Studio time

 This morning was dry but cold....I ventured out mid morning having waited for the sun to warm the studio a little! 

It was the turn of the tiny bowls and vases/jars to be finished...turning and stamping and marking. 



Lunch followed...then throwing ..three boxes and three vases.


and of course, leaving tools and wheel clean and ready for next time!




By four o'clock it was getting decidedly chilly so pack up and retreat to the house to warm up...and do a bit more basting.  Second quarter started!


I'm gradually discovering more about the phone. Unfortunately I can't have Instagram or Threads on it..which is strange as like fb and whatsapp they are both from meta!

There are some ways around....I can use the tablet (and probably the old phone) to share a fb post to threads. No joy with Insta as the sd card with all the pictures is in the new phone..although that needs investigating as it hasn't had one in it for a while. It wont take photos from google pics..a competitor!!

This will take more figuring out. Possibly taking photos with the old phone.....we'll see!!

Have you seen the pottery throw down.
Hubby and I love watching it. And we can’t do pottery at all.
I’m sure you could match anyone on that show.
Your works are lovely

to have the ability to pre design to a brief...then produce under pressure..across the wide spectrum of skills. I don't know if I could!

Such creativity. I do admire your skills and would love to have even one tenth of that ability.

Oh Lord, a new phone! That will take some adapting! (I'm obviously behind on your posts.)

As always, your pottery looks beautiful. A good variety of shapes.

Your potter looks lovely. Please show us a photo after glazing. I am curious about the final colors. Will all these pieces go to the gallery for sale?

gz said...

I'm frustrated at present..but after 14 years of not much potting....but I've been doing this properly...on and off due to personal circumstances...since the early 70s...ability and skills have been built by a lot of wirk

Exploring a new phone is always daunting - very strange that Insta and Threads can't be loaded though. I wonder what those restrictions are caused by? I am always amazed by your talents.

I really like your pottery you've made. If you lived closer I'd buy some off you.

Gave in today and opened an FB account so that i can access community notices at the residents association fb site for this bay. What a frustrating and anger inducing experience.... good luck with the new phone
