Getting on with it

 Back to cold and wet..so I wasn't exactly enthusiastic to get out there!!

One wee moon vase and six bud vases thrown this morning..and after a decent lunch, I increased the weight of clay to two pounds (normally I'd work in metric ..but these scales are imperial measure!) and threw five bowls.

Thinking of the shapes I'd like to make, practicing techniques. Getting used to this clay again if nothing else.

I'll have to watch that they don't get to the right stage of drying when I have to be busy doing other things!!

Beautiful pottery!
Soon you'll have a large collection to sell at the gallery.
We got a rain/light snow mix last night. I hope we get some sun to melt off the ice.

Nice bowls! I like different shapes for different things. I think I first found your blog through some sort of pottery search. Lovely to see. you getting back to it.
Meanwhile my actual studio is still way to cold for me to function in, so I'll continue upstairs in my sunroom for a while.
We go on Day Light Savings on Sunday. I am not a happy camper!

They do look truly amazing. If Pirate has been gone 2 years then it is well over 2 years I have been visiting - hugs to you, so glad that you had a nice reminisce.

I love your work, I've always fancied having a go at pottery but the opportunity has never come up.
