Anyone else interested in Ceramics/Pottery/Wheel Throwing?

I took a semester in college (back in they day...) and LOVED it! My mom took all of my pieces and said I can't have them back until I stop moving, thats 15 more years before I can retire out of the coast guard. I think its just an excuse to keep them around!

Ok, here's a few

This is a "name your poison" mug! (cone 6)


a little jewelry pot (cone 6)


and a luminary (porcelain)


and a salad plate (part of a dinner setting - cone 6)


mud is fun

I've been playing with clay for about 8 years. Will post pictures soon.

Oops, forgot that I made the chick pitchers to the left (cone 6).

Ok.. so here's some of the stuff I made  (TotalColour, I love your luminary!)   Unless noted they are cone 6.  As you'll see I both handbuild and throw on a wheel, and like to try lots of different styles.   I love playing with clay ...hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Dinner Plates (I made them small intentionally 'cause I'm trying to diet -- the one is on a 'normal' size plate for comparison)


Some Vases/Pencil holders:


I call this a wall pocket, it's handbuilt you can put flowers (dry or fresh), or match sticks (hang next to a fireplace maybe) in it.


This is the penguin pitcher I made for my mom, very similiar to the Peep Pitchers you see to the left


The Frogs, I like to give these to new neices along with the 'frog prince' book and a stuffed frog:


This picture is kinda fuzzy, these are beads I made, they are low fire with majolica glazing


Some more majolica items:


And last, but not least, the most favorite thing I've ever made...my table lamp!!! My husband helped by making the wooden base

Awesome stuff! Pottery is addictive..been doing it about 8 years..still havent mastered throwing, mostly hand build.

Been a lot of years, but there a kiln in my garage, a ton of molds and most are from the 60's to maybe 2005.

I just have a really bad brain and can't remember how to work the silly kiln. Maybe one of these days. I used to be pretty good on a wheel, but my hands cramp too much these days, I do have some cool molds though.
