The vast majority of my pieces so far have been made of stoneware, which is either rolled out for the flatter pieces or cut into blocks for the others.
My tools are simple.
From block to cottage-boat in a few easy steps.
The top of the kitchen cupboards is a great place for drying.
My kiln, nicknamed 'The TurtleDroid', is small but plenty big enough.
My palette is simple too, but I'm constantly surprised by it, and very grateful for its abundant gifts.
On the good days, when the Kiln Gods have been benign, and the clays and the colours dance together, I'm really chuffed with the results.
At other times, when I've forgotten something or am learning something new the hard way, there is always the pail and the French drain that lies beyond it. Nothing is ever wasted, and "This is ceramics, there are no certainties."
