Coincidence…or not?! The big game is tonight and I’ve been throwing lots of what I call ‘drum bowls’, they have a more upright demeanor than most bowls. I like the challenge that the change of curves offers and the vertical-ness presents a great surface for ash and salt to meet. These are 8-12lbs., somewhat larger than I usually make, but I’m determined to ‘go big or go home’ and I’m starting to worry about filling the kiln by early March. These will help.
I also threw a couple of boards of ‘minis’. Toff and I used to discuss pots that would fit in all the odd spaces left in a kiln in an effort to increase a firing’s value. I’ve been making things like this ever since. I like the challenge of making wee little pots that have the same detail and sophistication as bigger ones. 1/2 lb of clay. Some of the bottles will become mini bellermines.
A rare sighting of a purple Ellie Bird seen in her typical habitat!
