The pottery ladies (no, I will resist shortening that to the ‘potties’) have turned their attention to creating some garden art.

It is really quite a process as they discover and work with the rather inconsistencies of firing a glaze.

They are using leather strips to bring it all together and the kitchen table is often where it is all assembled.

The bell shapes are created for the top of the design and then the smaller pieces are added. Out in the pottery studio now are some clay birds- well actually there are also some real birds flying around looking for a safe nesting area – drying and waiting for the fire of the kiln. They might become part of the next group of garden pretties.

March On!
