I've been away, so haven't done a lot of pottery of late, but these are fresh out of the glaze kiln. Silly little pinch pot animals for some family members at their request.

I think I enjoy hand building and wheel throwing equally. My upcoming online workshop (previous post) will focus on hand building because it’s the most accessible way to make pottery—no equipment needed. I went through a phase of forming teapots with #PinchPots—yes, like the ones kindergartners make. You take two pinch pots, let them firm up, and then join them together at the rim to create a vessel. It’s a simple technique with endless possibilities. #pottery

Finally started that pottery class I’ve been hankering after.

First pottery class was yesterday, and I had a blast. I've already signed up for the advanced class in January. Flopped my very first thrown pot, but that's fine..second one went better, but is still a disaster, lol. Learned a ton (also way more into built than thrown, so whatever), and had a ton of fun. Can't wait for next week. #pottery #pinchpots

So, a bit of pottery porn for a Saturday. Whilst illustration is my main gig, I do make stuff. Not for a while, as Covid and lockdown sort of took the heart out of me. Also, won't be able to kickstart it again until the spring because of the insane energy costs. But I thought I would show a few of my favourite pieces

ETA: Thankyou so much for all the likes, comments and boosts 🙏 xxx
