Home made mugs

Made a mug (mine on the left, the one on right is done by my sister) using the coiling technique during the 4th pottery lesson.

We have progressed onto using the handwheel. It was so much fun! It was very satisfactory to create something out of a lump of clay. Looking forward to painting and glazing my works! I sure hope they don’t crack under fire!

Mic is pretty excited about my creations as well, especially since they are not fired yet and not ready for me to take home. Pity he didn’t join me though, but he was sweet to partly sponsor me for the expensive hobby. Thanks, Hubby!

My pottery work!

My pottery work!

Originally uploaded by Yappy.

Been taking pottery lessons with my sis at Brompton Road since the beginning of this year.

Pottery is something that i have been meaning to take up for some time, finally decided to try my hand at it when my sis took the trouble to do the research and since i have company in my sis.

In the picture are the dishes i made during the 3rd pottery lesson through the technique of slapping. First lesson was on pinching (the most difficult technique in my opinion) and I produced a bowl and a die. The second lesson was on hollowing and I made a box.
