the drying game

Pretty pink wrapping with vine.
I’m making more of the hanging flower pots and the ones that make it successfully through the firings will be in the shop next week.
This time of year it’s getting warm and lovely in the green house, the warmth spreads in to my workshop and speeds up the drying of my newly thrown pieces - strangely enough it takes me by surprise each year… I’m under the illusion that I cover it real thoroughly when I leave in the evening but when I come back the next morning I realize that I should have tucked it in even more carefully. The result is a lot of drying cracks and so I get to fill up my ’seconds shelf’… One of the joys of clay ![]()
