Here are some of the (more successful) results of my recent 6 week pottery course. I made some pinch pots and a few other small items using both slab and coil building techniques. It's nice to have mini pots for succulents.

There were a few other items I made where I was really happy with the construction but felt that the way the glazing came out totally ruined the piece. Glazing is hard to judge.

Above: My favourite pinch pot. I liked the coarse crank clay a lot.

On Friday night I went to a dinner party & yumi made a rather delicious japanese curry pot for us all to enjoy. I promised I would bring pudding and cobbled together these mini blueberry cheesecakes (after first going on a charity shop trip to find some suitable pots).

And I think it was a success! Everyone finished them at least. Much better than the time i made the disastrous peppermint creams, or when me and Chris made a cake that was as thin as a biscuit.

I'm learning...
