This is today's make, pancheons and shallow dishes of various size and proportion, the largest dish is about 16 inches across, which is as wide as will fit in my bisc kiln.
Finger wipe deco on a 3 pound jar.
Green slip combed on a 6 pound jar
Big tankard with applied deco
Force drying a pancheon - lots of that going on at the moment.
And another big tankard, inspired by my walk through the orchard.
Got to go, more soon
Happy Sunday all.

Very nice photos of some very nice work, Douglas. I especially like the steamy pot.
The tankards look enormous, like 18" tall or something. I assume they're nearly standard sized. It's just the close-up that makes them look so large.
Very nice. Are you anywhere near London? My wife and I will be there Jan. 31 I think, but just for a day.
Cheers,
Michael
Wow, I love the photo of force drying the pancheon - it looks like it's glowing! The way your slip breaks over the applied decoration on your pots is lovely as well - good luck getting everything through for the firing!
Hey Mr. Fitch. Nice pots as usual.
nice steam action..
the "finger wipe deco" looks great.. i love that
Good to some wet clay !
Gorgeous pots!
Hello everybody and thank you.
Cheers Michael - we're about 170 miles South West of London. I will have just fired the kiln the day before, so all the pots will be inside still cooling so I wouldn't have much to show you, apart from my little shed, but it'd be good to meet you. I think the tankards are about 9" tall - I'll measure them tomorrow.
Kip, that's something I think about when I mix my slip, not to make it too thick. I love the way that slip breaks on sprigs and rims etc. and hangs in incised lines etc. Some of the tankards have a black slip underneath the white, just to exagerate the effect.
