Pottery


I met my sisters Ann and Janet tonight and we returned to pottery , for the first time together since lockdown . I completed my cave man spoons then made this landscape piece which will be painted like the welsh hills that surround Trelawnyd. 

It may double as a letter rack ….

I love this photo

  1. Good that your sisters are with you at the pottery class in case you throw a tantrum and start chucking clods of clay around.

    I did laugh about the 'hysteria' with the mouse in your cottage but bless it, it's now in mouse heaven. Some years ago my elderly farmer father sent his accounts to his accountant in his usual way - put into a brown cardboard box with no filing system - and received a telephone call from the accountant who gently said, 'Tom, can you check the box please before you bring it again, a young clerk opened it and found a dead mouse and screamed'. I then got a proper filing system in place to avoid any such mishaps.
    Pottery class seems to suit you well. Only my gay friends are allowed to re-arrange my furniture as I have always said they have a 6th sense about furnishings and they are the only ones who can advise me by saying, 'lemon isn't quite your colour, let's try this..'.

  8. Your pottery sculpture is unique and lovely. The curves are very pleasing. Your sisters have great smiles and they must be enjoying the class as well.

  13. What a great way to spend time together - happy times. The letter rack will be a useful addition to your cottage. I was amazed mouse had been able to nest in your chair - what were your menagerie doing!! Certainly not earning their keep!

  17. Will you add any embellishments or just paint? I hope we get to see the finished article. Looking at the photo, I've now started humming "Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters..." xx

  18. Groovy letter rack! (Or whatever it turns out to be!) Love the picture of your sisters. It's nice to resume some normalcy in our lives.

  19. Very wavy artwork, all your bills will have a lovely curve to them if you use it as a letter rack, and I LOVE that photo of your sisters :-)

  20. I'd love to do a pottery class with my sisters. My sisters aren't quite close enough geographically to make it work though. I just asked my husband if he'd do pottery with me and he quickly but politely declined. Sigh...
