MattA was super nice enough to give my gf some clay to work with.

Needless to say she was promptly stood over for said clay and this was the result:

Littlest one is about the size of a 20c piece:

Nice work Velvet , maybe a new art-form for you

Thank you penny. Picked up a few books on glazes and oxides, although they are 20 + years old, going to have a read thru them then of to the community art centre to fire some of pots.

Hi Mate , definately different , i like the last free form one . Stepping outside the square of even ones comfort zone is rewarding in itself .Cheers Alpineart

Thank you for the kind words Ian, the last one is a little proto-type of a large one i eventually intend on making with 4-5 tiers.

Pity you bought books elsewhere. I have some for sale. The information in the older books is just as relevant today as is was twenty years ago - probably better as the newer ones don't go into as much basic detail. I also have some "Ceramic Review" and "Ceramics Monthly" magazines for sale as I need to make room for other things.

Ah well, good luck with the sale. I'll have to make a trip down one day with the Gf to have a look at what pots you have for sale.

Hi VS, did you get to glaze and fire these yet?

Hi mate, i didnt, these ended on a shelf somewhere. Iv been getting alot of inspiration from a few guys on the IBC forum with there experimental pots. Just need to join a local class.

In the meantime, iv been scouting out wholesalers for Yixing pots, purple clay, i love chinese pots
