Barrel Firing

My very first barrel firing yesterday. I'm fairly certain it is illegal to set something burning like this. It was fabulously fun. 

New stuff

I heart Edmund de Waal

This is the latest TV programme on BBC 4 featuring the one and only Edmund de Waal. He needs no introduction.

In the mood for tea

Teapot # 5. Still dripping. Haha but I'm not that upset. 

Inspiration

I like the pieces in this show more than I thought I would. 

A good throwing day with Procelain

Chubby Teapots

I kind of like them chubby and not looking like teapots. Haha!

Tea or Coffee?

My third tea pot is born with matching cups. I tested with green tea and the feeling is just right. The coffee dripper turns out not too bad either. It gets the job done perfectly. Head on over to Mud Colony and check out what's happening in other potters' studios.

Not sure

I really am not sure I like this guy....the shape is a bit……off.  I don't know. I may like it off-ness in a few days. 

Tea # 4 and 5

Am I getting better? Hopefully I'm. Teapot # 4 and 5 are in the making.

Mud Colony I'm back. Ciao!

Tea bits coming together

Here is my attempt at an altered Japanese style tea pot. I think I'll make a second one.  The handle looks a bit too big and heavy for the body.
