Speed Craft #2

If you missed my previous post about Speed Craft, please scroll down.

 Our second table was ceramics.  The tutor was Katie Almond who we've taken two classes with before - the first at Debbie Bryan where we made plant pokes and brooches and another in Leicestershire where we made a cake stand.  I collected my cake stand when we went to collect these little bowls, so I must show it to you soon.


I can't believe I managed to make this in just 45 minutes.  Rollling out clay, stamping it to make the impression, stamping and cutting out the letters and painting it all with glaze is a time consuming process!


I'm going to use it on my dressing table to keep my rings in.  The motif is a bit off-centre but that doesn't bother me.  I wish I'd been able to paint the outer ring of motifs, but I just didn't have time.  I stuck to the red/blue/navy combination again!


As you can see, it's just a shallow little bowl, around 4" diameter, so cute!  Once again, I really enjoyed working with the porcelain clay.

    Yes, it's turned out very well, especially for such a very short timescale!

    Dear Wendy
    I love that little bowl - amazing work for 45 minutes - 'Precious' indeed! The Speed Craft sounds as though it gives a good taster of the crafts on offer. You do so many interesting things...
    Best wishes

    Not sure if I'm supposed to hear Gollum in my head when I read My Precious.....

    Love the colour in the impression inside.
