A quick video of some pots that have been hanging out in the studio waiting to be drawn on.
I mentioned Toft slipware in the video. Here is one of Thomas Toft’s famous slipware dishes. Notice the trailed hatching on the rim.
I also mentioned Medieval Italian majolica. Below is a bowl with cross hatching. I really love these. This pot came from Orvieto and was made in the late 14th century.
I really must get some pots made tomorrow. Until then…

“Dovecot” by Paul Young
I had the pleasure of meeting Paul in person last September in England and got to view his pots firsthand.

I decided to do more wipes on the plates I had to slip today. This first one got decorated with finger wipes.
I then got to thinking about seeing Matt Grimmitt’s pots on his latest post. I spied the comb he made from a flexible rib there at the bottom of the picture.
So I made one of my own and did a bit of practicing on a bat before carrying on to
this board of plates.
These will probably all get amber glaze. I’m excited about seeing them fired.

(Mary Wondrausch Plate. 9″ dia)
This is the little plate we bought from Mary Wondrausch at Art in Clay. I really love the thickness of her slip trailing lines and the unconnectedness of those lines in the drawing of the rooster.
