New pots for 2015

First firing of the year unloaded and I am really happy with the firing. Some ideas I have been setting up for quite a while have turned out better than I could have hoped. Clay, slip and glaze working well together. Looking forward to pushing this on as the year progresses.

here are some snaps of some the pots .....nice bit of Winter sunshine is getting back into the workshop now as we move further into January.....

Happy Chap......

I have been elected to be a full member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen......which is great news. http://www.crafts.org.uk/about-the-guild.aspx
I had hope that the selection of work I had sent for their deliberation was of a good standard and would appear that they felt the same. Here's to future opportunities at the Guild.......

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Happy new year one and all. Here's to a great year ahead!!
