Ceramics, week 2

Last week's work - pinch pots - has been biscuit fired -This week, coiling. A demonstration, and out with the cameras -
My various coils - textured, twisted, large, small -
The spiky-rimmed item (sea creature?) is simply coils on the rim of a pinch pot. The rest are a variety of ring shapes ... let's see what happens next, and if they lead anywhere...
Coiling used to make or embellish yet more pots, including a disk of "agate ware" -
I was encouraged to photograph various arrangements of the pinch pots -
Then they went into my "storage drawer" - awaiting glazing -
And for people who like colour, here are the sponges we use to clean the aprons and tables at the end of the day -
