Mugs

Oops, I've been neglecting my blog! But I have been getting creative and very productive since my last blog, I promise! See, here's a few mugs I threw:

And some handles I pulled, waiting to be attached:

And this was my first attempt in many years of pulling the handle on the mug:

^ Not bad, hey? Might need a bit more practice. Pulling handles isn't my favourite thing in world!

Below is my trusty kiln. It's seen better days, but still works fine. I really need a bigger kiln though.

Well, that's it for now. Sorry, I know it's not much of an update.

I guess I should add, I really love living in the Riverland. I've only been here for a couple of months, but already feel quite at home. I love the people, the scenery, the bird life, the peacefulness, the food, the festivals, the markets and the people! The people get a double mention, because they're so lovely! So many beautiful people have come into my life since moving up here. I feel very blessed! I'm going to be introducing children to clay in 4 schools in the coming weeks. I'm helping set up the Loxton lights for Christmas. I can't wait to see the display once it's up! It is definitely a great time to visit and I'd love to see you! :)
I'll try and update this more regularly.

For anyone in the know - I've just started the Christmas biscuit cook-off! ;)

Bowl-A-Thon

Hello all you potters out there! I've decided we need to do a bowl-a-thon in preparation for the Christmas rush! How many bowls can you thrown (or coil, slab build, pinch - whatever your chosen method is) in a day (8 hours)? Just for a bit of fun and also to get some stock ready! It would be nice if there were a few of us doing it on the same day and we could post up our results and photos - wherever you are in the world! If you want to join in: comment here or message me. We need to decide a date soon! Happy potting everyone!
