Pottery.

Well starting today I am back in my potters guild! I am very excited and can't wait to get my clay tomorrow. I will be focusing on things that I use with my knitting for the first couple of weeks. So buttons, yarn bowls, slab plates, pin heads and stuff like that. Then the hard stuff will begin like mugs and goblets and lids.

I"m not doing classes but will be using the studio and kilns and I am so excited. I haven't thrown in a couple of years.

I will be taking orders within the next couple of weeks after I get used to the wheel again. And to see where my abilities end. I'm not all that great to begin with, however my mom loves my work and so does my husband.
I am very excited about doing yarn bowls. take a look here.
I have a few people that I want to make bowls for. But I will also be selling them for about 25 dollars (maybe 30. depends on clay cost).
I'm super excited about doing buttons. I love the look of clay buttons but have only found a few that I liked enough to buy. So I can't wait to start designing my own in my own color scheme.
My guild has around 50 colors of glazes from breaking glazes to full coverage glazes to glazes that are clear.

Maybe I will drop knitting for a few months while I get back into my pottery?? Yeah right. I am addicted to socks and hats right now. I have a sweater worth of yarn in a beautiful dark purple waiting to be knitted. However I can't decide on a pattern and it is driving me crazy.
I need electrictree to help me decide on something as she is great at gauge. As my gauge seems to be off on almost everything.

Anyhoo. that is it.
