New pots.

These are the slipped pots I decorated

this morning.

The one on the left was a trial, the middle one

my attempt that I was not happy with

It only goes to show that some designs only lend themselves

to a certain size.

That's what decoration is all about,

That instinctive feel of knowing what looks right.

and the one on the right is me crawling back

under my stone and saying that's all it needs.

To me this one feels and looks much better.

This bowl was not as good as I would have liked

but the only way forward is more practice. 

My Kiln had cooled down very quickly in this cold weather

so I was able to open it this morning. 

This is the entire kiln load on the table. 

the lids are for pots already made. 

This is one of the new pancheons, made with a mix of local clay. 

one of the finished salt pigs. 

and my larger baking or serving dish. 

and this large bread crock which has been made to order

with an old fashioned style wooden lid.
