New Hobby-- Pottery



I have been going to the pottery club in town (Wynyard)
Been having a blast. Playing with clay and learning new techniques.
Glazed and almost filled a kiln with a bunch of things I had created last Wednesday

I emptied the kiln this morning. It was like CHRISTMAS!!!


I brought them home today :)
Below are the pictures!

Andrea,who is patiently is showing me the ropes of pottery, really makes it FUN!

Making pottery is really relaxing for me .
Nothing with clay is fast.
The one thing I have learned about it , is that its all about patience!

That's it from by the hills!
Bye for now :)
