This morning I turned 10 pots and so now I have 8 pots and also I glazed another 8 pots and I am quite tired now.

Pottery - just thrown cylinders ready to be put away

Todays work - trying to improve on larger forms and taller shapes - about 2.5kg and 20+ cm

The smaller of them definitely feels a bit to thick so extra trimming needed.

We very much treat craft and heritage arts as “nice to have” extras that just magically happen in this country and it’s frustrating

We have lost a lot of traditional industries and expertise and little windows into the past

Greenware tea pots - leaf impressions left in slip

Greenware tea pots - leaf impressions left in slip

Greenware tea pots - this is the stage where you can always see the most of the leaves naturally as they peel off and leave a little bit of themselves attached to the pot

To get this sort of quality back you have to carefully underglaze or oxide them to make them pop
