C&H DAY

This morning was taken up with running some errands near and far and when I finally got home it was time to get to work making some pots. I am still in a terra cotta cycle and needed to get a number of small bowls and teabowls made as well as a group of 3lb bowls, several covered serving bowls and a couple of "cookie jar" forms made before the end of the day. The first board full of pots, seen here went exactly as planned, a group of four small bowls, a v-bowl and a small serving bowl, the group that followed ended up being four covered serving bowls and matching lids on my longest ware board at just about six feet long. The last board was filled with four 12" v-bowls with four teabowls tucked neatly in to the spaces on each side. I deviated a bit from the plan, perhaps procrastinating just a bit and will need to make several covered pieces when I get back to throwing but plans are made to be broken as long as the boards get filled.
