Off the Porch and Growling

Today was technically the last day of class, and yet it was a very good day. I glazed five pots. Two coffee cups, an oil bottle for EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and two bowls, which are smallish but should work for cereal.

We watched the "Daughters of the Anasazi" on DVD as well, while sharing our traditional last supper - lol yes my play on words. Every class the last class, we all bring something and eat while finishing pots. I pulled seven handles, and made two spouts. Trimmed five coffee cups - lost one due to not paying attention, I had my hand on top of the pot while the rpm's where pretty high, and leaned over to pick up a tool, when I did so I shifted the pot causing it to become "airborne" which was worth a bad word or three.

So I ended up with four good mugs, I squared one out which will be interesting to try and see if it works. Also trimmed a bowl and a bottle which in the end would become a pitcher. The bowl would become the measuring bowl seen it the first picture.

I am really really happy with the pitcher so far, there is a technique for making spouts using a handbuilt method, but it requires the "right" pot. It doesn't fit all pots which when I stop and think about it is probably why there are so many ways to accomplish the basics. Anyway as I was saying it takes the correct pot in order for it to shine.
