Preparing part 2

Two days ago I threw all these mugs and yesterday I put handles on them all.  I have another Seventeen bowls to throw and then I will be prepared, well at least I will be once they are all biscuit fired.  I use these for paint a pot style exercise so then they have something decorated as well as something handmade by themselves.  I already have a small amount of each but as I like throwing things in batches, so why not a batch of a day?  I also have made some egg cups though I might have to make some more.

My Kiln is cooling down is about 150C and I am excited as I am testing a different white glaze that looks a lot richer, but I won't find out for a while, might have a sneak peak to see if I can spot one.

Children Throwing Pottery

A few days ago my little boy came in and had his third tutoring session on the wheel, has usually won't let me help him at all but this day he did and  really enjoyed himself.  He is 3 year old soon and he likes making pots like daddy, though he asked me the other day why I hadn't made a pot dinosaur and I told him to ask his mummy as she is the one that makes the animals.
