Back to Pottery

After a six-month break, I headed back to the pottery studio last week.

I quickly discovered that I wasn't as adept using the wheel as I had been when I stopped last June. I'll have to go slowly, reminding myself what I should be doing step by step. The pots I made - using brown clay this time - were small.

I find hand building easier. In my hand-building studio time, I made a bowl and a squirrel...(I hope its tail doesn't fall off. It's fragile, especially when the clay is wet.)

 

I also glazed some leaf-shaped plates I made last spring.

There was also a milestone birthday - with cake... Lots of fun in the studio... It was nice to be back!
