Wow! I can’t believe Christmas has come and gone already! My husband completely surprised me this year and bought me a pottery wheel. I mostly hand build and the wheel as been a challenge to find time and let’s be honest —it’s a bit intimidating at first. So now at my house I have a pottery wheel I can use whenever I get some time and don’t have to worry about driving to the studio in town to use one there. It was in my kitchen for about 2 weeks -I know, bad idea-now it’s in the basement in a small space I made by relocating several filing cabinets, more about my small space pottery studio in a future post.
About a year and a half ago I did a doodle drawing for a church art event. This month I carved the same flowers into a leather hard vase I threw on my wheel! I love the results. I love doing something on paper and being able to reproduce it in clay or glass. Paper, pottery and glass, it’s a fun mix and what I do here at Hyde Park Hill!
Below are pictures of my verse doodle along with my pottery and glass inspired by my doodle!
Enjoy! and happy creating in the up coming new year!
