Getting Architectural

The cut feet bowls have got bigger. I'm not sure about the feet, but they are coming along better. The first was a bit Gothic!
Perhaps I might try throwing a profile then cutting it to make feet. If Gary can do it for handles!!....
Wine cups and small bowls
A little light sgraffito, then some slipwriting to relax. (!?!)

Market day!!

But not a lot of selling.

People say that they want the markets to carry on, but they wont if they don't put their money where their mouth is.

true friends

Will still be here waiting and caring, when you've gone off in a huff.

Will say what they think, and see both sides.

Will welcome you back and nothing will need to be said

ache!

I have planted four beds of potatoes, and a row of carrots.

I have turned and cut a dozen bowls, stamped seven , slipped and decorated five.

I ache and an shattered!
However it is very satisfying and I wish for a proper workshop that isn't cramped.
At least I have a working workshop now!
