...new pots in the studio!


...did you hear about the man who walked the beach at west end Morecambe and found some whale vomit?
They call it "Ambergris"...and the perfumers of Paris use in in their wares!!

Well we walked the same beach this week, our local beach......I have to say, not knowing at that point about the "Ambergris" and found this!!


The "Ambergris"...is said to be worth up to £100.000 ....
...what the!!!

This driftwood is to become the potter's next conceptual piece...with figures all along it...
...will let you see it when it's finished.

Some more stuff out of the kiln today made by a couple of people in the classes....both very talented...


 
Marcia's pot with dragonfly and irises... 

 ...and a close up of the glaze...


...this head of the cockerel by P.W. with a really strong finish...red glaze is hard to use ...



I noticed this on the bench...an order for one of the potter's harvest pots...
...the fields ready for gathering...
