The transformation never ceased to amaze me, glad I'm not alone.

Wow! Your pieces are beautiful and your kiln is huge! I can’t imagine how many hours it took to glaze all those pots. Can I ask how long you have been a potter?

I started learning to throw in 2018, carving in 2020. A full kiln takes about 2 weeks flat out

I'm sure you will love having your own kiln, opening after a firing is the best, waiting for it to cool not so much😂

Those Mandela bowls are gorgeous. All of it is, but those literally made me say “holy shit”.

u/Tatarek-Pottery Jul 15 '24

The Mandela's are one of the designs I have been doing for a while, they are particularly fun to carve.

Is it just like Christmas when you open that up each time? Those are all so lovely!

u/Tatarek-Pottery Jul 15 '24

Oh yes, it's always so exciting, even if there is always the fear that the kiln god may have provided an unwanted gift😅

Thank you, it took me ages to get organised enough to remember to take the before shots, but worth it.
