Ceramics (and a tiny bit of tatting!)

Still busy enjoying ceramics at the moment.  Throwing is getting a bit better though very inconsistent!

The little cups at the back have tatted snowflakes stamped into them (like the vase from the previous post).  I have now glazed them and they are waiting to be fired again.

First time throwing "off the hump"

The pieces below are waiting to dry

before finishing off the bottoms

so they can then be bisque-fired.

I also attempted a pot with lid.

It turned out looking very "pearish".

So I tried a second time...

to make a pear...

And even shaped the top like a leaf.

This one is waiting to dry enough so that I can cut the lid.

Can't wait to see what it's like inside

and if I've managed to make the walls thinner.

And to finish,

I'm trying to make moulds of lace to use in pottery.

This was one attempt:

It's not going to work for what I wanted...

but I can still press clay into it and get a pretty good imprint.

I'll try it when I'm next there and show you.

See?  Lots of pottery... but still tatting!  :-)

Best wishes,

Frivole
