Writing again
I made one pot and started another at the pottery studio today.
I didn’t have a particular idea in mind when I arrived about what I wanted to do or what I wanted to make so I located a plaster press mould that I’ve used before, cut off a slab of clay, gathered a few tools and some canvas to work on, and made a start.
The pots are going to be candlesticks: a non-matching pair.
I used a construction technique that I haven’t used before, using the press mould to form a base and then alternating layers of rolled coils with rolled up, rounded lumps.
When the coils sank in places I accepted this as part of the process so the pieces are a bit wobbly and lop-sided, which I like.
