I love it when a plan comes together!

Ok so maybe not quite the same as when Hannibal lights his cigar, but I certainly felt like part of the A-Team today...(there's a whole generation that analogy was wasted on).

On the first day I have turned in 2013, I really just wanted to make SOMETHING without tearing it all apart. Once the first cylinder stood up without much trouble I set out to make flower pots...(ok, herb pots, I don't make things large enough to plant flowers in yet)

With a little guidance from the master potter himself, I learned how to turn the flower pot and even put an attached watering overrun tray on the bottom! Thanks dad!

I also mixed a new glaze to try, hopefully it comes out as I have it in my mind's eye. All in all a very productive day playing in the mud! (Fingers crossed they live through the firing!)
