My daughter Evie came to visit for three days this weekend, and brought a couple of friends along. As part of the stay we all agreed they should have a go at making some pots, Evie has done a bit of ceramics before but for her friends Amy and Becks this was their first experience of “playing with clay”.
We started with an idea to build some small slab mugs for espresso coffee but this evolved slightly. Evie stuck to the brief but Becks decided to go for a taller latte version and Amy pushed all the boundaries and made a jug.
All went well with the slab work so they had a go on the wheel.
With help on centreing, and guidance on basic techniques they all produced a bowl to go alongside the mugs and jug and Beck’s tea-light holder.
Everyone agreed it had been a successful Brittany – pottery throwdown, and they have all given instructions for glazing, so I can drop the pots off when we visit at Christmas. I hope the glazing goes well……..
Looks great! Fabulous selection of finished pots, so as you say, “just” the glazing to complete the job! Good luck 🙂
