My cup






This is my cup :-). In the raw. Can you see the patttern
in the clay? I learned a new trick from a friend and it
made my work go much faster. I finished in half the time!
I think I finally have the hang of it. Next I will tackle a bowl :-).
Now this piece has to dry for about 3 weeks before it is ready
for glazing and firing. Glazing is a whole other thing I have
to learn, and everyone keeps telling me how hard it is :-).
I find working in the clay so soothing and relaxing, I could
get addicted to this. Have a magic Monday.

I love those designs on the side.

Thanks for checking my site. I am trying to keep at it, but life gets in the way as you know.

Three weeks! I'm surprised it takes so long to dry.

Thanks for all the lovely comments,
and Neil, you have to let them dry really slowly so they don't crack, that is why it takes so long.
