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...!!!

Autumn leaves.

    Autumn arrived for real this past week ..... with some amazing colours !

Norfolk

A great sunny warm October weekend in my favourite county. Can't believe i was so lucky to have lived here in a previous life. It feels a bit like going home even though it was such a long time ago.

Skein of geese at dusk!

Another Raku Day.

Better results  this time.

 

Wayfarers Gliding day

Leah Rance and Lesley.

   Had fantastic day at Buckminster Gliding Club in the Vale of Belvoir on Saturday, we were all a tad apprehensive but what a great experience it turned out to be, think we may well have to go again soon as we now have temporary membership of the club for 3 months, Leah was the brave star of the show and ended up doing 4 loops with her instructor, she is definitely an adrenalin junkie and hooked I think...We had an air tow instead of wynch launch and were up for about 30 mins, absolutely amazing!!!



Moi! all strapped in .

Steve ready to go.



Leah ready to soar.
