Rice Bowls , pottery birdhouses and more

Lots of interesting glaze combinations came out of the kiln today.

I have made another teapot and some cups to finish off the set for our granddaughter's . I had a lot of fun making a little piggy bank...never to early for kids to start saving for an education!!

I love how the red bowl and the green bowl turned out,looks like Christmas is coming

The poppy bowl was made by Pat Dunker who spent an afternoon making pottery with me and the other one was made by Karen.All of these bowls were made on plaster hump molds,lots of fun to make and they all turned out so unique.

Thanks for stopping by

I grew up in Saskatchewan, yet when I was young the wind caught hold of me and over time I found myself "moved to live near" each of the three oceans surrounding Canada. Saskatchewan will always be a part of me, because that is where my childhood began. As a child, I played with clay, dug deep from the garden. Now, from time-to-time I use various other mediums, but I always return to playing with clay.I love imaging about the pieces in my mind. Building the pieces seems to be far less challenging for me, than glazing them! Yet, when a piece goes through the creating, building and glazing process and comes out meeting my expectations, then I feel I have won.

Having grown up and worked in the Kootenays all my life, I found myself semi-retired last year and needing something fun and interesting to do. I have always wanted to try pottery, so our good friend Karen took on the challenge to teach my sister and myself. My husband, Richard, was kind enough to give up his workshop to build us a studio and he continually makes improvements for us. We have been having the best time ever since. Caroline and Karen hold down the fort while the Baja frog enjoys the winter in Mexico and Arizona, but she returns to work in the spring. Looking forward to new creations. Have a great day!
