The hands you layed on clayKickwheeld, curling,creamd to the lip of nothing,And coaxt to a white dancing heat that dayWill linger centuries in these towns and loamsAnd speak to men or beastsWhen Japanese and EnglishAre dead tongues.
from "The Firing" by Gary Snyder
These are my pots, glazed and fired. I especially love the tea set. It's glazed pale, glassy green and has a reed handle that my teacher's husband made.
The pottery class helped me brush up on my ceramics skills and rekindled my interest in working with clay. Luckily, I think I've found a way to make pottery on a more regular basis. My mind is reeling with possibilities; I'm eager to unite knitting and ceramics in some upcoming projects.
What a beautiful tea set! I just love the color glaze you used.
ReplyDeleteYou could use the blue container as a yarn ball holder. Stick the end through one of the holes and knit away!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the white mug. There's something very visually pleasing about the squat cup and extended handle.
I'm so impressed...you did a great job! ♥ I know it's hard to get your glaze exactly the way you want it, but I think that color is perfect. And that handle is way awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteYou made all of these? All the ones in the first photo? Impressive! I love the color of the tea set ones. And the mug in the bottom left of the top photo looks perfect for soup!
