Day 11

Writing into Life, more

Had a lovely afternoon at the pottery studio today. 

Thanks to Karen, Charlotte, Jenny, Lee and Sarah for their company and friendly conversation. Such a lovely atmosphere.  I finished off some pots that I’ve been working on for a few months, spraying on a glaze layer before the final – stoneware – firing. I have some different decorating techniques that I’ve been experimenting with, so looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

Also started on some new work – hand built – trying out different textures and making some use of plaster moulds. I finished one piece  and left it on the shelf for a bisque firing.  Two others are in progress, wrapped up in plastic and placed in a damp cupboard so that they’ll be still in workable form in a couple of weeks.

Home to my lovely Lydia, she’s had her tea and is now sitting outside – occasionally barking. 

Trev’s bringing fish and chips back for our tea, so no need for me to do anything much more than finish this post and enjoy a cold beer – sipped from a champagne glass, of course!
