Day Two Of Facebook Pottery Challenge

After reading yesterday’s post you will know that I am participating in a challenge on Facebook where potters are asked to post three pot pictures for five days and also nominate another to do the same each day – so I thought I would also share these pictures with my wordpress readers – that’s you 🙂

I am taking a nostalgic approach to this challenge and am sharing pictures that reflect my development over the years…yesterdays post showed pots with modelled wildlife on them, illustrating my nature influences.

Today’s images are from 2nd & 3rd year at Uni – 2001 & 2002. The bottles were made in second year. I had a bit of a thing for bottles at the time, and liked carving into them. The saggar vessels were also second year works and the surfaces are what triggered my interest in pit firing which I explored thoroughly in my honours year. The marbled works are from third year. All of my works that year were marbled, as it was expected that students have a cohesive and well researched folio.

You can check out my original post on my Facebook page, and even follow me if you like what you see 🙂

Until tomorrow….
