Root - Card - Jugs ...

As ever things are busy down at the workshop
at One point today I had three people queuing up to buy pots.
The last part of Chestnut Avenue was taken away today
watching these guys work is like watching a ballet
such elegant movements followed by the odd thud!
All of the School Kids dropped into my workshop today for a surprise visit.
They had made me a great big Thank You card.
and some big jugs were thrown today
these are 6lbs and about 12" tall

I have found that if I leave them to stand for 30 minuets and then pull the lip I get a much crisper lip.
and this evening has been a round of meetings and discussion's regarding Somerset Art Weeks.
Oh and it's Marions Birthday on Tuesday.

I should try that with the lip, Paul. Sounds like a good idea. I usually pull the lip just after throwing and before taking it off the wheel. Requires a bit of fettling with sandpaper after the bisque.
