End of Term Pottery Loot

-
My house is the most quiet it's been for a few days, my chance to show you the rest of the pottery I made this term. I won't be going to any more classes, me and pottery just didn't see eye to eye.
I made a couple of fun things though, so it was worth the time and effort!



Next term I've signed up for a very short course learning to do another new skill. Something I've been wanting to learn for a very long time.
Stained glass = choosing colours
(That's what I'm hoping for anyway!)

Wonderful pottery pieces - I would be so proud if I had made them. I love the face bowl and the polka dot ones the most but they are all excellent.

Nice ceramics! You will LOVE stained glass. It was my main subject at art school. It's a brilliant mixture of colour and craft. Hope you enjoy it. Watch out for that cobalt blue glass...

I love all those pieces of pottery.For my birthday last year my daughter bought me an hour's tuition on a potters wheel.It was great fun but I think I should have told the potter in advance that I was left handed!I produced 3 pieces which I was proud of and I did enjoy it.
Stained glass sounds exciting.can't wait to hear about it.

Summer Breeze

What's happened to the weather? It's raining and windy and my gas was switched of all day yesterday so it was cold too! This little sketch popped into my sketchbook from my windy head. I finished this painting on canvas above a few days ago, it's called 'Safe Harbour' and soon after finished the other painting (with the bird flying a kite) too. I didn't have a name for it until the end and I decided upon 'Summer Breeze'. That was a day when the sun was still shining but the wind was beginning to stir. Summer Breeze sounds quite soothing doesn't it and I quite like the song of the same name. :) That guitar intro takes me back to being 13 before teenage angst really set in! Windy and rainy it might be but my latest painting is filled with a peaceful setting of pattern and colour. I like textures and the effects of different painting techniques and I'm trying to balance randomness with pattern. Not an easy ta...

A Day Out

Brixham Harbour It's been a while since my last post hasn't it? It's been a very busy Easter holiday for me, lots of things to sort out and jobs to do. Today's my first day at home but there's so much catching up to do after being away I don't know where to start! So I decided to start right here and to make this blogpost :) I did manage to have some relaxing time too and one of the places we went to was  Avebury Manor.  I've been to Avebury stone circles more times than I can count but have never visited the 500 year old Manor House. Each room has been restored to a different time period to represent the different generations of people who lived there over the years. I love the handpainted wallpaper in one of the rooms, so detailed. It was difficult to choose which part to photograph there was so much amazing pattern.   It's based on   an early English chinoiserie wallpaper from around 1700. The artist Mark Sands working on t...
