since Potfest I have been under pressure to make more pots. a lot of the new stuff that came back from the fairs is spoken for by galleries, and others want some pieces as well, so I am hoping to make more along the same lines.<\/p>\n

\"1newbigcombed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

this one is made with the grogged pink stoneware clay, straight out of the bag.<\/p>\n

\"1combed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have put the crackle slip and chun combination over that combed surface before, getting an effect like raindrops clumping on a window pane. no doubt I will get something completely different with this … we’ll see.<\/p>\n

\"1handle\"<\/a><\/p>\n

continuing with these flange\/handles – they often make a huge difference to a pot.<\/p>\n

\"1biggergroup\"<\/a><\/p>\n

after three days I had a group of bigger pots,\u00c2\u00a0 but what I really need to do is replace all the slightly smaller, squat-shaped flagons, they are the ones that have sold.<\/p>\n

\"1squatter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

somehow it’s quite difficult to bring the size down. only two are really the same shape and size.<\/p>\n

\"1more<\/a><\/p>\n

this one is quite big<\/p>\n

\"1happy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

of course, it’s the very last one that has something of the same spirit. I mixed the solargis gris clay with some old reclaim and some grog to open it up, and became very unplastic and quite hard to work with.<\/p>\n

\"1bowlstart\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I need some more bowls as one is sold and the other is at the Bircham gallery.<\/p>\n

\"1bowl2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

again the unplastic clay tended to split more than I wanted, and would not take the pressure of the wooden comb on the inside.<\/p>\n

\"1bowl\"<\/a><\/p>\n

with a bit of mending I have two. now everything is drying ready for a bisc firing early next week.<\/p>\n
