The glazing on this vase didn’t turn out as expected, and it was my first time carving on a collared in piece where I couldn’t feel the inside while carving, so it was kind of scary!! No mishaps thankfully.

Looking down from an angle at a table covered with big sheets of paper with handmade pottery pieces sitting on the table in different soft pastel neutral shades (they have recently been dipped into glaze, and now it’s drying on them)

Looking forward to the Easter long weekend. So many things on the to do list, but hoping for relaxed family time. I think this carved bunny and robin cup I’m working on looks like it’s carved out of chocolate. Don’t think studio reclaim would be very tasty. 🍫🐇

A medium brown coloured clay cup is being held on a soft work surface of foam dusted with clay bits. On the face of the cup is carved in relief a rabbit standing up on its back legs and a little Robin standing on the imaginary ground looking up at the rabbit. This is all on top of a cream, black and green woodland creatures tablecloth and art supplies in background.

A little pink and purple pottery heart 🩷 bowl I made. I threw the little bowl on the wheel and then altered it while it was soft on the wheel still. My first time trying this! Glazed with two studio glazes.

Another glazing learning experience. I think this combo was yellow iron and light sepia?? To be confirmed! It has a very small foot!

A handmade pottery cup sitting on a silver coloured etched try with a white background in soft focus. The cup has a small foot of a warm beige clay. The cup is glazed in a soft blend of pinks, purples and beiges. You can just see a little to the inside of the cup which is glazed in the same way as the outside.

My little mushroom cup experiment worked out not too badly… I’ve be learning what it’s like to work with the studio reclaim instead of B-Mix and I wanted to see if I could carve on it. It was a little more tricky to keep clean, but it was possible to do.
