Firing



I've got a few cups and bowls waiting to be fired. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to get down to the kilns and get them bisqued.
I've recently loosened up my throwing style. Loving the big loose throwing marks. They fit so well to your hand.
These are the cups waiting patiently to be fired ...


Beginings

A hand made cup is different to any other type of cup you might have in your life. It changes the experience of drinking fundamentally!
A hand made cup fits to your hand, it wants to be craddled gently, embraced
A hand made cup encourages sipping and reflection, it's a little patch of quiet on a busy, noisy day

I make cups because I love them - and I like to share that with others. This blog is about that love affair
