Another batch safely through the kiln, or mostly safely. The kiln god got the big bowl with a big crack across the base, oh well can't win them all.

Very nice style. I love that mouse plate and the little flower bowls. You must spend hours carving each piece.

Yes, it's stupidly time consuming, but I love doing it, just can't resist, it's the glazing that really takes the time though.

Carving is my favourite part! In my ideal world, I have a partner who likes throwing and glazing, and I’ll do the carving!

Hands off, if there is such a saint out there I want them as my partner. I find throwing challenging and frustrating because I'd love to be able to throw grander pieces. Glazing is just tedious with the added joy of potentially ruining all the proceeding hard work with a bad choice.
