn't go to UC Santa Cruz. Although I'm happy to make stuff for alumni.
