Bottles..


    Have been practicing bottle throwing... no not literally though I did feel like it while trying to make these....Steve is making his usual sloe gin and wanted me to make some stoneware bottles/flasks...not too bad but a tad too small, will try again tomorrow.... am enjoying the challenge!

Slab pots.

Chris and Till's Pot made 20+ years ago.
Landscape Pot "1"





Went to my cousin's wedding last september in Holland and found a lovely slab pot sitting pride of place with lovely red roses arranged in it, it turned out to be one of mine made many many years ago, I had'nt remembered it at all. So I decided there and then that I must make more, so this week over a year on I made one...love making them but really don't  like decorating them.  I hav'nt reached that stage yet so before I ruin it I'll show you some pics at it's leatherhard stage...

Jewellery

"  Red The Cat "   the lovely gallery shop at Belton  House garden centre have taken another lot of my jewellery and all of a sudden everyone ( bit of an exageration! )  is coming into the studio to buy pots, better get some more stuff made quick, some hope eh! how can pottery making be quick. Should have started months ago...!!!
