Welcome!

Hello. This is a new blog about my pottery and pot making, for friends, potters, buyers. I am new to blogging. Please tell me if you find mistakes.

I am after function and grace in pots, not asking much. I do understand it takes time to do this well and people make pots for their whole lives. I've started late, but why not be ambitious?

People have been making pottery for at least 10000 years, all over the world. There must be hundreds of traditional styles and ways of making, as well as individual variations and inventions. It's huge field. What a pleasure to join it, to look around and see no end of things to learn, try, and develop.

Here are a few pieces I've got available now.   These cups are made in porcelain, fired to cone 10, so about as durable as pottery will be.

Most of my pots are made on a wheel, but here's something else, just a slab like a pie crust, loosely shaped. I like the looseness of this sort of thing.

And this fish is low-fired, just at 1800 degrees rather than 2350 degrees. Sounds still plenty hot, but not so tough. Not likely to be so handled and washed.
