Lost In The Clay

Pottery section in the studio


My day yesterday was full of pottery. I completely got lost in the clay. I pulled quite a few nice pieces which I hope to decorate with horsehair. I've pretty much used up all my porcelain clay and only have the stoneware left. Up until yesterday I had a strong dislike for this clay. It is hard to use and rough on the hands because of all the grog in it. Surprisingly I enjoyed pulling pieces with it yesterday. My favorite part was pulling off the hump. I managed to pull two tea cups, a lid and a spout for a tea set. I'm very excited about the tea set. You can see in many pieces in the photo above.
