Anenome bowl, thrown and altered #pottery 🧶
The photo is of a ceramic bowl. The shape has been altered so the bowl has six lobes and is flower-shaped. It is glazed inside and on the rim with shiny bone, FRZ on the body and spots of bone over the FRZ. Side view. The photo is of a ceramic bowl.

Add me to the list of potters struggling with Amaco Copper Red. This was 2 coats all over, 4 in the rim. Next time, slightly heavier coats and a layer of clear over the top. #pottery 🧶

It was meant as a gift, but I'm keeping it. The mushroom bowl.

When I picked this one up from the studio, I could hear Keith Brymer Jones in my head saying, "This is the best thing you've done!" 😂

Oil cruet, thrown and altered. I'm pleased with how it feels in the hand, how well the spout fits, and the glaze combo. I anticipate that I will not be happy with how frequently it needs to be refilled.
