But for now, they're all still just greenware! YAY!!!!
Actually, some of them have started to come back bisqued.. whatever, I am ignoring them for the time being.
More will be coming, but here are a few highlights of pottery so far:
On the first night of class, I threw just a few things, but it felt so good to be back on the wheel!
The next week, I trimmed on feet and added mug-handles. These are my two batter bowls, and a little mug.
Big mug!
I've always wanted to throw those lovely round pots with tiny long bottle necks. My first attempt of the year ended in a flopped-over neck that didn't look quite like I intended (this is the pot on the left). But when I added the two handles, I was really happy with it. The back handle is like a bird's wing, and the front handle is a ram's horn.
Adding a spout! This bowl was a little too dry to really be doing this, but I risked it. Maybe it will fall off in the kiln.
Pots with holes. The sphereish one is going to house a candle, and its base is right next to it in the picture. The baby vase in back grew a hole when I fluted it, so I just started carving holes in the other flutes and all was well!love, Jimmy
