A set of 3 nesting bowls with the Northern Lights A set of 3 nesting bowls with the Northern Lights and a starry sky. A panoramic view of the lights dancing around the rim.

This student’s mug is beautiful and inspired. A This student’s mug is beautiful and inspired. A mushroom sprouting from the clay of the earth that we use to make the mug. A reminder of our connection with the earth and how it supplies what we need. The lunar eclipse last night reaffirms our solo planets path through the universe. A rare chance to see ourselves by the shadow we cast and know everything we need is on this planet. Join us for #potteryclasses in #Sundre starting this week. Thursday evening is full while other evenings are still available.

Having not worked with porcelain much it was time Having not worked with porcelain much it was time to make a plate. Porcelain is fickle, so I heard, the plate didn’t develop the dreaded S-Crack. I’ll attribute that to luck. But after throwing this I applied porcelain orange slip and a red slip at random. The red needs some adjustments! Trimming the inside of the plate revealed the color combinations against a bright white. Join us for the next #potteryclasses in #Sundre starting the 3rd week of March or so.

An interesting piece made by one of the students i An interesting piece made by one of the students in a class. I really like the imperfect glaze. It adds more interest to the tray. It makes you look closer to see the black spots created by the glaze. I have some other students work to fire yet and it will be interesting to see what this creative group have made. Each piece is so different and interesting. Join us for #potteryclasses in #Sundre starting the week of January 21st.

We had some good weather and got a raku firing don We had some good weather and got a raku firing done. It is always exciting to get a very quickly finish pot. Instant gratification. Be ready for unexpected surfaces, colors and of course – lots of fire! For the #potteryclasses in #Sundre I don’t teach raku. You can’t predict the amount of wind here. We have #giftcertificates available for the Pottery classes after #Xmas Visit http://www.potteryclasses.page for details. #Olds #Didsbury #Carstairs #Innisfail #Bowden #Reddeer #Calgary #pottery #handmade #arts #Christmas #raku

A French Butter Dish. Keep your butter nice and cr A French Butter Dish. Keep your butter nice and creamy all the time while sitting on the table. The butter goes in the bell-shaped top. Put enough water in the base to submerge the rim of the top to make an air tight seal. Makes a great Christmas Gift. I will be at the #Bergen #christmasmarket, 10 kms south of #Sundre on November 24th. #Olds #Didsbury #Carstairs #Innisfail #Bowden #Reddeer #Calgary #pottery #handmade #arts #butterdish
