new work

After my making frenzy of the past few weeks I have two kiln loads of finished pots. There are lots of new shapes in there which I will need to live with and use for a while to assess how well they really work and what I really think of them. First signs though are good. Loving the cobalt highlights, stops all the rust getting too drab.

New Website

Having run out of patience with trying to learn html I have decided to use an on-line web builder. Weebly is dead easy and results can be made quite clean and simple. While I am trying to sort out my domain name the site can be previewed at

Starting Work

The fine dry weather really helps with my potting - I can get stuff done about 4x faster. The cycle of making a pot including all the different stages and drying times normally takes at least a week in the damp Dorset climate... in the warmth and the dry of this week I can do the same in 1 day

especially if I use the oven to speed things up even more...

I have managed to make a kiln load already - in record time for me. I am experimenting with a lot of new shapes so cant wait to see how they come out
