Ceramic stuff

that teapot is cool,great finish too.its a shame your tutor curbed your idea,you could have made the 'tea cup' car too. ;D

lol!!so,for you,pottery is all about the women,not the wonderful,beautiful,skillful shapes...oh bush to it,you're right


that tea pot is mega btw!

Yep, I like the large teapot too.

Oh, and is life not for living and women ??


Sorry, I cannot help it, just love them all.
My mates wife was one of my students, and because of that icould and would never hit on her, then I found out later he had met her and married her. I have had a longstanding thing with her bonkers older sister, which kinda makes up for it, and I did teach the youngest sister a few tricks too
6 girls, and one brother in the family, and he does not like girls.

Thats really smart,the glazing process can really make or break a piece.I would'nt blaim yourself though,its your tutor's job to guide you and fire your work.your work would have been fired before you glazed it.work does'nt usaully shrink anymore once fired so the lid could have been fired sperately or stood on ceramic feet like the ones used to stop it sticking to kiln furniture.glaze bubbles for 2 or 3 reasons as a rule.it was fired too high,on too thick or had impurities in it.great idea all the same ;D

Cheers for that, I did get cheesed off with the chap, He seemed really cool at first but a PITA by the end, will go back somewhere else next time.
Lid stuck was partly my fault I'd built a lip inside, but whatever I did there was one bit of glaze I forgot to wipe, but he was adam-ant that it should be fired with lid in situ.

So to lift spirits, (only nearly ruined by tutor, and he really liked it) here's a relief of a pic I found in a Punk artists book or summat which wasn't this pic it was copied off this pic,

So mines a 3D relief copy of a copy!

currently on the wall.


and at college


Grizz ya'll have to reach out/take some pics if its owt like ya trailer building it should be smart

So it would take a pointy teacher to make you go back?

Reanimation made me do it ;D ;D ;D


Ok, keep in mind, a few years ago, I pretty much had "fire sale" of everything I owned, what was not sold at silly prices, was given away to mates and strangers.
Loads of wooden furniture that was handmade in the house, but you need to come over for a cuppa tea to see them.

Here are a few bits I turned years ago (read 15 years or more)
The shallow container and lid was turned from the same piece of Guava tree stump that we cut from an old tree in my dads garden.

The other balls etc were more just exercises in finner chissel work.



This is actually larger in all directions than it seems, made it one year to go with a wrought iron bed I made at a mates engineering shop , when I still lived in Cape Town, one of few pieces I will probably keep for a long time. Perfect place where I throw clothes.



The one bowl I made, coils, which did get stuck to the tray in the kiln, note the lovely toxic glaze.....
The next pic is the inside, I still keep it, because the orange is so right.




Last of the small pieces I kept, all have specific significance to me, but absolutely no artistic merrit.


Reanimation, you asked for it....
