So whats been going on @ Barrington Pottery

It's been a while since I last posted a Blog

almost a Month.

We have been very busy, and I'm not sure where the time has gone?

But since I last posted a number of things have happened.

So here is a brief update on where we are at!

In the showroom I built a new table from old scaffolding planks.

We have a friend in the Village that owns a scaffolding company

so I asked him one Sunday night in the pub

" what do you do with old planks you no longer use?"

He said he would get some of his lads to drop some down to us

when they were next in the area.

All I did was put it together and sand it down afterwards

Just Perfect!

We have also made some more pots for a medieval style film being made by

20th Century Fox.

Being filmed in Cardiff at the moment.

The new Large kiln means I can fire lots more Pancheons

at any one time.

Here is one of the new finished pancheons out of the new kiln.

and I've re subscribed to Ceramic Review!

I still am amazed as to just how many pots I can fit into the 

New Kiln.

It's still firing hot at the bottom but I'll sort that.

I've been extremely busy making pots 

this is a Sunrise when I turned up at the workshop one morning.

I'm sure I will soon work out the best way to get 

the most out of the kiln.

It's taking much longer to load a glaze firing

but it's also taking an extra half a day to cool down.

We are now on St Mary's Church Key rota

and we have had our first two weeks.

I love opening it up in the morning and closing it up at night

it just gives you a bit of time to appreciate

it on your own. and capture some of the sunlight.

These Cereal bowls were fired at the very bottom of the kiln

you can see they are much darker.

But all the dark ones sold first!

A Bit higher up the kiln our Honey glaze looks great

and this ramakin is what the bowls above should have looked like.

Here  we have some new Pancheons 

on my new showroom table.

We  have supplies two new shops

one in west bay called the Lobster in the Cupboard

and one in Lyme Regis called Found ( Ryder & Hicks ).

and then we set off to Scotland for Doug & Hannah's Wedding

we went Via the Lake district 

Strange to see Snow on the hills in May! 

But it all went brilliant!

One of the few shots that was taken of us both.

Now we are making pots for 

The River Cottage Spring Fair.
