I have been working on some of my tallest forms the past week. I usually use my stand up potters wheel for all my work, but as I was throwing I was having a difficult time pulling the clay up. So I tried the same amount of clay (9 lbs)at the sit down wheel and voila… it was so much easier!
These forms are my most detailed urn that I make…there are just so many stages to completion. Here they are drying, waiting for the next step where I apply the shellac or wax resist for the pattern. The large forms are 9 lbs and the little cute ones are 3/4 lb. I will post more photo’s as they progress.
Looks like they had babies!
Those are so precious! I began gaining interest in pottery after seeing the pieces of Beatrice Wood. I’m moving to Greenfield this summer and can’t wait to take a class with you this fall. Your work is gorgeous!
Thanks! Get in touch with me soon, stop by and see the studio if you want. I’ll have the fall classes posted in mid July on my website. Fall classes fill up early.
