the sheds have been on the back burner this week, but today one thousand reclaimed hand made terracotta tiles – Norfolk pan-tiles – were delivered and things are moving again. the roof was prepared last week and watertight on Monday.<\/p>\n

luckily the lorry delivering the tiles could drive onto the paddock and hi-ab the crates into position next to the back of the shed. by the end of the day there were two rows on the front part of the roof.<\/p>\n

next week the electrician will insert the light and power point wiring so that the walls can be completed. I will have a light in my kiln shed.<\/p>\n

two deer sightings today. at the edge of Bale wood there was a fallow deer with a well grown youngster. unfortunately too far away to get a good photo, but here is another of my very poor wildlife pictures. it’s not easy while trying to restrain a lurcher on the lead. of course, once she realised they were there T got rather noisy and there was no more chance for photos.<\/p>\n

the other was far too distant to attempt a photo, in the stubble field next to H’s wood. I was talking to the builders, Alan and Peter, behind the shed, and I could see a moving dot. it was a roe deer, probably the same one I had seen last Sunday in the same place. they seem to like the late sunshine in that field, it was the same time of day. on Sunday I was in the stubble field with Sal, and much closer. there was a large dark coloured doe and a very red coloured buck, sunbathing. they didn’t put up with our presence for long and disappeared into the wood. (this is the anenome wood).<\/p>\n

some more pots are emerging. this time I have applied blips or bumps to some of them – a direct inspiration from the African pots I have been looking at.<\/p>\n

this is the terracotta crank. I also tried the industrial crank. it’s not very plastic, cracks very easily, and won’t stand up enough to make a really big pot. I tried, and ended up with two medium sized pots. that’s the first time I haven’t managed to make a pot. I think there’s a lot of sand in it, it’s meant for making saggars.<\/p>\n

\"bobble-pot-2.jpg\"<\/p>\n

so perhaps I should try combining the two cranks.<\/p>\n

\"bobble-pot-3.jpg\"<\/p>\n

this one I attacked with the comb.<\/p>\n

until the sheds are finished I can’t really attempt to fire the kiln, and Paris fashion week is rather imminent, so not much more making for the time being. its a shame as the weather is very pleasant and it would be good to be in the workshop. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
