remember I said I was starting a pottery class the first of april? (oh...maybe I posted that on facebook)... anyway...just had my last class on monday and I ended up making 15 pots in all. No, I don't think I will ever do pottery again but I have a new appreciation for it.
I fell in love with the glaze called angel eyes...It is a beautiful blue that can turn greenish in areas and is brownish around the rims or where it is thin. Every step of pottery is a guessing game and try as you might you cannot really control the outcome. which makes it that much more thrilling when something comes out that you like.
I went into the class wanting to paint designs on pottery but came out of it liking the glazes better. It was fun. If you live in the seattle area and want to do it yourself, take the class from Pat Colyar at the Kirkland Arts Center. She was incredibly patient, easy going and talented.

Beautiful! Looks like you had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteThe faces are really good- powerful and interesting to look at. They do remind one of Picasso's ceramic decorations. Would love to have those up on a shelf to look at.
ReplyDeleteWow these are so cool! I wish I could take a pottery class but I cant find one in my area. I'll keep searching :P
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful pots Teesha!
ReplyDeleteI really like the color schemes!
ReplyDeleteWhat great designs, these are gorgeous :-)
ReplyDeleteand an awesome job of it your did!
ReplyDeletei love that color glaze too and especially like it paired up with the brownish one
beautiful!
You did an awesome job! I have been making pottery for about 6 years now and am finally just starting to make pieces I'm proud to show people. My first pots didn't look anything like yours! I'm glad you had a chance to try it. Thanks for sharing your work.
ReplyDeleteThese pots are all really fantastic! I took a pottery class with my dh, gosh, 11 years ago and had a baby in tow. She was still young enough to stay put on a blanket so she's hang out on the studio floor while the man and I got messy with clay. We still have some of those (heavy and thick!!!) products and I love remembering that time.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to play in porcelain... :)
Enjoy your pots!
Teesha I love how your personal style shone through something as basic as a bowl made of pottery. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThese are very, very cool, Teesha. If you ever decide you could part with one, please let me know.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Deb
These are wonderful. Oh! what fun you had. It shows in your work.
ReplyDeleteKeep on creating....
I love the pots you have made.

Teesha, these turned out really well. I took a pottery class once and nothing turned out...at all!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out nicely!
