Tuesday

Today I carried on from yesterday, decorating drinking bowls. It seems to be taking forever to make a kiln load of pots this time around - everything is small or flat. I still have a lot of small pots to make to send to Japan, but I'm stressing about getting a kiln full of pots in time for the firing deadline. Here's a link to an album of pictures of this month's production.
I decided I should take a bit of pressure off and make some bigger pots. I felt back in my comfort zone today with these 8lb jugs. I'll make some more tomorrow, or maybe some bigger jugs if I feel well enough. Man flu is coming over me this evening, so I'm feeling sorry for myself. A hot bath and an early night is called for I think.

Here's a short film from today




Goodnight all

The weather is no help-we've just had pasta with a nicely fiery tomato sauce to counteract it!

Watched the video and within seconds I thought....must make some bread!!

Lovely jugs

Like you I get tired with small pots pretty quickly and always have some bigger pots in the kiln even if they don't pack as neatly or sell as quickly as the little guys. Feel better.

If I catch the flu, will it help me make pots as beautiful as yours? :)
Hope you feel better and thanks for taking the time to make the film clips.
