January pieces...

I'm not sure what we've been doing in January but we were quite busy going to Egypt and ... well I can't remember right now but here are the nicer pieces. I'm still feeling VERY rusty but I'm sure this will pass soon enough!

They're not finished or fired yet so hopefully they make it through ok!

My new studio in Gloucester

I finally started working again and though I feel a little rusty I'm really enjoying it


these were made last week and might not make it to firing... we'll see how they clean up!

something new... Porcelain!


I started working with porcelain and these pieces were created in my home studio in Cape Town


I used fine porcelain and Black Clay(no grog) for all of these pieces.









Playing with colour...







my first stoneware pieces

I thought I'd start this blog with photo's of what I made in Cape Town...
This is the first piece that I made in Sam's studio and I still love it! Note Sam peeking out from behind it...
This is the moment I finished it...


and as I look at it every day...



This is in Black clay - before firing...

and after firing...



and finally - I couldn't leave this out!
