Late evening sun and new pots from the new kiln

Some new pots

Some new pots from a firing last week. A firing that I thought was going to be a disaster (long story and won't bore you with it, let's just say that there were flames where there shouldn't have been, which ended up with a blown up and burnt pressure gauge) but luckily most of the pots came out as well as I could have......

Some have already sold, but some are available. Please email me at timlakeceramics@hotmail.com for more details.

Back from a good time in London at Ceramics in City at the Geffrye Museum.

Last weekend was a good one at the Geffrye Museum for this years Ceramics in the City.
I really enjoyed the event last year and this year didn't disappoint.

Here are some of the pots I took with me to the show.....some of them sold, but some are still available: please email me if anything takes your fancy: timlakeceramics@hotmail.com

After a very manic couple of months I now have a few weeks to take stock and prepare for the next show at the end of October. Made By Hand, Cardiff. 28th-30th October.

Art in Clay 2016

Here are a few images from my stand at this years Art in Clay fair at Hatfield House.
Lots of pots were sold, but some of these are still available if anything takes your fancy. Please message me or comment if so.
Thanks to everybody who visited and came and said hello and took pots home with them.
It was great to catch up with friends and meet new customers. I especially enjoyed hearing about how much people enjoy using my pots in their every day life, very satisfying!

Now time to get back on the wheel and replenish stocks for the next shows that are coming up over the next couple of months.

 

More pots that are heading to the shows this Summer

Here are a few more pots that are heading with me to the shows this Summer. On the road to Penrith tomorrow to set Potfest in the Pens. The show runs from Friday at 10am through to Sunday at 5pm

The 'Pocket Rocket'

I fired a new experimental kiln this week. It turned out to be a good firing. Cone 10 was flat and glazed on one shelf and Cone 9 down on another set of cones. I introduced salt and soda whilst firing the kiln with gas and wood. It is only a small test kiln so I have called it my 'Pocket Rocket'

Some of the pots will be with me at the shows over the next couple of months.
