is making pots dangerous?

Got some glaze test pieces out of the kiln this morning. They are mini vases of HANETSUBO series. Not too bad texture but I realised the wings weren’t even! Oh well, preatice and more practice. After back from work tonight, I was making some more but really bad gale was shaking my gazebo like crazy so I got really frightened of trapping underneath in case it’s blown! Quickly finished turning and evacuated inside the house. I think I’ll really need to get back to the studio at college soon...  xm

  1. These are gorgeous Maki! And your photo displays them beautifully too. I like the wings, they are imperfect, just like people. It gives them more personality!
