30 more pots to glaze! And they are all straightforward dippers, so I am very close to being done with this batch.
Starting a new trend for teapot lids with a uhhhh ummm large flat side. This is a new trend and not a crack so please get excited and tell me how awesome you think it is 😍😅😳
Only one kiln-tastrophe! Everything else looks good and crack free 🤞🤞🤞 Now, to make glazes—I’m doing an alabaster semi-matte, a frosty blue, and the crater/mossy glazes!
Have brought all my pots in for a final dry and then off to the kiln!
All you sourdough bakers can bow down and appreciate my Maryetta's Oat Bread loaves for a change. Plus: Parker House Rolls and chocolate chip cookies!
Risky search for pottery tool I was interested in went fine. This might be a sign the internet really is dead.
Yes all of that would have been wise. I started at about 5ish and that was a rather serious error. I’ve also made this a few times a year since it was published. I’m just apparently an idiot today. 😂 A hungry one!
Market time! Pop on down to Helensville Showgrounds and take home some fresh pots!
Hello Local Friends! I'll be at the Helensville Market tomorrow with a bunch of pots to sell. Pop on over and grab a mug or a vase or a bowl! Or just say hi!
My roses are having a late bloom, someone is mowing the grass, a neighbour is building a new letterbox, and I’m here throwing pots on my porch with my next door neighbour while thousands of kilometres away a madman threatens to turn a nation of 90 million into a living hell.
