Drawing Ginger Flowers

These drawings were a class activity last term.
I used pastels to capture the great colours. The second drawing was done a week later when the flowers were no longer fresh.

February 2007 I made a teaset for my great niece. Here is a link to that posting.

Ready to decorate

These teapots are thrown on the wheel and are ready for decoration.

teapots by hand

These teapots are made from stamped slabs, shaped in a mold and then cut and assembled.

Jewellery 2

Puting them together is fun :)

Jewellery

I have also been dabbling in jewellery making. I have made a few pendants and some beads so far.

The Native Violet

Here is the outcome of my native violet design.
The glaze was slightly opaque where I would have preferred a clear glaze which would have given stronger colours in the design.

Wood firing

these pieces were fired in a wood burning kiln which I helped to fire.
The square teapot is not functional - just for show :)
